DIR. Karl Won Ruck, proprietor of tn,
, Winyah Sanitarium, has returned from
Berlin, where he went to investigate tn,
cure for consumption discovered b,
Prof. Koch, of that city. He brough,
back supply oft the lymph.
DR.. Won Ruck left here Monday, Nov
II, almost as soon as the discovery was
announced and went Immediately to New
York from where he sailed for Berlin.
As soon as he landed in Germany he tcle-
graphed to an official with whom he was
acquainted and had credentials tele-
graphcd to him at Berlin, and OH reach
. ing that place found them waiting for
him. After making two efforts to
see Dr. Koch in person he was ad-
mitted to an audience with the
doctor and had Ishort talk with him
on the subject of the great discovery.
He says DR.. Koch told him that the cure
would undoubtedly work the best re-
suits when aided by the proper climatic
influences.
HE SAW THE OPERATIONS
81 went to Berlin" said DR.. Won Ruck
to THE CITIZEN to-day, somewhat skep-
tical as to the efficiency of DIR. Koch's
discovery, but am fully convinced of it's
value as cure for tuberculosis. was
in Berlin for two weeks and saw iniec-
tions of the lymph. was rendered every
facility by the physicians in the hospitals
in Berlin to see the operation OF the
fluid and saw number of microscopic
and post-mortem examinations. The re-
action after the administering of
the lymph Was also exhibited to
me. picked out about one
hundred patients in the various insti-
tutions where the cure was being used
and watched their cases closely. visiting
them every day and some of them twice
day, noting the progress of the work
ings of the cure.
"My supply of the lymph" continued
DIR. Won Ruck, was readily obtained
when ! gave my credentials to those
having it in charge. ] obtained it on
Tuesday, after arriving on Saturday.
My supply consists Of three bottles of
the fluid. This is fifteen cubic centemc-
tiers or about hall an ounce. This is suf-
iicicnt to make fifteen thousand injcc-
tions, as only very minute particle
can be injected with safety. |
have received cablegram to the
effect that twenty cubic cent?
meters have been shipped from Berlin
in addition to this quantity already on
hand. | will then have enough lymph to
last Ashcvile six or more months. The
quantity to be administered at an injcc-
ton varies from the six hundredth tn the
sixticth part Of a drop. The lymph |
which brought to this city is the FIRST /,
that has gone into the interior of this
continent, or in other words west Of the |
city OF New York and the other eastern
cities.
STUDYING ruE TREATMENT.
My object in staying in Berlin so long
after obtaining supply Of the lymph
was that might get in full the practical
method Of treating patients. The mate.
rial is a deadly poison and is Of course very |
dangerous when not properly admins
