Puerperal Fever Cured in London Hospital by Use 0f German Dye.

Feb, 19.birth robbed of its gravest for mothers, Maternal deaths from the most dangerous form of dreaded puerperal fever prevented in 17 out of 20 cases Medical science is on the brink of these life-saving achievements if present hopes are justified. Four out of five mothers who now die of “childbed fever” can be saved by a new treatment used at Queen Charlotte's Hospital, London, where about hali the puerperal fever cases in the English metropolis are treated. Dr. Leonard Colebrook, director of the Bernhard Baron Memorial Laboratories at the hospital, now visiting in this country, is relating the results obtained to American medical scientists. Oliver Wendell Holmes and Ignaz Philip Semmelweis long ago demonstrated that the infection of childbed fever came from the dirty instruments and hands of the doctors and nurses. Antiseptics, and later asepsis, killed these germs. The work of Dr. Colebrook and his colleagues at Queen Charlotte's Hospital makes bringing children into the world even safer.

Glory Goes to Germans

Dr. Colebrook modestly insists that he is not the hero. That glory belongs, he savs, to two German chamists, Mietzech and Klarer, who first prepared a certain red dye, and to Dr. G. Domagk, also a German, who first showed that this dye was able to protect mice infected with

Other germs besides streptococel may cause the condition, but fuily onehalf the cases, and those the ones most often ending in death, are due to a particular streptococcus identified by scientists as Beta hemolytic streptococcus This deadly germ takes the lives of 1200 mothers in childbirth every vear in England and Wales, approximately 4000 in the United States, and inflicts serious illness and suffering on five times as many mothers, often at the birth of their first child For five vears before the discovery
