Successful Experiments With

MEDICAL SCIENCE INTERESTED
Hope to Conquer the Most Deadly of
all Children's Diseases Danger In
Public Apathy and Ignorance
of Infectious Malady.
Manchester, England. Dr. Rudolf
Degkwlts announces In the Deutsche
Medlzlnlsche Wochenschrlft (an au
thoritative publication) that he has
succeeded in conferring immunity to
meusles by Injecting a serum prepared
from convalescent patients. '
"This may prove to be one of the
greatest epochs In preventive medi
cine," writes a medical correspondent
of the Manchester Guardian. "In his
last series of 1,700 cases Degkwlts
claims that all the contucts Inoculated
were completely Immunised or so pro
tected that the disease was developed
only In Its mildest form and there was
no untoward result
"If these results are confirmed and
the method can be effectively and gen
erally applied, the result should be an
even greater saving of life than has
accrued from Jenner's discovery of
vaccination.
Most Deadly of All.
"Measles, the most deadly of all
the diseases of childhood, continues
to be the least controllable of the
scourges which regularly affect our
people," the Guardian's correspond
ent says warnlngly. "With the pos
slblo exception of influenza there is
no form of epidemic disease in face
of which preventive medicine is so
helpless. The causes for this are
mainly two. In the first place the
disease Is not only highly Infective
but Its Infectlvlty Is highest before
the symptoms can be recognized. The
child which contracts measles has
three or four days In which to Infect
his family, his friends and his school
fellows before It Is known t'eflnltely
that he is suffering from measles at
all. The second cause is public apathy
and Ignorance of the dangerous nature
of the .complaint
"Half a century ago there appears
to have been some Justification lor
regarding measles as a trifling dis
order, something that every cMld must
'get over,' and the sooner the better.
Owing to the operation of the still
mysterious laws which govern changes
in type of disease, scarlet fever, which
was justly dreaded, has declined in
virulence and ceased to be one of the
major dangers of childhood : diphtheria
is also much milder In form and Its
dangers can almost be eliminated by

Recent Epidemic .
"The present writer can recall one
recent epidemic of measles in a Lan
cashire town which slew in six months
precisely the number of children that
trad succumbed to scarlet fever in ten
years. Yet it is still not an unknown
thing for a mother to put the other
children In bed with a case of measles
so that they may all 'get ever it to
gether,' and It Is the constant com
plaint of doctors that they are not

pneumonia and beyond all aid.
"Compare this apathy with the hor
ror of smallpox. Yet, before the In
troduction of vaccination, when small
pox was regurded as the national
plague, the death rate from this cause
averaged 420 per million. In 1015 the
death rate from meusles was 3D8 per
million. Neither the government nor

Tsach Chinese.
Chinese is taught by Doctor Lin in a
semi-popular way, much as the Euro
pean languages are taught It la com
paratively simple to obtain a slight
working knowledge of the language,
the students find. Tbe delight of writ
ing mysterious characters such as
those which grow on tea chests is
one of which the pupils never tire. In
time they expect to a certain extent
to read Chinese poetry and philosophy.
In the meantime they imbibe it from
Doctor Liu, who later is to arrange
special courses in Chinese poetry and
philosophy, with tbe aid of lecturers
from Columbia.
Doctor Liu believes that his work Is
valuable in promoting mutual under
standing between Chinese and Ameri
cans. He thinks each country can ob
tain of the other something of value
which It needs that China can get
practical business methods from Amer
ica and America can feel the quieting
Influence of Chinese philosophy.
In the meantime, tbe American stu
dents of Chinese are absorbing knowl
edge literally in a bamboo forest It
is something like . Shakespeare's
"tongues in trees, books in running
brooks." At the Bamboo Forest the
students read If they can make it out
Chinese poetry written on lacquered
tables, some of It by great. national
poets and other verses contributed by
Doctor Liu himself. Big decorative
Chinese characters signifying "happi
ness" or "wisdom" cover the walls or
the bamboo poles which form the forest
In Bamboo Forest
This forest is a Chinese tea garden
which, with American business vision,
Doctor Liu saw would have to pay
overhead charges while he was carry
ing on his chosen work and gathering
around him as applicants for Chinese
wisdom little coteries of interested
philosophers and friends. ; The tables
covered with Chinese characters were
all decorated by the head philosopher
himself.
The Bamboo Forest Is indoors in a
basement of the little old Macdougal
street house in winter, but In fair
weather extends to a more real bam
boo forest in the open at tbe rear.
Doctor Liu is a philosophic philoso
pher. He takes the American world as
he finds it and adopts its customs and
habits. He attended the recent ball
of the Independent Artists at the Wal
dorf dressed as a prince of the old
Tang period. But he danced American
dances with the rest of the American
world, an accomplishment he learned
while at Columbia.
The head philosopher of the Bamboo
Forest comes from a family of both
students and warriors. His father was
president of a Chinese college, and an
uncle, the famous Gen. Hwang Hslng,
led the republican forces in the revo
lution in China in 1012.
