NEW TOXIN MAY REVOLUTIONIZE DIPHTHERIA WAR Single Injection Claimed Protection Against Infection. Ry Friend Fm irr MONTGOMERY. Ala , July 28 Protection against diphtheria now may be given to infants and ehil<iren with a single injection of toxoid, instead oi three. Dr. J. N. Baker. Alabama state heahh officer. Just has announced. The new protective toxoid is the result of years of research by the late Dr Leon C. Havens, for twelve years director of the state laboratories. The perfection of it was the last, piece of scientific work done by Dr. Havens, and is considered by fellow health officers a fitting monument to the man. The new- toxoid has been developed from the old toxoid, already widely used In diphtheria prevention work. Dr. Havens knew as did other scientists that when toxoid is treated with alum it forms a precipitate which is very slovly soluble. This precipitated toxoid is absorbed in the body much more slowly than oid style toxoid. Dr. Havens believed that this Approved by I'. S. would make it more effective, since none of it would be wasted by elimination from the body before it had time to do its job of developing immunity or resistance to diphtheria. Investigations proved that this was correct, and the use of the new toxoid has been approved by the United States National Institute of Health in Washington and the state public health committee. “The finding by Dr. Havens of an immunizing agent for protection against diphtheria as potent as the

present preparation will do much to revolutionize the campaign against diphtheria.'' Dr. Baker stated at a meeting here. “Formerly It required three Injections. a week apart, to secure adequate protection With this new product, one Injection will immunize S5 to 98 per cent of those susceptible.” Wider Are Results Dr Baker said furthr than with the reduction of the number of injections required, there will be possible a *nuch widr use of this new protection. Medical experts have found that 75 per rent of children of pre-school asr* are susceptible to diphtheria and it is in this group that most of the deaths occur. “It. is therefore of special importance that all children over 6 months of age be protected against diphtheria.” the health officer continued in his address before the meeting. With the new toxoid requiring only one injection instead of three, this Job of protecting all the school children of a city against diphtheria can be done much more quickly. DUCKY TIME. OLD EGG!

After hearing the defense, which involved neighborhood feuds and gossip. Geckler grimly remarked: "Scmebody Is doing a lot of lying in this case. I never heard so much contradictory evidence in my life.” He declared, however, that he believed there was 'some truth” in the case and launched into a warning to the parents against the slightest misconduct, placing them and their housekeeper. Miss Mary Jane Cross, on probation for one year. Joann was not present, having been sent to her grandmother's in

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

SAVANT’S FIND BLASTS THEORY ON TOOTH CARE Case of Indian Lad Shows Decay Due to White Man’s Food. I’.', Sri, nr? fjrrrice WASHINGTON. July 28—The experience of a South American Indian lad seems to contradict the modern theory that our teeth are bad because they do not get enough exercise from the soft foods we eat. This lad. Moi-i by name, had never had any trouble with his teeth, nor had he seen any signs of dental decay during the fifteen years he lived with his own people, the Makuzi Indians. His food during this period consisted of many -resit vegetables of different kinds, little meat, almost no salt and a good deal of hard cassava bread, which gave his teeth plenty of exercise, related Earl Hanson, who met Moi-i during the recent expedition of the Carnegie institution of Washington. Hanson's observations are reported in the current Issue of Science. At the age on 15 Moi-i was obliged to leave his people and go to work on the Brazilian national ranch in the cattle plains. Here he ate the

white men’s food consisting of aI great deal of meatsalmost all dried and salted; milk and cheese; almost, no vegetables, and a great deal of salt. After a year and a half, he i had tot go to the dentist for repair of the' ravages of a bad case of dental caries, or tooth decay. The interesting point. Hanson 1 comments, is that while Moi-i's teeth had plenty of exercise chew'ing his native hard cassava bread, they must have had much more exercise chewing the quantities of dried meat he ate later. “If exercise is the determining factor, his teeth should have improved instead of deteriorating," Hanson remarked. In the far east, frozen cream drinks were popular as long ago as the fifth century. B. C.
