Chicago physician achieves some
amazing results by treating patient
with patient's own blood which
has been made into a vaccine
IIYSICIANS and surgeons from tlio
Ffour corners of the globe have ex
perimented with cats, dogs nnd
monkeys to find n serum for ap
pendicitis, Infantile, paralysis, dlph
iherln and wlinr not. Tlnf dm intnut
serum Is the "Lnzy Serum," which
has hecn demonstnited to have
splendid and efficient nctlon on
liotli hody nnd mind.
This Is the discovery of Dr. L.
D. Rogers, formerly surgeon nt
Cook County hospital, Chicago. 20 years senior pro
fessor of surgery In the National Emergency hos
pital, nnd first president of the American Cancer
Research society.
Technically this new treatment is known as auto-'
hotnlc therapy, which means treating your blood
with your own blood. Tho process first becamo
generally known last year, when Doctor Rogers
rend n paper before the Chicago Socloty of Med
ical Ilesoarch. Lie reported to the society the
results of his six years of observations treating
patients with n serum mado with their own blood
ns a base.. Tho doctor trented all classes of pa
tients whoso troubles were apparently duo to
faulty blood and his results In general were de
clared to be remarkable. In tho ten months thnt
Imvo elapsed since tho nutohemlc treatment wns
mado public tho serum has become recognized as
n dltfiWtwy ns Important as the achievement of
Dr. Alexis Carroll, who was the first to transplant
human organs.
Autonomic therapy Is especially remarkable be
cause of Its simplicity. Briefly, Doctor Rogers'
treatment consists In tnklng flvo-drops of blood,
or some multiple of five, from n vein and putting
It Into 10 UmeB as much sterilized, distilled water.
After Incubating It nt fever heat for 24 hours, fur
ther dilutions arc mndo according to tho needs of
tho patient, which enn bo determined only by u
phynlclnn skilled In Its use. When rendy for In
jecting, tho serum Is colorless, odorless and taste
lens. Doctor Rogers 1b also nuthorlty for tho
statement that ho has not been nblo to find nny
physiological chemist sufllclently 'skilled to de
termine Its contents.
Twenty to thirty drops of tho serum .or solution
thus prepared aro Injected Into n vein or under
tho skin. It may also bo given by mouth, hut not
with as certain results.
There seems to bo no limit to tho number of
diseases nnd complnlnts for which this now treat
ment Is beneficial. It Ib easier to enumerate thoso
conditions for which It Is not applicable. Troubles
mechanical, organic, or of ncute bncterlologlcnl
origin, and thoso clenrly recognized ns Incurable,
are not expected to ho benefited by It, although a
few of these appear t"o yield.
Tho solution has been termed tho "Antllnzy
Serum" becniiRO It primarily has tho energizing
qualities that do away with nervous fatigue, while
greatly Increasing physical and mentnl endurance.
t To Illustrate: Tho fourth day nfter treatment
n woman walked ten miles nnd wns not ns tired nB
alio hnd been previously nfter walking only half n
mile.
Another caso In point was that of a man 'gener
ally conceded to bo the laziest person In his com
munity. He drank about 20 "whiskies" n day, but
nfter tho administration of tho serum ho began
to do regulnr hard manunl labor. This wan nbout
tho" first rcnl work he had done for six years.
JJIs rheumatic pains left him, he needed a cano
no longer, his appetlto returned, Insomnia was re
placed by sound, refreshing sleep, his weight In
creased flvo pounds and his general nppearanco
changed from thnt of a "hum" to thnt of a clean,
wholesome, bright nnd honest workman. Previous
ly, too, ho hnd suffered from loss of memory, but
nfter taking tho serum he could recall tho names
of ninny old acquaintances whom ho could not
remember before taking the trentmcnt.
Most remarkable results havo been obtained
when the serum was administered to expectnnt
mothers, and It Is In this field thnt Doctor Rogers
cxpectB tho grentest good to be accomplished
through the nutohemlc treatment. It Is his bollof
that If the trentment comes Into general use tho
birth of physical and mentnl defectives will bo
reduced 00 per cent, and Infant mortality from
congenital weakness, the greatest causo of doath
nmong children, will be wiped out.
