The details regarding Prof Koch's great
discovery of new treatment for consump-
ton were made public last Saturday in
paper published by him in the German
Medical Weekly of Berlin. Briefly stated
Dr. Kochs discovery is that patients in
whom tuberculosis appears may be cured
by incubation with a lymph prepared in
a certain way. 1t is the lymph and its use
which is DR.. Koch's discovery, and he does
not, as yet, give the source from which the
lymph is obtained 1t is applied by inject
ing a certain quantity between the shout
der and near the loins, After few hours
severe rigors, followed by high fever, APP
pear, with pain in the limbs, difficulty of
breathing and coughing. After 10 or -
hours these symptoms disappear, and the
patient feels better than before the treat
ment. Subsequent NEGOTIATIONS are made
according 10 the severity Of the case. What
the fluid kills is not the bacillus which
causes the disease, but the tissue affected
by it, DR. Koch expresses his belief that
his remedy will prove a cure for incipient
consumption Of the lungs Where large
cavities have formed some Improvement
may take place, but a cure cannot be hoped
for The efficiency Of the treatment
therefore, lies in its early application, DR.
Koch says his experiments have showr
that tuberculou, affections of other portion,
of the body may be easily and surely
reached by this treatment. Since the pub

Further facts which have come out in re
gard to the harbarities practiced 10y the Of
ficers of Stanley's rear guard make the case
still worse for them. Mrs. Jameson sub
mits a letter from her husband in regard to
the incident of the girl bought and given to
the cannihals. in which he attempts to ex-
cuse his act by say ing he did not know what
was to he done with the handkerchiefs
which he furnished to buy the girl with.
He admits watching the horrible scene, how
ever, and his letter simply makes sure the
dreadful story Along with this comes the
statement of native servant who says that
when Tippu Tbs men refused to give the
girl to the cannibals Jameson himself took
her by the wrist and turned her over to
them One of the "curiosities' sent home
by Jameson was a Negroes head to be stuffed
and mounted The facts, as they come out,
confirm Stanleys statements, but the re
sponsibility for these atrocities falls in a
certain measure upon him, for they were
done bv subordnates selected by him fol
the important charge committed to their
hands.

The excited condition of the London
stock market reached its climax last Satur
day, when it was announced that the firm
of Barring Brothers was in difficulties. Its
failure was at one time announced. This
was not the fact, however, but it would
have become so had not large banking
firms, including the Rothschilds of Paris,
come to its rescue Its safety was finally
assured by assistance promised by the bank
of England. Since then guarantee fund

eign houses to tide the firm over its period
OF distress The Earrings are one of the
Oldest and largest commercial houses in the
world their business having been established
early in the last century. The distress OF
the firm was occasioned by the fact that it
had undertaken to carry too heavy a load
of the securities Of the Argentine Republic
coupled with notice from Russia of the
proposed withdrawal of large government
deposits from its funds. This unfavorabl,
news from London caused great excitement
in the stock markets of this country anC
