Washington. And perched up in a Manhattan sky- .'ucruper, in the headquarters or a vast organization which spreads it.i aiterics across the nation, is the man whose madness brought about this revolutionary progres in the ntudy of the mind's vagaries. Uhm Wire Snapped 'ifre crossed wires which sudden- ly (snapped out the light of his own rcaaon, having been straightened, became the mediums for carrying a modem message, over the world. The' mcso'age'wa, briefly, this: that tne insane man is a sick man, just 'jia . the 'man with pneumonia ia a 1 lck man; that prevention and cure should be applied to the psychic as well as the physical;' that measures ust-d to fight, bodily diesase should also be used to battle mental dis-eae. dis-eae. .

He was hustled away to a series of asylums and sanitariums. For three years. he was sent from one to another.. an-other.. During these years he had a dunce to see at first hand how montul diseases 'were handled. It wuhii t a pleasant commentary on a By DB. :iOUIUS FISIIBEIN Milor. Journal of the American !

Park tfnoi- tiircttor ot the bureau of a 4o t of the health dfepart-;nsnt dfepart-;nsnt of 'Now York City, there has been on "an average only 38 deaths ;or every 100,000 children. Indeed, in If 29. there were only 450 deaths altogether from diphtheria in New Yorl; City, Which brings the rate down to 25 out of every 100,000 children. chil-dren. ' Coincident with .the- -drop -, In deaths there has also been a drop In the number of cases. There Vyere about 15.000 eases of diphtheria in New -York City in 1898 and 8000 in lt29, notwithstanding the tremnd- j o js increase in population. : These results have been brought about by the systematic use of antitoxn arid oi' toxin-antitoxin in the Control of this disease. :, - ; Few people understandthe- dif .'re nee s between toxin, anti-toxhv and toxln-antltoKin: When a horse '.i injected with-rthe 'poison,' whicft 'iphtherla. parms develop, he deveV ops in his. blood a substances "which bpposes the poison of the diphtheria germ. The poison is called toxlr. v The.' materiel in the blood which opposes thAtfoison of diphtheria' is antitoxin. If a child does not have enough of this antitoxin in its blood to overcome diphtheria infection, time which prided itself on scientific scien-tific progress. " ' , When iie wss cured. Beers determined deter-mined to devote,, his life to doing something about . It., First he wrote a bookfhTttnTately narrating his experiences. ex-periences. Its'was called "A Mind That Folind Itself" and it created a sensation among the . men who were pioneering " Sn mental progress. pro-gress. Prof. William James, the eminent psychologist, read -the the physician gives it antitoxin to help it.- If a child has been exposed to diphtheria and . Jt 13 necessary very prbmptly to give it something to ward oft the disease, antitoxin maybe injected. i . Hawever, this antitoxin does not protect for a long period ibf time. It must be remembered that it has been elaborated in animals and not in the patlent'r body, and that therefore its. effects wear off in about three week. Of course, if & person has diphv.eria, the antitoxin anti-toxin when Injected helps 'to overcome over-come the disease and when the person per-son -tcbvers he has developed In his own body his own antitoxin, which Is one reason why no one seems tc have this disease twice. If one is injected with small doses of toxin ;or poison, he builds up resistance re-sistance to diphtheria in hi3 own body, Tf it is desireble to stimulate his resistance-building factor stlh more, it is necessary to give him larger doses bf toxin. However, such procedure would be unsafe. . Therefore it is customary custo-mary to add antitoxin to the toxin, which prevents it from working harm, btit ttoes : hot prevent the body from responding tv the injection injec-tion of the toxin by building up ( more resistance. - , . Few people realize the background back-ground of the way in V.'hich the body opposes disease. The process iSTcaTIed immunization. The terms Vaccination, inoculation, injection and similar terms refer, to the fact that the substance Is being put into the body in order that the bodj build the materials to oppose it.