Although Doctor Rogers nnd his associates have
treated n large number of expectnnt mothers will?
the now serum there hns yet to be reported n case
In which relief was not obtnlned from those,
troublesome complnlnts so common during this
period. Furthermore. In n series of eases of
mothers who had previously borne children, tho
average duration of suffering with the birth of tho
serum baby was three hours, while with the for
mer children without serum the averago wns 11
hours. Sllll more wonderful and more Important
Is the fact thnt children whose mothers hnd treat
ment n few months before their birth aro stronger,
nnd healthier, mentnlly and physically, than other
children of the same family who did not hnvo tho
henefit of this nutohemlc thorapy. There hns not
been reported n death among the. "serum" babies,
Although some nro iiojv flvo years old.
It wns while spending tho winter of 1000-10 In
I'urfB and London that Doctor Rogers became In-
C -rr--. ' i ARMS? xBCVJ
forested in the study of cancer. He gave n great
deal of his time watching some of England's fa
mous physicians hard at work In the Imperial
Cancer Ilesoarch laboratory, tho Middlesex Hos
pital Cancer laboratory, and the laboratory pre
sided over by Sir A. 10. Wright, who originated
the Idea of vaccination ngalnst typhoid. lie vlslteu
the Pasteur Institute In Paris, and there saw
monkeys Inoculated with the products ,of Infantllo
paralysis. Naturally he became greatly enthused
over tho possibilities of serum treatment, and ho
came home with tho determination to make an
attempt to discover a serum to cure cancer, dia
betes, goiter and pernicious anemia, the most dif
ficult chronic disease to fight. He has been suc
cessful In fronting some remarkable cases of
goiter without resorting to an operation. Many
cures of diabetes have been, reported, and encour
aging results have been obtained In pernicious
anemia.
Doctor Rogers' treatment of tho blood seems to
bring out remarkable energizing qualities. Just as
tho latent? energy residing In wnter may bo con
verted by application of bent Into an expansive
vapor, steam, having a force capable of driving
great engines and draw long, heavy freight trains,
and Just us tho latest energy residing In gasolino
may he transformed by Infinitesimal sparks Into
an cxpansivo gas having a force capable of pro
pelling automobiles, airplanes nnd submarines nt
a wonderful speed, so the latent .energy In the
blood seems by tho Injection of n few drops of tho
new sorum directly Into tho veins, tojbo converted
Into "antibodies" which mnnlfqst their power and
activity In a thousand ways, nnd In an amount out
of all proportion to the tiny spark of substance
that Inaugurated their activity or set them on fire.
An Interesting fact about this scrum Is thnt It
cannot bo mado by 'the wholesale and sold ns n
patent medicine, because tho pntlent's own blood
must bo used In making It, It Is created on tho
bnslc principle that "llko cures like," nnd tho
serum must bo prepnrcd Individually for every
patient.
In acufe bacterial diseases It Is now considered
good practlco tho world over to secure when
possible soino of tho germs causing tho disease,
nnd then Inject them, nfter being killed by heat and
suspended In a solution, Into tho patient whoso
stckncBS they caused. Doctor Rogers affirms thnt
when ho uses us n basis for his serum the blood
of a patient suffering from n chronic complnlut he
undoubtedly collects some of thoso Imperfect cells
which nro causing tho disease.
The merits of this new treatment havo been verl-
fled by many progressive physicians In various
parts of the United Stntcs, some of whom have
acquired a practical knowledge of the system bj
attending medical conventions In Knnsas City, St.
Louis, Chicago, St. Paul and New York, where
Doctor Rogers demonstrated and explained his
method. Others have become competent In using
the method by visiting Doctor Jlogers nnd tnklng
a personnl course of Instruction under him. Some
Idea as to how this method is being received by
the profession may be Inferred from the fact that
within two minutes after completing ids demon
stration before tho annual convention of tho Amer
ican Association of Progressive Medicine at Kan
sas City, Doctor Rogers was unanimously electee"
president of that society.
