Washington, March 19. ? Members of the Senate are be in;?
gassed daily ? not in the halls of Congress but in a clinic con
ducted by officers and civilian experts of the chemical warfare
service of the Army.
Chlorine, one of the mo.st
deadly of the gases employed
for destruction of liie durirg
war time, is the gas employed,
but its use in the clinic estab
lished in the Senate wing of the
capital is to relieve suffering
rather than to cause it.
Officers of the chemical warfare
service assigned to study means of
combatting deadly gases discovered
that chlorine was possessed of prop
erties which make it a restorative
and preservative of health as well an
a taker of life. Its uho Ir in destruc-J
tion of the germs which bring on ,
colds, croup, influenza and pneu-j
monia. Several of the Senator who i
have been treated in the clinic attest i
the value of the discovery.
One of those most outspoken in ,
praise of the t.iw treatment is Sen
ator Lawrence Phlpps of Colorado,
who declared today he had been '
greatly benefitted by the two treai-|
ments he had undergone in tliej
clinic. Others whose ailments have
yielded to the application of the ga3
are Senators IMttman of Nevada, Ov
erman of North Carolina, Reed of
Missouri and Uobinson of Arkansas.
Brigadier General Amos A. Fries,
chief of the chemical warfare ser
vice. declared today that had the
valuable properties of chlorine been
known dliring the great "flu" epi
demic of 1017-18, 20,000 lives of
soldiers stationed In training camps
in this country might have been
saved.
i ne original aiacovery or the cur- 1
ative properties of the gas was made
at Edgewood arHenal near Haiti-!
more. Although hundreds of the sol- j
dlers and civilians employed at the j
arsenal were stricken with the dia ;
ease, it was noted that their num
ber did not include a single person !
employed in the section handling,
chlorine. This fact wa? brought to j
the attention of General Fries, ami
as a result Col. H. L, Gilchrist and >
Lieut. Co. C. B. Vcdder, of the Armv.
Medical Corps were assigned to |
make tests with the gas as a destroy- j
er of disease germs. These experi- i
ments were carried on for nearly
Ave years. General Fries declares
that In the case of ordinary colds the
tests have shown a percentage of
72.4 of complete cures, while all but
three per cent of the remainder of
those treated showed decided bene
fits.
The proportion of chlorine which
is mixed with air in order to cure a
cold 1b about 100,000 parts of air to
one of the gas. The breathing of
this mixture for an hour, repeated
three times, according to General
Fries, will have the effect of steril-;
izlng the membranes of the nope,
throat and lungs and curing a cold.
The treatment, ho added, has been
found especially effective in cases of
whooping cough.
"With a machine which our ex
perts have perfected." he said,
"chlorine may be turned loose in a
room or auditorium with perfect
safety to the occupants and with
complete destruction of germs which
might cause an epidemic. Tlie very
places which have been found most !
dangerous in spreading disease, such
as public auditoriums, churches/
theaters, railroad and street cars nn>l
other public conveyances, can now be
made by the use of this machine,
places for effective treatment and
cure of disease."
