America’s Oldest Credit Jewelers G STREET AT ELEVENTH _Slale _Extraordinary! One Thousand! $3.50 to $5 Fashionable Spring Hats FOR COLD VACCINE Experiments on Apes Fore- cast Possible Steps in Search for Preventive. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, April 23.—Hope for a vaccine to prevent the common cold has been found at the Presbyterian Hospital of Columbia University Medi- cal Center. The vaccine-making stage has been approached through use of an artificial cold produced in the laboratories—a real cold purified so as to be stripped of many uncertainties that ordinarily hin- der the making of discoveries. ‘This work and the seven years’ re- search leading up to it are described in a paper by Drs. A, R. Dochez, K. C. Mills, G. S. Shibley and Yale Kneeland, jr., in the Courier, official publication of the International Catholic Federa- tion of Nurses. The research is fi- i\;nced by the Chemical Foundation, c. At first real colds were given to chim- panzees until Dr. Dochez and his asso- ciates felt quite sure that no known ordinary bacteria cause colds, but that they only become aggravated, active and often dangerous as a result of a virus which is the real cause. Virus Is Infintlely Small. “A filterable virus,” the paper de- scribes this cause, “one of those in- finitely small and mysterious agents the exact nature of whose biological activity still remains obscure.” Their finding of & virus cause agrees with discoveries recently published from other American scientific institutions. The synthetic colds were produced by infecting the “chimps” with nasal wash- | ings completely purified of disease bac- teria, and which presumably contained only the filterable virus. { xposure to these synthetic infections produced in 50 per cent of the chim- panzees colds “exactly similar in all respects” to real colds. Tried on hu- man beings the artificial cold performed with precisely the same percentage and effects. “The experiments lead us to certain definite conclusions,” says the paper. “The contagious cold in human beings is due to an invisible agent which passed readily through filters which hold back all ordinary bacteria, and in all likelihood belongs to the group of so-called submicroscopic viruses. Other Germs Stimulated. “In apes one of the significant effects of infection with the filterable virus of | the common cold is the stimulation to greatly increased activity of any dan- gerous organism that may happen to be present in the upper respiratory ‘This we regard as of great impor- | tance, since it seems to explain the marked secondry activity in the respira- tory tracts of such organisms as pneu- mococcus, _streptococcus hemolyticus | and the influenza bacillus, which lead to the severe complications which some- times follow the common cold and in- fluenza. | “The next step in the investigation | is to try to grow the virus of the com- mon cold in the test tube outside the human body. Should this be successtul, | and there is already reason to think that it may be, the way will be opened for the preparation of & vaccine which | may prove useful in prevention of com- | mon colds.” | TELEPHONE DISTRICT On Sale Friday and Saturday!
