It may be reraembered that three French doctors, MM. Sapellier, The- abault and Broca, announced SWIM montbe ago with a considerable flour- isb al trumpets, that they had dise verecl a certain cure for drunken - nese, in the shape of a serum ob- t teined from the blood, of a horse that lied been kept for a contiderable time in a state of intoxication. The doctors affirmed that habitual ine- briates,' when inoculeted with their wonder-working "vaceine." at once conceived an abiding horror of strong drink. A discreet silence has since been maintained as to the vesults yielded by the new remedy, for the excellent reason, as it would now. seem, that its vaunted effieacy has been proved in practice to be a myth. Such, at any rate, is the opinion expressed in an interesting paper read at the last sitting of the French Aca- demy of Medicine. The author of the paper, Dr. Crevally, is an Australian. His, experiments, in which he was as- sisted by Dr. Rougler, at the head of the. Sydney Institute of Bacterio- logy, have been conducted on much the same lines as those of the French doctors, but they were begun over two years ago, so that Dr, Crevally was necessarily ignorant of the la- bors of his Paris colleague.s. Dr. Orevally obtained his serura from a calf which, in the same way as the horse of the Frenchmen, had been subjected to a long -course of en- forced drunkenness. . At the outset Dr. Crevally was tempted to believe that he was on the right track. Af- ter two or three injeotions of his se- rum the most inveterate topers were dieposed to foreswear their tippling Unhappily: they only perse- vered in this excellent resolve for a few days. Within a week their ab- horrence of the bottle had disappear- ed and they were drinking with the fresh zest tbat comes of temporary privation. After careful inVestiga- Lion, Dr. Crevally found himself forced to admit that the passing efficacy of his serum was solely due to the action of the imagination a his patients, who were under the influetice of "au- to -suggestion," a phenoenerfon well 5.
