THE CURE FOR CONSUMPTION.
Medical Men Say Prof. Koch Has Made "A
Great Discovery.


BERLIN. November l.-Prof Koch re
fuses TO say more on the subject of his dis
covery of the cure for consumption than
has been published in the National Zeitung.
No further particulars are obtainable In
addition 10 those already cabled, except
that metallic salts are used in the prepara-
ton of the lymph The lymph, having
killed the bacillus, acts as a medium 10 re-
establish the patients health by its inner
ent healing powers, and also fortifies him
against the further invasiOns Of the bacll-
lus.
The lymph is obtained by long and eX-
tremely difficult process, at "A great cost,
and the cure will therefore be available
only for the wealthy. if the remedy is not
bought by the governments of the different
countries for the general benefit of hui
manity.
II is expected that long-standing cases OF
lung consumption cannot be cured by the
invention. as in such cases other parasites
besides the tuberculoss-bacillu eat their
way into the lung, while Prof hOch's
lymph only kills the bacillus proper. But
il kills il Immediately and stops the pro
cess of consumption.
Prof. Koch refuses TO answer any ques-
tions, as they interfere with the progress
of his experiments. He says: Absolute
quiet is peremptOry for me- am work
ing and the whole world cannot be
bothered by the interests Of the individual"
The doctors who have seen its working
declare that the new invention is superior
to the discovery Of chloroform.
Prof. Koch is making experiments AT the
present time in Prof Senator's wards of the
Charity Hospital in this city on eight slight
cases of consumption. The patients have
signed papers declaring that they Will un-
dergo the treatment of their own free will
without holding Prof. Koch responsible II
the results should unfortunately prove
fatal. The Professor has one assistant,
who is bound by oath not TO breathe 10
any one the slightest information OF any
thing he sees or hears.

believed. at locations of reasonable acces-

Lake Superior region IS rich with iron that
will develop undoubtedly in the future on Il
large scale. He said he was ast0unded as he
went through that country to discover such
immense mineral resources, and apparently
of such easy access. He was very much
interested, as he was also surprised to see
TO what an extent the copper mines OF Sud
bury are being developed. He was amazed
at the inexhaustible nickel deposits. Ac-
customed to look upon nickel as rare met

most beyond belief that there should be
running through the wilds of the Sudbury

established, and the extent TO which 1t may
be used, covered by the cost of nickel, the
development OF the mineral resources OF

below. Nellie was instantly killed, but
fortunately little Della Brown lives to tell
the terrible tale as related. Her little arms
and legs are broken. and although terribly
bruised it is thought she will recover Last
night the citizens of Akron searched for
the missing girls and found them at ,
o'clock this morning.
For several hours little Della laid on the
stones at the side of the creek unable 10

Her actions excited the curiosity of the
family. Sarah started for the bridge over
the mill dam, about ten feet high, and ar
irving at the place stepped in between the
iron braces and jumped into the water which
is several feet deep. Simon Brown saw
her and ran to the spot and rescued Sarah
from drowning. The crime is believed to

created the greatest excitement at Akron,

ordained in ireland. He came to this

the Philadelphia diocese, in which he la
bored for eight years as assistant priest,
pastor, superior, and professor in the do
cesan seminary, and Vicar General In

made an archiepiscOpal see, and Bishop
