THE POISON OF FATIGUE,

A Singular Theory,

That tired man in zosily poisoned by the negatoulated waste products of his own muscular activity is a theory that is non familiar and has been widely accepted by physiologists. Much of the recent pro- | gress in explaining this condition in duo to German investigator, Weichardt, who maintains that the product responsible for the trouble is a definite toxin akin, for ex- simple, to that which produces diphtheris. If this is so, there most bo a corresponding antitoxin that will counternah its effectas and it should also bo possible to become immane to it. In fact, this is exactly the condition of an athlete in "training," ju Weichardt's view. Says an editorial writer in The Medical Record (New York, June 9) "Among the most puzzling problems with which physiology has had to deal has been the question of muscle fatigne. It has long been assumed that during this process of 1498 diminishing irritability which we know ar

Fatigue, substances are, produced which exert a poisonous influence upon the muscle tissus, This opinion is based upon the fact that a tired mandle can be restored almost completely by being fushed out, through its own vessels, with salt solution; and that fatigue can be rapidly produced in s normal muscle by injecjon into it of the extractives obtained from macles already. fatigued. Exactly what there toxio subs tanese were was not known, bat it was

supposed that they were defioite products of metabolism; and sarcolacde, seid, cres tin, crestinin, with various other proteid dorfratiros, have been held responsible.

This was, rudely stated, the position taken by physiologista until 1904, when Welchardt came forward with a startling bypothesis. He stated that he believed fatigue to be due to a definite toxin, analogous entirely to the toxins of tetanus and abril type, and against which aspecifio and diphtheria, or to prisons of the racin antitoxiu could be prodated. To him the previously accepted views did not seem satisfactorily to explain the phenomena observed during the training of athletes or of soldiers, in which prolonged and disciplined exorciso makes it possible for individuals to support easily an amount of work which would prove exhausting or Even fatal to the untrained. Increased work, under any circumstancer, moans. increased metabolism, and a consequently more rapid accumulation of its products..

therefore entirely reasonable on these gounds to doubt the existing opinion on be subject, Weichardt believed that the explanation of these phenomena of train. ing must. He in the pores b athlete of A specific antibody' neutralizes the Fatigue toxin' as soon as it is formed."

With this idea before him, Weichard ex- perimented with the muscle-juice of guinea- pigs fatigued by foro'ng them to pall against resistance, and be found that, after the waste products preciously held responsible fatigue, had been removed, the residue 1521 followed, in most respects, the laws
