Discovery of .%nt4-Toxiu hy Two
Brooklyn Physician*.
From the New York Herald.
Two physicians of the Borough of
Brooklyn believe that they have made a
discovery which will enable them to cure
pneumonia ip its worst stages and revo
lutionize the treatment of the disease.
Dr. Charles Lundbeck, of No. 107 Bergen
street, and Dr. Carl Elfsirom. of State
street, are ihe physicians. They have
spent years in research and study in try
ing to find a cure for the dread disease.
Dr. Lundbeck, however, desires to be dis
tinctly understood that Dr. Elfstrom is
the real discoverer of this remedy w'hieh
has already been tried with success in
restoring patients to health, and that he
was associated with him in developing the
re medy.
Dr. Lundbeck and Dr. Elfstrom are
both natives of Sweden. I saw Dr. Lund
beck at his home in Bergen street l ist
night. “I wish you would say for Dr.
Elfstrom and myself,” he said, "that it is
not our intention to make this a money
making affair, and that we are seeking
no credit for the remedy. We will give
it freely to our professional brethren.
But at present the matter is only in the
experimental stage, or at least we with
it so understood, although we both have
faith in its success.”
"■We have already cured half a dozen
patients, but we would have liked to
have had more results before the matter
became known to the public. In such
cases too much is expected at the start,
and it makes a doctor fear that his po
sition is misunderstood. 1 will give you
as much information as I possibly can
on the subject now that it has beer.
made public.
“The remedy Is not exactly an antitox
ine, but something like it. The Idea is to
destroy one germ of disease by attacking
it with another germ, which will, as we
expect, be fatal to it. The method we use
is to secure from the patient what is like
an antitoxine. and this Is hyperdermically
injected, I wish I could be more specific,
but I cannot give the details in full just as
present.
"We have found that what is like anti
toxine musti be secured from the patient,
because the bacillus has greater or less
longevity in different patients and it re
quires different treatment in such cases.
Our method, to be as plain as possible, is
the introduction of one poison to offset
another poison. The cases we have treat
ed thus far show that our method is suc
cessful in introducing a poison that kills
the bacillus of pneumonia and eventually
restores the patient to health. 1 cannot,
of course, mention the names of any pa
tients, because that would be violating the
honor of the profession.
“I can say that we had one particular
ly delicate case to treat—that of a woman.
She not only had pneumonia in its worst
form, but also meningitis, and her kid
neys were affected. Her temperature was
104 when the treatment was begun. In
twenty-four hours it was down to 99, and
in a few hours later it was 98. She has
been restored to health. However, I wish
we had had time to treat more cases be
fore the matter was made public.
“We are about to begin treatment at the
hospitals, where there is a greater oppor
tunity to obtain results. Of course, you
know there never was a remedy for dis
ease which could show one hundred per
cent, results. Life is uncertain at any
time and under any conditions. We only
say that we bel'eve we have discovered and
developed a remedy in which we have the
fullest faith and which we hope will help
humanity. We will only be too glad to
give it to every physician, and we hope to
do so in a very short lime.”
Dr. Elfstrom. who is of a very retiring
disposition, told me that he shunned pub
licity .and would have rather gone without
receiving the slightest credit than have his
discovery made known at this time.
“It would be impossible for me at pres
ent,” he said, “to explain the method of
treatment. It is too early. I will tell all
in a very short time. I am not seeking
fame or money for the discovery. What
it will bring about in the way of curing
patients suffering from pneumonia will be
record enough for me.”
Dr. S. J. Byrne, of No. 333 State street,
who was present at the interview, agreed
with Dr. Elfstrom that the hospitals were
the best places to get good results from
the remedy. Dr. Byrne has had considera
ble hospital experience, and he paid the
help of trained nurses and constant obser
vation would aid the doctors in recording
accurately the results of the remedy.

