While the road between Salem and

it is yet in a horrible condition for

best in the county it is one of the most

Great Importance of Prof. Koch's Dis
coysries Vouched for


BERLIN, Oct. 30.-Professor Koch Is max
ing experiments in Professor Senator's
wards of the Charity Hospital ON eight
| slight cases of consumption. The patients
have signed papers declaring that they will
undergo the treatment of their own free
will without holding Professor Koch re-
sponsible il the results should unfortunately
prove fatal. The professor has one asss-
tant, who is bound by oath not to breathe
to any one the slightest information of
anything he sees or hears.
Professor Koch refuses to say more on
the subject of his discovery of the cure for
consumption than has been published in
the National Zeitu,g. No further particu-
lars are obtainable in addition to those al
ready cabled, except that metallic salts are
used In the preparation of the lymph. The
lymph having killed the bacillus acts as
medium to re-establish the patients health
by its inherent healing powers, and also
tortiiies him against the further invas;ons
of the bacillus.
The lymph is obtained by long and ex-
tremely difficult process, at great cost. The
great difference Between the lymph used
for smallpox and that used for consump-
tion is that Prof Koch inocuates only
persons whoare already stricken with phthi-
sis.
1t is not expected that long-standing
cases of lung consumption can be cured by
wv ~ Ntlltlbli 40 III SutIl tdStH ttHtT phTd-
sites besides the tuberculosis bacillus eat
their way into the lungs, while Prof.
Koch's lymph only kills the bacillus
proper but il kills it Immediately, and
stops the process of consumption without
question
Prof Koch refuses TO answer any ques
tons as they interfere with the progress
of his experiments. The doctors who have
seen the effects Of the lymph declare that
the new invention il suneriOr 10 the dis.
covery Of chloroform or the antiseptic
treatment found out BY Sir James Lister The
celebrated Prof. Lcyden is the only person
in koch,s confidence and he has the very
greatest hope Of the discovery, He snys
Prof. Koch would have remained silent
If his success were not assured. ~
Professor Koch will announce his inven-
ton by means Of an illustrated lecture
before the medical society sometime within
the next six weeks. The statement that
the lymph contains metallic substances has
been coinbated.