Perhaps the most remarkable Instance of n cure
yet obtained by means of uutohtfnlc therapy was
the case of a trained nurse, whoso trouble wns
diagnosed as Hodgkln's disease, generally consid
ered Incurable. During tho three and a half years
preceding her visit to Doctor Rice, a physician
whom Doctor Rogers had Instructed In nutohemlc
therapy, the patient hnd had five operations, one
for appendicitis, one In which the stomach was re
sected, arid three for rcmovnl of glands. She had
lost 25 pounds from her normal weight nnd could
neither cnt nor sleep sufllclently to keep up
After the first autonomic trentment on October 1
1010. her condition began to Improve so rapidly
as to astonish even Doctor Rogers himself. A
second treatment wns given n week later, nnd at
the end of tho third week she seemed so perfectly
well that trentment wns discontinued. After nn
Intervnl, however, of six weeks, there were some
Indications of the return of tho enlnrgement of
the glnnds. Four other trentments n week npart
wcro given, nnd since thnt time there hns been no
troublo of nny sort. The pntlent regnlned nil hoi
weight, nnd Is todny tho picture of health.
In speaking of nutohemlc therapy, n prominent
New York physlclnn snld: "We all have known
the therapeutic value of blood nfter developing
cerlnln nntltoxlns, All our artificial scrums are
products of blood serum. Modern medical science
would-bo unthinkable without this weapon to fight
tho mnnlfold dlsenses to which human flesh is heir.
"With all this knowledge, does It not seem
strange that only now In tho yenr 1010 tho curative
value of our own blood for our own blood for our
own Ills hns Just been discovered, or, speaking
more accurately, been brought to our attention'
Mnny of us nro no doubt llko n certnln grent
scientist who, when this new discovery, nutohemlc
therapy, wns brought to his nttentlon, snld: 'This
Is absolutely scientific. For n long tlmo I hnve
known tho facts upon which It Is bnsed, but 1
never thought of thejr practical application.'
"Doctor Rogers' discovery Is not only a revela
tion, but a revolution, ln( tho method of treating
a large percentage or tne ins or numnnity., xne
applicability of this treatment seems to be co
extensive with the function of the blood, nnd Is
capable, therefore, of acting upon disease In nny
part of the body In which the blood circulates, no
mnttor In whnt form the complaint mnnlfesta
Itsolf, nor whnt nnmo we gtvo to It."
I AMERICAN ADVENTURER IS GREAT DISCOVERER I
Ono of tho grent Amerlcnn ndventurcrs died re
cently. Ho was Col. Charles Challlo-Long, and his
death received tho same scant ndtlce that had been
awarded so tunny of his nchlovements during his
lifetime. Soldier, uuthor, dlplomntlst nnd explorer,
ho lived his sovcnty-tlvo yenrs ns thoroughly ns
nny mnn of his time. Ho know four continents
and ho solved a rlddlo that had puzzled mankind
for many years tho source of tho Nile river.
As n youth, Challle-Long fought with distinction
In the Civil war, says the Kansas City Times. Ho
entured ns n prlvnto hnd enmo out n Heutennnt
colonel. Then ho figured In a chnpter of our his
tory thnt Is little known to tho present generation
our military mission to Egypt. Khedlvo Ismail
wanted to reorganize his unity and ho wanted tho
work done by men who would bo free from the '
petty Interests nnd Intrigues of tho various Euro
pean countries, all of which were Interested In
northern Africa. The khedlvo obtained tho co-operation
of tSonornl Sherman, and In 1800 ten Amer
ican oillcers half of them Federals and half for
mer Confederate commanders wore sent to Egypt.
Challle-Long wns ono of tho party, nnd be becamo
the widest known for his work In Africa. Some
of the others of tho party wero Generals Lorlng,
Llbby nnd Stone, and Majors Morgan and Kennon.
Found Lake Ibrahim.
