SERUM FOR INFANTILE
PARALSIS IS FOUND
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 8 —The
University of California hospital an
nounced today that staff physicians
have collected with success the new
serum for the treatment of infantile
paralysis from patients who have re
covered from the disease. The serum
was developed in the East during the
recent epidemic of infantile paralysis.
Dr. William Palmer Lucas, professor
of children’s diseases in the Univer
sity of California hospital, said:
“We are now developing this serum
at the University of California hospi
tal. We hope to get enough to sup
ply any physician who applies for it.
The serum is secured from the blood
of. patients who have recovered. Any
time between three monthB and seven
years after their recovery their blood
can be used. The serum has value
only when used in the early stages of
the disease. I want to emphasize this
point."
Physicians whose infantile paraly
sis patients have recovered are co-op
erating with Dr. Lucas by sending
these patients to hint Dr. Lucas said
today’he would be glad to have volun
teers send him their names hnd ad
dresses if (hey are willing to assist
him in securing the serum.
Dance for the Children. ..
A dance for the children will be
given tomorrow (Friday) evening in

in this morning’s strong and active

“Hoo is it that ye quote the lowest
prices in the toon, and make reduc

.ye make sich enormous profits?” she
asked.
"Weel, it’s this way,” explained
the canny Scot in an undertone. "And

shillings a ton because a customer is
