NEW SERUM FOR WOUNDS
The "Matin" announces tlie discovery of a new "polyvalent" serum duo to the labours of MM. Leclainehe and Vallee, professors at. the veterinary collage at Alfort. By means of-this serum cases , which were regarded as : vliopeless Lave been cured in Paris, and particularly at the Buffon Hospital. According to a military surgeon, the results obtained are almost miraculous, and soldiers who. were horribly mutilated, and whose wounds were so infectod tliat their lives were dispaired of. have made rapid progress, and are now on their feet, anxious to know when they will bo allowed to rejoin their comrades in t!he firing line. At present not more than 2000 phials a day of tlio new serum can be made owing to the shortage in the staff. These 2000 phials a day are being distributed as rapidly as possible to the sanitary service. Up to the present it lias only been possible to use the "polyvalent" serum in the 'hospitals at the base._ When it can be applied as a preventive in the firing line, like the anti-tetanic serum, thousands of additional human lives will be saved.
