New Serum Fails to Save Kansas City Biologist
Dr. Charles Salsberg, 67, veterinary biologist, died after equine encephalitis treatment failed. He had shown brief improvement yesterday but relapsed at night. Serums from his lab and rival Dr. Cahill of Indianapolis were ineffective as he remained allergic to horse blood. A new serum from 100 guinea pigs temporarily raised his temperature and he ate, but technicians labored without sleep to prepare more serum from 200 additional guinea pigs.
