Cured by Antitoxine.

Flora Bearman, daughter of Maurice Bearman, of Peekskill, N. y., was attacked with membraneous croup. No physician was called until the next day at noon, when the family doctor, E. P. M. Lyon, who is also the Health Physician of Peekskill, found the disease presumably so well developed, as to preclude the possibility of recovery. He decided to try antitoxine. He called in Dr. Perley H. Mason, who is also a health officer of the town, and who has bad considerable success in curing diphtheria with antitoxine. Two doses of antitoxine were administered with no perceptible effect. Two more injections were made, and the results were more apparent. The dose was again repeated and the child began to grow better. One injection was then made, and a day later the patient was out of danger and has now recovered.
