PNEUMONIA NOW RANKED SECOND IN DEATH RATES Replaces Tuberculosis in Scale; Germs Are of Eleven Kinds. Pit Ti’tt's FvrrUil NEW YORK, Dec. 17.—With the reduction of the tuberculosis death rate by 50 per cent in the last twenty-five years, pneumonia stands out today as the chief death-dealing agent among infectious diseases. Throughout the United States registration area today, it generally is true that the toll taken by pneumonia is second only to that of heart disease among all causes of death, according to R. H. Hutchison, widely known biochemist. In New York state the number of deaths among each 100,000 persons caused annually by pneumonia still Is near 110, while that attributed to tuberculosis is now below seventy-five. However, p definite hope that science will soon make marked progress in the conquest of this last great problem among infectious diseases is seen by Mr. Hutchison, writing in the current issue of the American Druggist, It is based on the success of the two serums evolved and tested within the last ten years by Dr. Frank M. Huntoon and by Dr. Felton of Harvard medical school. Early Treatment If treatment is made within the first twenty-four or forty-eight hours of the disease with either of these serums, the chance for survival is more than 50 per cent better than it was ten years ago, he pays. The peculiar nature of pneumonia, little understood by the layman, precludes, however, any hope that a single serum will solve the problem. Science has found that the germs of the disease are often present in the mouth of a normal individual as a harmless part of the bacterial form, and the accepted theory Is that In a period of lowered resistance they penetrate the membranes of the. mouth and throat and thence find their way through the blood stream to the lungs. Serum Partially Effective But the problem of treatment is complicated by the fact that the pneumococci are of eleven distinct kinds. Type 1 is responsible for 33 per cent of pneumonia cases. Type II for 31 per cent, Type 111 for 12 per cent. The remaining 24 per cent of cases are attributed to eight different types of germs designted as Group IV. The two most effective serums so far evolved have succeeded in reducing the death rate from the Type I pneumococci by more than 50 per cent when injection is early in the course of the disease, and have also

proved effective to a, degree against Type 111. No effective serum for Type HI and Group IV cases has so far been found, but the proved success of the Felton and Huntoon serums is basis for a hope of early solution of the problem. The necessity for early treatment is stressed by tbe American Druggist writer. “The initial chill, the pain in the side or in the chest, the rapid rise of temperature, the cough, often with blood-stained sputum, are signs any one can recognize easily. The value of the present specific treatment lies largely in its early application.”
