as Useless, After Investigation
Washington, July 81. Colonel John
W. Foster, United states minister 10
Spain, has transmitted to the state de-
partment report made TO him by
Il. DE La GraDja, a physician of Bos-
ton, OIL the cholera in Spain, and the
-Prophylactic, anti-choleraic inocula-
ton of DIR. Ferran. DR.. La Granja
was accompanied by the medical COM
mission which was recently sent to
Valencia by the Spanish government
to investigate the condition of the
cholera epidemic which is prevailing
in the provinces and TO report OH the
efficacy of the new system of inocula-
ton pratticcd by DIR. Ferran. DIR. La
Grapia descI ibcs the arrival of the
commits 'ion nj Alera, Il town OF 1890
inhabitants in
THE INFEC n % DIsTRIC rs,
on May Goth and tells of the enthu-
siasm of inhabitants over DIR. Ferran's
treatment. They. aided by the mayor
clamored that DIR. Fcrran should re
main among them and save them from
the scourge.
On May 31st the commission went
TO Algemessi aud found the cholera
raging there. "This fact being set
tied" the doctor adds, "the commits
sion decided TO spend the rest of the
afternoon in an entertainment OF the
inhabitants, who had been inoculated
by DIR. Fcrran with his
ANTI-CHoLERAIC BROTH.
The number of those examined
was quite large and all of them were
enthusiastic IN praises given to DR..
Ferran. They had been inoculated
in both arms but presented no marks
or scars other than those made by the
hypordemic syringe and now almost
obliterated. Some of them stated
they had little headache aud all that
they had severe pains in the arms
lasting about twcnty-tour hours alter
| the incubation. One of
THE MOST REMARKABLE THINGS
is that none had either vomit or di-
arrhGa while suffering from the eff.
fects of incubation or from the at
tenuated cholera as DIR. Fcrran aud
his friends style it, excepting the
small children unable to speak, who,
according to The testimony OF one OF
DIR. Ferran's assistants, had both.
During the last few days the number
of opponents TO DIR. Ferran's prophy.
Tactic NEGOTIATIONS has greatly in.
creased aud | sincerely believe that
there would be but
VERY FEW ADIIERENTS,
were il not because the opposition
to the present government of Spain
has made political capital out of the
| ,ualI urn,,uJat encnnuCinu nf tho inna
ulation until after the termination o
the investigation and the report of thu
scientific commission as ordered b,
the secretary of the interior. TIT
suspicion that the anti-choleraic pro
cess of DIR. Ferra1 is
NOTHING BJrAN EXPERIMENT.,
is perfectly true, and | hav
no hesitation in asserting tina
even as an experiment, it is yer,
crude, unscientfic aud anti-pathologi
, and unfortunately, il has been divesi
ed of all merit, If 1t ever had any, b
converting ii, while in its rudimenta

DIR LaGranja continuing says, tina
some persons were found who suffer
: ed severe inflammation OF the arm
: from the incubation and that Other
u were reported 10 have.
DILD FROM BLOOD POISON.
y He attributes this to careless metl
i DDS in the work OF inoculaiion, sn
: proceeds; "The statistics presente
y by Ferran to substantiats his claim
~ favor of his broth, seems to give hi
u support but, unhappily for HIM, the
Q cannot be taken as statistics by an.
body free from prejudice. The favo
