An Alleged Cure For Tuberculosis Dis
covered BY Prof Koch.
The medical profession in Baltimore
is talking about the announcement from
the Berlin Medical Congress- that cure
has been found for tuberculosis or con-
sumption in guinea pigs and probably
in man. 1t has been so frequently an
nounced that remedy had been found
for this irrepresslble disease that ply
sicians usually greet such statement
with unbe1ief. This time it comes from
Prof. Robert Koch, the distinguished
director of the Hygienic Institute in
Berlin, the man who gave bacteriology
place in science Prof. Koch said, &C.
cording to the last issue OF the British
Medical Journal: st is not necessary,
as has often been enormously assumed,
that bacteria should be killed in the
body in order to make them harmless;
it is sufficient to prevent their growth
and multiplication. / have at last hit
upon o substance which has the power
of preventing the growth of tubercle
bacilli, not only in q test tube. but in
the body of an animal. My researches
on this subject although they have al
ready occupied me for nearly q year,
are not yet completed, and can only
say this much about them-that guinea
pigs, which, as is we'll known, are ex-
traordinarily susceptible to tubercufo-
Sis II exposed to the influence OF this
substance cease to react to the inocula-
ton of tuberculosis virus, and that In
guinea pigs suffering from general tu-
berculosis even to high degree the
morbid process can be broughtt to a.com-
plete standstill without the body being
in any way injurlously Affected One
of the officials of the Johns Hopkins
Hospital states that this is the '.most
important discovery in medical science
lin many years, and is receiving serious
consideration everywhere, as Prof Koch
is among the worlds foremost medical
experimenters. He has made a number
OF important and successful contribu-
tions to science, and any thing from
him is accepted as fact not to be de-
MED. 1t now remains to be seen what
is the remedial substance, and whether
it will cure man. That twill Is thought
highly probable. Every year one-sev-
enth of the country's population is car
ried of by tuberculosis. so cure for
the disease is an economic as we'll as a
philanthropic and scientific question"