Challle-Long enmo under tho Influence of the
famous "Chlneso" Gordon, then campaigning In tho
Sudan. He and Gordon designed tho fortifications
of Tol-el-Kcblr for the dofenso of Cairo, nnd Gor
don. Induced the American to explore the upper
Nile. In two shallops constructed of tough bark
Chullle-Long and two companions continued along
the river until they found Luko Ibrahim, now
known nt Lake Choga. They found tho bosom of
tho lake radiant with the great lotus, whoso leavos
nro strong enough to support the. body of n child.
Tho party discovered that tho river lstmlng from
tho Victorln Nyunza Is tho Nile, thus settling a
question that long had troubled geographers.
On this trip Challlo-Long and hit tw, compan
i Ions, both Egyptian otllcors, were attacked by n
u forco of several hundred natives. The explorers
carried sheet-Iron traveling cases, and barricaded
AUTHORITY ON ARMY'S HEALTH
When statistics nro extreme
enough one way or the other, they nre
cnpnble of rcnssurlng or disturbing
the most unmnthemntlcal of persons.
A striking illustration of that Is found
In the official figures showing the cas
ualties of Canadian troops since tho
beginning of the wnr, which hnve re
cently been the subject of comment by
Surgeon General Gorgas. Tho total
of wounded, missing, and dead from
all causes Is 80,843, but the whole num
ber of deaths from sickness In camp
and trench hns been only 40 ofllcers
and 1,101 men, or 1,240 nil told. On
the other hand, 10,320 ofllcers nnd men
hnvo been killed In nctlon, nnd 5,242
have died of wounds, making n total
of 20,871 deaths duo to gunfire. To
that sunt should be added 1,510 of
"those presumed to be dead," making
the deaths from all causes 23,030.
In other words, the deaths from
sickness constitute less than 5.3 per
cent of nil the deaths and less than 1 tfer cent of all the casualties. Inns-
much as tho sickness risk of nn army begins with tho first gathering together
of men In their enrllest training enmps, It Is n fair thing to consider one moro
percentage of these casualty totals that Is, the proportion which the total
deaths from sickness bear to tho total number of those enlisted In Canada.
This totnl of enlistment for the Dominion is npproximntely 500,000 men. So
ono nrrlves nt the most reassuring conclusion thnt only 1 out of every 411
soldiers hap succumbed to sickness In the course of nearly three years of
camp nnd trench life combined.
BANKER EXPLAINS WAR FINANCE
In the opinion of Frank A. Vander-
llp, president of the National City
bank, the government's Initial wnr lonn
of $2,000,000,000 and subsequent loans
will In tho main be floated through the
expansion of bank credit. Mr. Vander
llp says he Is confident the total issue
will bo subscribed when tho people are
once aroused to the dangers that
would confront the nation If they
should fnll to do their duty by tho
government, to give their fullest flnnn-
clrtl support needed to curry on tho
wnr of democracy ngalnst .Prussian
militarism.
"No one with nny experience with
security mnrkets or with nny knowl
edge of the economics of Investment
hns predicted that this loan would be
oversubscribed within a week," replied
Mr. Vonderllp. "There should be
some education In discussing this sub
ject as to what $2,000,000,000 means.
People are apt to think of these bonds
as of other ordinary Issues and to assume that It would be possible to sub
scribe for this issue or, Indeed, to subscribe for it several times over out of
n fund thnt Is nwnltlng investment. This war must bo financed, not out of
the past savings, but out of future savings. Future savings for the moment
nre not nvnllable, and some other device must, therefore, be brought into
piny. Thnt device Is bnnk credit, nnd this lonn nnd subsequent loans will in
tho main be floated through an expansion of bank credit."
SCIENTIST MAKES PATRIOTIC OFFER
in these they stood off tho attacking force for
hours, killing moro than 80 natives.
Chnllle-Long led several expeditions Into Africa,
conquering tho NIam-NIam country nnd nddlng It
to Egypt, nnd exploring a long stretch of tho East
const of Africa that hitherto had been unknown
to civilization.
Called Back to Egypt.
