OLIVE OIL
DOCTORS’ RESEARCH SUCCESS.
[BY CABLE—I’BESS ASSN. —COPYBIGHT.]
LONDON, March 22
The “Morning Post” gives prominence to a discovery that has been made by an Australian, Doctor \. G. Walsh, and Doctor A. C. Fraser, at the St. Mary’s Hospital Medical School at London. It is understood that Doctor Walsh is at present on a visit home. The discovery is the result of six years of investigation. It concerns the use of an emulsified olive oil. Injections of this emulsion apparently have the power to absorb and to render harmless toxins that are produced In blood in acute bacterial diseases. It is stated that the doctors have been able, in twenty cases of lobar pneumonia, to shorten the duration of the hospital treatment by nearly half, and also to reduce the period of convalescence by even more than half. Encouraging results have also been obtained in cases of rheumatic fever, erysipelas, and septicaemia.
