Dr. George R. Carson announced at the Pacific coast railway surgeons meeting in San Francisco a new typhoid treatment using serum from convalescents. He said vaccination proved successful and urged pursuit of a curative agent to end the disease’s terror and prolonged fever.

The doctor reports that after injection fever rises then falls to normal by the next day. A second injection is given if fever rises after three or four days, with three or four injections sometimes needed. So far four cases used, early conclusions guarded, but serum seems to abort the disease and mildify severe cases with no local reaction at the injection site.
