Serum for cerebro spinal fever gains ground in 1900s research
A New Jersey physician sought serum to treat cerebro spinal fever, highlighting Flexner and Jobling's 442 cases with 67 percent recoveries and 83 percent mortality, reduced to 25 percent when treatment started after 24 hours. Early outbreaks saw nine of ten die, with four day treatment potentially lowering to 15 percent. The Rockefeller Institute work drew favorable notes at the British Medical Association. The piece links this to the U S outbreak of 1905 and NY state death increases.

The text notes a rise in deaths in 1905 to 2,566 and describes a feared illness spreading beyond scarlet fever and other diseases. Eastern cities faced alarm as the disease appeared more aggressive, while current treatments offered little relief. The earlier anxieties appear to have yielded later benefits.

The piece notes Representative Henry D. Clarion of Alabama opposing Democratic cooperation with Republicans to push a practical tariff bill and hopes for a countrywide 1910 tariff policy. It highlights plans around production dating for eggs, memorials for naval figures, and current events from Belgrade to China, framing broader political and social issues.