Ills health falling under the Incessant hardships
to which ho had been subjected, Challle-Long came
back to this country lnN1877 and studied law. Ho
became an authority on International law, after
ward teaching for a tlmo In Paris, But at tho time
of tho Sudanese uprising In 1881 he was besought
by the American government to go buck to Egypt
nnd tnke charge of the consulate at Alexandria,
from which all the other Americans hnd fled. He
saved hundreds of lives during thoso troublous
tlmos, the consulato being made i rofttgo for all
nationalities.
In 1887 Cleveland appointed Challle-Long con
sul general and secretary of the legation In Corea,
The man's restless energy again manifested itself
In exploration nnd he made an overland trip to
Seoul, discovering on the way the source 'of tho
Han river. Egypt called him again In 1800 and he
spent eight years thore, writing nnd exploring.
Tho honors thnt had been tardy In their coming
began to ho showered upon Ulm then. Great Brit
ain finally recognized his share in the uncovering
of the secrets of the Nile and gave him equal rank
with Spoke and Baker. The Amerlcnn Geograph
ical society gave him a gold medal, and he was
mado secretary for tho Universal Postal congress
at Washington ami lator secretary to the United
Stntos commission at the Paris exposition, 1000.
Challlo-Long wrote a number of books dealing
with tho lands ho had explored. They aro standard
works upon the little-known regions of tho world,
hut they brought him little revenue. Though hnlf
a dozen nations honored him with medals nnd ti
tles, ho died ii comparatively poor man. Ills only
reward of any consequence wns tho tribute paid
hint by "Chinese" Gordon, another of the great ad
venturers: "This man desorvos to rank with Uw
world's chief dlseovarers."
President Richard Cockburn Mac
Laurln offered to the government the
services of the Massachusetts Institute
of Technology the moment it was an
nounced thnt President Wilson had
terminated relations with Germany.
This mennt the services of the entire
instructing stnft nnd of all the labora
tories, and they are offered with thnt
highest efllclcncy of service which can
bo given only by an unbroken corps of
trained men In lnborntorles of tho
highest standard with whose every de
tail they nro thoroughly fnmlllnr. This
Is preparedness of the most Important
kind, for wnr Is quite as much n strug
gle of skilled engineers ns It Is of
soldiers.
President MncLnurln wns born In
Edinburgh, educnted nt Cnmbrldge uni
versity, Englnnd ; beenme n trustee nnd
a denn of tho University of New Zea
Innd, nnd in New York, bend of tho
depnrtment of mnthemntlcs nnd then
of physics nt Columbia. In November, 1008, he wns called to Boston to bo
president of the M. I. T. He Is n doctor of laws ns well as doctor of science.
nnd hns studied the problems of education in Canada before going to New
Zeuluud.
MAY PROVE RUSSIA'S "STRONG MAN"
, A. F. Kerensky, minister of Justlco
in Russia's revolutionary cabinet, nnd
one of the socialist members of thnt
body, has warned his countrymen that
as affairs are going now It will be im
possible to effect tho. salvutlon of
Russia.
"For our faith In liberty we braved
n grent dnttger," ho snld In a speech to
tho congress of deputies from troops
nt the front, "but we drank of liberty
until lntoxlcnted, when we most needed
sobriety end discipline.
"I hnvo lost my dnrlng, my fnlth
thnt we are not mutinied slaves In
stead of conscientious citizens creat
ing n now state. Sometimes I regret
I did not die when I had fnlth thnt
Russians could govern themselves
without need of tho knout."
If Korensky proves to be tho mnn
for the times, Russia will not only be
saved nnd lLi army rehabilitated, but
tho Invasion of Austria will begin long
before Austria la prepared to meet It, nnd the full drlvo of Russia nnd Italy
will sweep the Austrlans out of the reckoning. There Is nothing impossible
in this. All that Is needed Is that the Iron hand of n truo pntrlot who Is
liberal but will ndmlt no license shall bo set for freedom.
If tho virile Kerensky can keop tho nation together and tho Inspiration
of tho nrmy shall bo progressive until the Amorlcnn commission can co
oporatc, tho might of the American dollars and tho quickening of American
Idealism and co-operation for Russia will conclude the cementing process'
for tho nation.
