Let Our Mo Ho Be
GOOD HEALTH

BOILS /
——
The other day a young man of my
acquaintance, relating a past ex
perience, said, "I
Ewas seventeen,
and In love with
Being seventeen,
puppy love, was
old story, prob
ably as old as
love Itself. Certainly long before the
days of Job people suffered from
boils, and they have been suffering
ever since. Just about every per
son some tlmb in his life is afflict
ed with one of these "pus-sy devil
spots of pain," as a writer fittingly
described them.
And, unless exceptional care is
used, one boil is apt to breed an
other, and sometimes the boil keeps
on, working the same place over and
over, again, until it develops into a
carbuncle.
In various occupations, too, boils
are apt to be a hazard. Cleaners and
dyers using benzine compounds and
workmen engaged In metal grind
ing factories employing heavy oils,
are frequent sufferers from bolls.
Common boils are caused by a
ball-shaped germ called staphylococ
cus. This germ gets Into the skin
by following down a hair follicle.
Then pus develops at the place
where the germ grows lb the skin
and there Is the resulting throbbing
pain. Bolls usually occur on the
back of the neck or under the wrist
band, or around waist. A bit
of dirt with the germ on it, be
comes Imbedded in the hair follicle,
then the rubbing of the garment
chafes It, and the boil germ has a
fine place to grow.
Throughout the ages many kinds
of poultices and remedies have been
applied to boils, but without much
success. Then some sixteen or sev
enteen years ago. a French scientist,
D'Herrelle, Invented a ferment-like
substance that dissolves bacteria as
ferments dissolve a starch granule.
When bacteria are dissolved by this
ferment-like agent, they are de
stroyed and all the materials inside
the germ cells are liberated and es
cape tnto the solution In which the
bacteria are suspended.
The writer of this article has been
Interested in the study of the skin
for many years. t When this new
bacteriophage was made known, it
occurred to me that If we could de
velop a bacteriophage that would
eat the staphylococcus or boll germ,
we might secure a quick cure for
this troublesome Inflammation. My
assistants in the laboratory and I
experimented for a long time, and
finally In 1923 we succeeded In find
ing a dissolving substance for boll
germs. With this substance we
could prepare a new vaccine for the
prevention and cure of bolls.
If you are Interested In how such
things are done, the vaccine Is made
by growing the boil germs and then
adding a small amount of the fer
ment-Uke substance to the culture.
After this has been Incubated for
several hours, the boll germs are
dissolved, and the vaccine Is ready
to be applied to the surface of a
young boll. The vaccine Is not de
natured In any physical or chem
ical way, as neither heat Is applied'
nor are chemicals added. We have
named It staphylococcus bacterio
phage, or, translated Into everyday
language, the boll-germ eater, or
boll vaccine.
The vaccine is applied by simply
putting a few drops on a piece of
gauze and placing the wet dressing
over the surface of the boiL The
pain stops within a few minutes and
the boil itself disappears within one
to two days.
The treatment Is not so successful
when applied to boils and carbun
cles of long standing. It yields the
best results when It Is used on a
new boll that Is Just developing.
Then It Is quick and sure. By us
ing it at once, workers In the occu
pations already referred to, ath
letes, and all other? who are apt
to get grime rubbed Into their skin,
can be spared many hours of pain
and "sitting around the house do
ing nothing."
Staphylococcus bacteriophage Is
made by several commercial firms
and can be supplied by any physi
cian at not a great deal of cost We
are now experimenting In the re
search at the University
of Illinois to see If this vaccine will
be of help In preventing typhoid fe
ver.
Unfortunately this bacteriophage
will not stop bolls from developing
in persons suffering from diabetes,
varicose veins and other such debili
tating diseases. The reason these
persons get bolls Is because, due to
their physical condition, their bod
ies cannot throw off a boll infec
tion, once It takes root In a hair
follicle—boll germs are always pres
ent on every one's skin. These per
sons should never "doctor" them
selves; they should always consult
a physician.
