30 THE LOCOMOTIVE. [February, jured, are shown in such a manner as to facilitate comparison. We see, from the last line of this table, that on an average 1.37 persons are killed per explosion, and 1.93 are injured. That is, 3.30 persons are disabled, on an average, by every boiler explosion.

1893] THE LOCOMOTIVE. 31 covcry, aiul the subseqiieiit disappoiiitincnt engendered by its apparent failure to satisfy the sanguine expectations of the medical profession, and of the unfortunate victims of this awful malady, the public has heard little or nothing of the vaunted cure. But in these two years physicians have not been idle, and everywhere the lymph has been tried and tested over and over again in every species of disease of the human organism to which the tubercular microbe gives rise, in lungs, larynx, brain, bones, joints, skin, and alimentary canal, and an enormous number of patients have Ijcen submitted to the influ- ence of lymph injection; in the cases of a majority without much success, but in a few with undoubted advantage. Yet, certain modifications were made not long ago in the original lymph which seem to have improved its remedial power while lessening its occasionally deleterious efTccts upon the organism. As will be remembered, the original lymph when injected into the body of a tubercular patient caused malaise and fever. An English physician named Hunter, and a German pathologist named Klebs, have each independently anal- yzed the Koch lymph and eliminated from it substances which seemed to be foreign to the true remedial principle, and have for some time been using in hospitals and in their practice, the active ingredient of the lymph, to which Klebs has given the name tuberculocidin. It was the foreign and unnecessary elements of the lymph which gave origin to the fever and other disagreeable symptoms. Tuberculocidin is an albumose which Hunter thinks is derived from the plasma of the bacilli themselves. Klebs also consid- ers it a secretion of the germs. In experiments upon animals, fully developed tubercles were found to be entirely reduced by tuberculocidin, while in man, over eighteen per cent, of seventy-five cases of marked pulmonary tuberculosis treated by Klebs were cured. <strong>The</strong> purified lymph causes no fever, and treatment with it does not interfere with the daily occupation of the patient. Tuberculocidin has been for some time in the hands of the medical profession, and is, therefore, within the reach of every one who applies to his family physician for treatment with it, although none of the usual precau- tions as regards diet, change of climate, hydrotherapy, and the employment of other drugs found to be valuable in consumption, are neglected by him. Thus it seems that considerable progress has been made in the lines laid down by Robert Koch in his original announcement, and the great German bacteriologist will deserve the blessings of all mankind, even should his discovery result only in the amelio- ration of some cases, and a small percentage of cures in others. It was a splendid and beneficent gift to humanity, of which the end is not yet, for, undoubtedly, there will be still greater perfection in the mode of treatment of tuberculosis by the purified lymph. At the same time it must not be forgotten, that while the cure of a disease is a triumph for the medical profession, there are limitations that never can be overcome, and the prevention of disease is of far greater importance to humanity than the mere repair of an injured organism. It is to be hoped, therefore, that the public will become thor- oughlj- educated in all of the arts of prevention, and that particularly as regards tuberculosis, all will be cautious in their selection of milk, careful in the disinfection or destruction of the excretions of consumptive patients, wise in the bringing up of weak- lunged children, and, indeed, observant of all regulations which the family medical au- tocrat may prescribe for the government of his patrons.— New York Sun.
