marks, the minister said, to be used for
the benefit of poor persons suffering
from tuberculosis. He had re-
quested Prof. Koch to make pub
lie only to limited extent the
composition of the lymph, so as to
render its imitation possible. Touching
the present preparation of the lymph,
DR.. Won Gossler said that Prof. Koch
and Drs. Libbertz and Pfuhl were occu-
pied solely in providing supply. After
arduous researches extending over
period of six weeks. it was found that
the lymph could be supplied at cost of

canons of the college to permit the ap-
plication of remedy the composition.

Koch says that if it were placed with
out reserve in tie hands of all prac--
titioners, more deaths would result from
its use than ever were caused by con-

long standing. and its mere acceptance
is believed to imply a meeting with
