Animals Spared. "Although potatoes and cabbages do not actually have chicken pox and scarlet fever, they have diseases which correspond to them to some extent. Hence plants can be and are used in place of rabbits, rats, guinea pigs, for years martyred in the cause of discovering sources of human disease?Dr. James Johnson, University of Wisconsin...
...physical culture." Macfadden's Manhattan sheetlet, The Graphic, ran "screamers" about "two persons known to be dead from tetanus following the injection of pus from diseased animals" in Baltimore. Health officials admitted the deaths from tetanus, then explained to the newspaper that the serum injected was not "cow-pox," but human smallpox, scientifically prepared in the glycerated lymph of calves.

If the doctors escape the disease after nine days confinement in a penthouse, it will prove that some persons are less susceptible to contagion than others. If they die of the plague, as seems quite likely, it will prove nothing. In neither case, will there be any great advancement of medical science. The contemplated experiment...
