States Attorney Longeneckor has como into

The fact is recalled that at one time during
the trial O'Sullivan srose from his scat amonc
the other prisoners and asked the Judge ftf
permission to speak to him; that Judge Ne
Council, supposing he wanted TO make SOM
objection In connection with the procedure
refused him permission TO speak, saying 10
him that his lawyers were the ones 20 do he
talking for him. The attorneys for the DE-
fense gathered around him and finally ne.
suaded him to remain silen.

DIR. KOCH'S CURES.
Views Of the ssMedical Record'' ON the
Wonderful Lymph.

Views Of the ssMedical Record'' ON the
Wonderful Lymph.
The Medical Record Of this week contains
the following: As We write the daily papers
are printing with every issue some fresh news
of the wonderful and al yet secret '.cure"
for consumption discovered by DR..
Robert Koch. The interest in it is
natural and intense. In this country there arc
some zoo. 600 sufferers from this fell disease,
and in Europe and other parts Of the world
still greater army of victims are hopefully look
ing for some cure or patiently awaiting the end.
The expectations aroused by the numerous
and mysterious reports that are issued from
Berlin must be very great. 1t is well, there
fore, to consider how much can be in fact
realized by the announced "cure." OF
It we know at least this. that
action an tn the VITALITY it,
power Of growth OF the tubercle bacili. II
this is the case, it is q remedy that must have
various limitations to its usefulness. Phthisis
Is, in most cases, in its inception, an infectious
baG,liary disease. But after lung tissue 10 once
well invaded and necrotic and infamma-
ton processes set in, the infection is a mixed
one and pyogenic organizes are largely in con-
troll. No agent which simply destroys tubercle
baciili can, therefore, seriously modify the
phthsical process. Germicides cannot cure
phthisis in its second and third stages.
We are confident that DR.. Koch will not
claim this for his ''cure." Already it Ia stated
that cases OF lupus, Of tubercular joints and Of
phthisis in the first stage have been cured.
But all these forms Of tuberclss can
already be relieved by surgical and hygienic
measures 81 our disposal. IL remains to be
seen, therefore, whether Koch has really sup
Piled rs anything which will carry the treat
ment Of tuberculosis any further than e al
ready has been brought
One thing further, perhaps, he has achieved,
viz: A method Of prevention for thoss sus-
ceptible or exposed 70 the disease. This may
in individual cases 10 almost slvsys possible Il
