CURE OF CONSUMPTION.

Professor Koch clam to have diSCOV cred a cure for consumption by process somewhat resembling innoculation, has received much attention from medical men in Europe, and hospitals for patients have been started in several European cities At one of these hospitals eight cases have been in process for some time. with satis factory results. Dr. Levy, who has charge of one of the hospitals, says:
 "The remedy not only attacks particular places and groups of bacilli, but rapidly annihilates all tuberculous bacilli with which bodies are infested. We now know hat the curative matter acts equally upon Ill groups. The first care is to free the organism from bacilli. To attain this end. we apply massage at an early stage of the treatment to the glands, joints, etc., af- tected by tuberculosis, ill order to force the bacilli which have encased themselves in cysts into the blood channels, where we can more easily reach them than in those parts where the circulation has little in auence. After the massage and the iniec. ton subdue the bacilli all that remains to be done in cases of tuberculosis of the l bones is to remove the dead pieces of bone and restore the general health of the pa tient."
 Dr. Pfuhl reports strikingly rapid cure of lung tubercules. The patient was a man aged forty-two He had been ill for six years, and his case was apparently hopeless. The first injection was made on
 November 9th. The usual symptoms fol- l lowed after the injection. The increase in fever and sickness were followed by dis tinct change in the character of the sputum and notable cessation of the characteris- I tics of consumption. Dr. Pfuhl promises 1 the patient that, though it cannot replace
 the parts of the lung that are gone, the remedy will insure healthy retention of the smallest portion left. The secret of the composition of the lymph has been communicated to Professors Bergman,
 Fratentzel, Brieger, Levy, and other inti- | mates of Professor Koch also to Professor
 Weigart, of Frankfort; Dr. Rast, chief of l the Hamburg Hospital, and Professor Nothnagel, of the Vienna University. Professor Nothnagel, addressing the students of the university said "We face one of the greatest intellectual achieve ments in the province of medicine for cen turies past. Professor Koch's discovery
 has far wider scope than Jenner's, and is, perhaps the grandest feat in the history of our science. What inspires me with
 admiration is not so much the actual dis. covery as the method of bacteriological l research, Whlcn must serve as the DaslS O1
 all future discoveries in that line The
 present moment is among the most sub
 lime that humanity has known"
 The students shared the fervor of Pro-
 lessor Nothnagel, and cheered him to the
 echo. Professor Billroth holds that Pro.
 lessor Koch's method places it beyond a
 doubt that remedy will be found before
 tong for cancer, which is still the greatest
 mystery in medicine, as experience indi-
 cates that carcinoma has bacilIic origin.
 FAILURES IN L1PE.-People fail In many ways ] tIn
 business in morality, in religion, in happiness, and in health. A weak heart is often unsuspected
 cause of failure in fe If the blood does not crcu-
 late properly in the ungs there is shortness of breath
 asthma, etc. in the brain, dizziness headache,
 in the stomach, wind, pain. indigestion faint spells,
 etc., in the liver, torpdity, congestion, etc. Pain in
 the left sde shoulder and stomach is caused by heart
 strain. For all these malades Dr. Miles New Cure for the heart and lungs is the best remedy. Sold, guaranteed and recommended by w. D. HEALD. Treatise free.
