"Since the first publication of this PAM
phlet, nv apparatus and method of treat
ment herein described have met with the
fullest approval of the European medical
fraternity. The demand for the apparatus
by physicians and the general public has
been very large and is constantly increas-
ing. Following is a partial list of the
more prominent medical men now using
the apparatus, many OF whom have also
placed the same in large hospitals. where
they are the attending physicians: Profess
sors Litton and Frankel, Drs. Lowe, Pick
and Well. in Berlin; Professor Schnitzler,
Vienna; Professor Hinchard' DIS.

Professor Christop in Constan-
tinople; DR.. Nord in Amsterdam; DR.. HUI
Der in Meran; Dr. Secchi in San Reno;
Professor Kohlschutrer in Halle; DR.. Men
den in Essen; DR.. Muller in Leipzig: DR..
Brehmer in Gobersdorf. and DIR. Dahl
mann in Elberfield.
''In introducing my apparatus in Amer
lea, | know it will be accorded fair and
impartial trial, and have the utmost con-
fidence that the results obtained will be as
favorable as they were here.
''The scientific facts upon which my
method is based can easily be placed be-
fore the public in such manner that,
when once thoroughly understood the ell
cacy of my curative method appears
matter of course-at any rate, to those who
do not deny the facts acknowledged by all
bacteriologists, and on which my curative
method is based.
Through Professor Robert Koch's dis
and researches, we learn that con-
is caused by bacteria-tiny or
ganisms belonging to the vegetable king
dom. They increase very rapidly by sub
divisions, and damage the organ in which
they are found, either by their mere pres
ence or by some specific poison produced
by them.
''The bacteria which cause consumption
are named tuberclebacilli. :
Since the learned professor discovery Of
this incontroyertible fact, it mas been the
task and aim of every disciple of the heal
ing art to destroy these germs. Unfortu-
nately, every attempt to this end has
hitherto failed, simply because any drug
strong enough to destroy the germs inev-
itably proves destructive also to the human
body: Or, to put the difficulty in still
clearer light--the tuberclebacilli resist the
action of anti-parasitic medicines-thati is
to say, medicines which kill parasi tes-
actually better than the very cells of the
tissue of the human body, so that the
bacilli cannot be destroyed without de-
stroying the cells of the human body at
5he same time.
Now my method entirely avoids these
difficulties. 1t satisfies every requirement
Of scientific remedy; that is to say, it is
directed against the CAUSE of the disease,
It is easily borne by the patient. and. al
most without exception, produces most
favorable results.
Gan the different kinds of bacteria can
only flourish within certain wall-defned
limits of temperature. That degree of
which best favors the devel-
,pment of any sort of bacteria we may
all their normal temperature. The pow
# of life and of development in these
bacteria can be influenced, lowered and
wen entirely destroyed by temperatures
lbove or below their own particular
lOrm.
Now these facts gave me the idea of
the bacllli in their weak point;
hat is, by exposing them in the lung to
high degree of heat, SO as to weaken
hem and to hinder their development and
multiplication that they may be final
y destroyed within the body. From the
beginning this appeared tc me to be posi-
lie; the only question at that time was
whether the human body was capable of
esisting this superheated air without diff
iculty. And, now that l have solved this
question, the doubt still remains among
elves with superficial judgment of my
method, without thorough examination
f it.
Il had experience on my side, in so far

nan is able, without any evil consequences,
o breathe air which is heated to degree |
to have a weakening and de-
tructive effect on the tuberclebacilli.
My researches and experiments in this
ERECTION, (Which were first tried in my
wn body proved the entire justice of my
in all points, and fully con
inced me that man is able to breathe
Without difficulty, and for protracted peri
Dis. air heated to 800 or even $50 degrees
fahrenheit. and that the consequences of
reathing such heated air are as follows:
Tristan acceleration OF the pulse for
be first few minutes only.
Second-A retardation of the frequency
respiration ii. e. slow breathing
Third-Deeper respiration.
Fourth-A raising Of the temperature of
he whole body, from one to two degrees
'ahrenhet.
Fifth-The exhaled air shows tempera-
ure of at least 113 degrees Fahrenheit.
Sixth-Within an hour after the expert
1ent is over the temperature of the body
eturns to the normal point.
Seventh-The general health remains
ntirely undisturbed.

lents. and always with the same results,

lents to sick persons until these repeated
xperiments had removed from my mind
