MALARIA REMEDY
, TREATMENT OP PARALYSIS LONDON, September 7. Induced malaria as a successful treatment of paralysis is revealed in a re- - cent report of Surgeon Roar-Admiral K. T. Meagher, covering experiments on a number of cases in English and Welsh hospitals. . ~ "The treatment of generaly jjaralysis, Ills report *‘ by induced' malaria offers more promise of success than, any other form of treatment! that has been given extended trial." The: treatment which includes either artificial malaria*. ifioCulation or exposure . to mnlarially infected mosquitoes, has been founds says. Dr. Meagher, to increase the length of life, to render ex--2- istence more natural; and to produce improvement in. the physical condition and the mental state, “‘The response in individual cases,” he states, '* varies from a negative re- . suit to apparent complete recovery." Over a period of five years 1597 cases have been treated in this manner. Of this number 3.9 per cent, died, 40.8 per cent, are still in hospital, and 95.3 per cent, were discharged, Five out of six of the discharged cases still retain life and liberty. ? .