Following the first call, the market ruled
nervous and reflected hesitation on both

New York. Feb. 14.—Rtordan & Cos. stjr
of octton to-day: The holiday of Saturday
was followed to-day by a quieter cotton
market, and a small less In values. The
Liverpool market was two sixty-fourths
higher on Saturday, but lost that advance
this morning. This rc|>ort was considered
rather discouraging, an.l prices here wore
3 to 6 points lower at the opening. May
selling on the first call at 6.06 c. At tile
decline there was a spirited speculative
demand, and notwithstanding free Liver
pool selling, prices advanced, May touch
ing 6.12 c. The buying power exhausted
itself in a short while, however, and the
market became quiet and gradually re
ceded io about the opening figures. May
closed at 6.07 c to 6.OSc, with the lone of
the market steady. Southern markets
were bullish. Receipts were enormous.
Some weakness in the stock market over
the Cuban situation helped the decline.
The sustaining influence must be, we
think, a continued big spot demand. With
out this prices should go lower.”
DRY' GOODS.
New York, Feb. 14.—The week opened
with trading of light character in both first
hands and jobbing markets in dry goods.
There was a fair sprinkling of buyers in
the'Vity, and these were in full force in the
dry goods district. But the newcomers
show as great discriminative ability as
have their predecessors In the market.
They continue to trade on a conservative
basis, taking only limited lots of goods
which they need to satisfy the demands of
their depleted stocks. Mail orders were
light again to-day and salesmen reported
that jobbers and retailers, although expe
riencing a fair trade in most sections were
slow to take hold of goods. The tone of
the market continued strong. Converters
were again the heaviest buyers. I’rint
cloths unchanged at 2 3-16 c.

New York, Fell. 14. —The Evening Post's
Ijondon financial cablegram says: "The
stock markets were quiet and easier to
day, but with an absence of business.
Americans opened good, especially Louis
ville and Nashville and Union Pacific,
but then gave w'ay on New York, selling
and finally closed fiat on reports of an
ultimatum from the United Siatcs * o
Spain. This was not generally believed,
and barring any such political news 1 must
still report a very feeble disposition in
financial quarters here, towards Ameri
cans. Many, indeed, are looking for a
real boom. The general tendency to buy
Louisville and Nashville was led by firms
which recently secured large profit in
trust operations. Spanish stocks were
steady. Gold has fallen sharply to T7s
9%d. v ,
New York. Feb. 14.—The weakness of
stocks was pronounced to-day and per
meated every department of the market.
The decline was quite uniform in the gen
eral list and a few of the highly specu
lative specialties broke severely. There
was little support in the way of buying
orders at any point, and prices went off
easily and rapidly. The market steadied
at intervals and rallied rather feebly, but
pronounced dullness followed every symp
toms of recovery.
Few of the active stocks have escaped a
not loss of a point or more, and many
prominent securities are over 2 points
lower. The higher prices a the opening
were caused by the confidence with which
prices of Americans had been sustained
on the London exchange during Satur
day's holiday in Ney' York, This confi
dence was still In evidence in London be
fore the opening here and the interna
tional (docks showed sharp advances in
sympathy, reaching nearly a point in the
ease of Union Pacific. These advance*
were of the most ephemerea) character,
some of them being almost wiped out In
the running sales at the opening. This
w’as particularly the case with Union Pa
cific stocks, ill which the reorganization
committee’s agreement with the govern,
mont over the Kansas Pacific sale seem
ed to bring realizing. The day’s move
ment in Metropolitan Street Railway cov
ered a range of 14% points, the slump from
the high point, to the lowest being contin
uous and very violent, the prices giving
way several points at a time. There was
a quick rally of 8% points, but the stock
fluctuated widely and closed with a net
loss of over 5 iiolnts. Third Avenue was
at one time 6% points aiiove last Friday’s
close, and though It reacted sharply in
sympathy with Metropolitan Street Rail
way, it retained a substantial gain.
.Much talk was heard of the Cuban ques
tion during the day, hut there was no
specific development that offered a new
motive for the selling. The bears took I
advantage of the over-bought condition
of the market and the rather long-sus
tained effort to support prices to make an
aggressive raid. The stock dislodged by
uncovered margins, Induced quite a heavy
liquklatlon. The bears had no difficulty
In covering at the decline without ■•■R.v
marked rally in prices. Special weakness
was shown by Northwest, ’ Kansas and
Texas preferred, New York Central and
Pullman. The Rubber stocks and Third
Avenue were practically the only promi
nent securities In the list to resist the
weakness.
The reactionary tendency in stocks af
fected the bond list throughout for the
first time since the recent advance was
