How 1t Was Exploded BY an Australian
Physician


An Austr Ian physician. who is travel.
ing in this country, and stopping a.
present in Wilmington, tells an amusing
incident which occurred in connection
with theory that Dr. Koch advanced
some twenty years ago, demonstrating
the cause of cholera. Cholera was then
rampant in the colonies and che
eminent German professor visited Aus
tralia for the purpose of explaining his
theory to medical men. Several of the
latter were collected in room, among
them doctor from the back woods who
until the outbreak of the malady had
more time than he had patients. DIR.
Koch held in his hand small bottle, and
after q long dissertation on cholera,
the cause and effects, he explained
that the contents of the bottle were
poisonous. When drank, although the
victim would die, the truth Of his theory
would be demonstrated by the conse-
quences
The back-woods practitioner listened
intently, and when the professor had
done he came forward and said he had
been of little use to his profession, but
the time had come when he thought he
might. by one act, do lasting service to
mankind.
Raising the bottle to his lips, he
drained it at draught. The spectators
were dumbfounded, but their consterna
tion passed away when the practitioner
was found to be going about his usual
business. The theory was exploded, and
the doctor from the backwoods afterward
thought that he he'd not lived ia vain.

Nearly all the dsirymen went over theii
