'FLU SERUM.
British War Office Testing Discoveries. ADOPTION IN LONDON. LONDON, August 25. The "Weekly Dispatch" says the War Office is testing a new influenza preventive discovered by Professor Besredka, an expert in tropical fevers and vaccines. It contains a neutral beef blood serum which stimulates the natural resistance to infection, also serum organisms which infect the broncho respiratory tract. The Swiss Army already has tested the preparation, which is swallowed, not inoculated. It is claimed that influenza cases have been diminished 80 per cent. One of London's largest banks and several big business houses have decided to provide their employees with the scrum.
