CURE FOR INFLUENZA

CLAIMS FOR A SERUM

LONDON, Aug. 5. Two euros of influenza pneumonia by serum similar to that for immunising ferrets against influenza were claimed to-day by Dr. Ronald Hare, a London investigator. In telling how he treated two women, one of whom was dying, Dr. Haro said, “both eases reacted in a very dramatic fashion," and recovered. The serum was prepared from humans convalescing from influenza. Dr. Hare reported in the Lancet, British medical journal, that his first case, a woman of 27, was in a grave condition. After two injections of serum four hours apart, lie said, she began to improve. A third injection was made the following day. Thereafter her recovery was steady. In the second case also, Dr. Have 1 said, there was an uninterrupted recovery.
