CONSUMPTION.

The benefit which DIR. Koch's discovery will be
to the community will come from future develop
ments by himself and others more than from
what he has already done; for what he has al
ready done has been partially or practically done
before in different manner and for a different
object.
Viz, CDR. Koch still consideres his remedy as
in an experimental stage. and maybe he has yet
to improve it," He certainly depends on stop.
ping the growth of the bacilli only, and nature,
in the fever following the increased burden from
diseased matter in the system following the
treatment, must throw it of, or death will fol-
low quicker than the disease would accomplish
1t. This will lengthen the lives of some and
shorten the lives of others. One-seventh OF the
whole human race die of tuberculosis, and very
few of these deaths are of the old, but are chiefly
in youth and middle aged, shortening by one-half
the lives of one million five hundred thousand
Il 10000 persons annually. AS to the ques-
ton Of his method being the best. scientific men
admit that age injuries the lymph; II so, at
certain age IL Is worthless or worse, as blood
poison would follow.
If Dr. Koch should give his formula to the pub
Tic itwouid not help much In saving life, as thou
sands ofignoranI men would vary the formula IL
patented, from one TO one thousand per cent, to
show their talent and avoid the patent. and would
destroy more lives than want OF nutrition Is now
doing, as all disease comes from the inability of
the diseased gan, be 1t the lungs or tissues, to
The long and short of the question Is this-Will
any one deny that all members of the medical
pro ession OF all schools use Antseptlcs, In wash
log out wounds and In dressing the diseased or
gans after an operation, until the wound heals?
That prevents blood poisoning and not as many
cases ot relapse follow, as was the case prior TO
cause of most of the deaths that followed opera
tons.
These two methods differ in principle about as
much as bread will if baked in an oven, or the
flour steamed in pot; both are OF equal value to
the system, as they sustain life, If well done.
We see the effect of Vaccine-which is natural
or raw product on the system, and the effect
would be much greater il yaccnated daily for
even short period. and II the vaccine was a
it is in effect, as it would demoraize the system
still more, creating fever and brnstng out
diseases coming from the wastes OF daily life In
the system not being thrown of on account OF
weakness.
This means Serofula Eczema, etc.
What have we. the citizens of the United
Sta es, done and are willing to do to help the
noble work of saving and prolonging life? will
contribute three Thousand (s3o0OD dollars to
show the value OF nutrition in saving the con-
sumptive from an early death.
ANY consumptive that has been under medical
treatment for three months and finds no reief.
and has not taken Murdock's Liquid Food,
will give, free of cost. to the first five hundred
cases that apply, each one case Of six twelve
ounce bottle, value $500 (six dollars), of Muir
docks Liquid Food, aud If they receive no bene-
fit from the first bottle, which viii require one
weeks time TO take 1t, abandon taking the bal
week that they miss it. 1t will not create habit
as, when the system is restored to health, the
stomach will refuse to take it. This offer is no
boast, or made to compromise great men, or 10
couple my name with theirs, as 1 desire only to
show the value of nutrition as found in my Liquid
Food in cleansing the system Of disease, and my
record during the last eleven years that my
Liquid Food has been before the public. with the
twelve years nrior when was carrying on my
observation-disclosures the three thousand
surgical operations Ia my Free Hospitals during
the six years kept them open ana hundreds of
ParalyticS whom have restored to usefulness;
and Par 4lysis is a disease, all admit, lower In
The scale OF life than any other: The same is
true OF the hundreds OF Consumptives whose lives
had been abandoned by their physicians, some
as many as ten years ago. and who since then
had been reduced by hem0rThages two or three
times so low that their lives were despaired OF,
and who were Re stored to usefulness and health
by Murdock's Liquid FOOD. The same results
with the Morphine habit, the worst of all vices
to acquire; we have the record of twenty-three
cures during the last six months; one, taking as
high as thirty grains daily is now free of the
curse; and we can quote cases concerning all
the minor diseases that flesh is heir 10, viz:
Scrofula, Eczema, Dyspepsia, Constipation, etc.
