TWELVE LIVES SAVED.
The Lymph's Success on the Highlands
OF Southwe.tern Texas.


ESPECIAL TO TIE woRLpl
SAH ANTONIO. Tex. March 31.-whstever
have BEEN tho result, or lack OF results Of
Koc!s lymph in more northern ATTITUDES. its
success on the highlands OF Southwestern
Texas has been demonstrated. II has been
given thorough trial aud has accomplished
moro than WAS expected Of it. II has been
the undoubted means OF saving twelve
lives, and I,any other patients have expert
enced benefit from It's use.
DIR. A. T.. Jenkins. who was for four years
q student IN Kochs Berlin laboratorv. came
hero six weeks ago with T5. 900 injections
OF the lymph. probably the largest shipment
ever sent to tho United States. Ie has
made no charge for administering II except
when tho patients were people OF wealth
, The greater number OF patients treated
have hcon those ~ persons In moderate cir
| cnmstances. Who came from the North in
hope OF finding relief in the Southern cli-
mate. Solno of the cures have been of con-
sumption in advanced stages. In all cases
the lymph acted with surprising rapidity
and regularity. The total number OF pa
eiGht. ami twelve have been cured. In
every instance the dose ha- been the small
cal, permitted by Koch. and sometimes even
! SO little AZ One-siIth OF a milligram DR..
Jenkins says that he has uniformly OBJ
tanned better results from the smaller iniec-
tions.

cures was in the case OF L. +. Foster. State
Commissioner Of Insurance. -Statihtics, Ag:
ricnlture and History. He had Partial
tuberculosis in both lungs. q distinct lesion
and night sweats. He was discharged FRI
day o. cured.
In the nse Of the lymph so far south and
eae Dr. pfif JepRns has as eatsbisheS stab shess @
interesting facts concerning its action
First - That If certain precautions are
taken and the lymph 10 properly injected
thnFa " mr. Ia in the UOrAt fDFms
second-Thst 1T can be used where there
where the chest muscles are weak its injec-
tion ia followed by feeble expectoration,
without the secondary dangers postulated
by some.
Third-.That the benefit from the lymph
has no necessary relation to the go called
reaction, or the intensity Of the reaction;
on the contrary. he finds that some OF the the
come from doses which may bo called
'sub-reactionary."
Foulth-1her should be comparatiyelJ
wide intervals in it's administration. and II,
cumulative action should be carefully stud
led i'll each case. The agent 10 undoubtedl )
toxic in chemical sense. but acts like Q
Fifth II properly applied the lymph will
be found beneficial IN all 1orms OF external
tuberculosis in al stages of pulmonary dis
} esse. In the worst cases it has helped sleeI
, and digestion. and especially the blood
making functions. OF the 10 cases treated
here every one has had the characteristic
, reaction and not one has had to go 90 BED
. under its influence. Its earliest effect ha'
been shown in the complexion. owing to thu
. increase of red corpuscles. In four weeks
a one case gained twelve pounds in weight.
, In this caSe the man had an abecessal de
struction of one entire lung. He has re-
sumed his work.
T., The climatic conditions here are such tina
instead OF end deavoring to give the patient
Q as much lymph as possible. DR.. Jenkins hal
0 aimed to get the best results with the small
eat practical doses. He will send few mil
llRrams OF the preparation he uses to eacf
9 Of the professional users OF the lymph II
n America. Some OF IL was rent Friday to Dr.
Libbeitz. of the Koch laboratory, with
formula for its injection and use.
