He Saw DIR. Koch and Procured a
Vial of the Lvmph-The First
Injection To-Day.
There is another supply of DR.. Koch's
lymph in Asheville.
DR.. S. Westray Battle returned to
Asheville yesterday from visit to Berlin
in the interest of his profession and to in
vestigate the now famous Koch treat
ment. The doctor gave to TIL: CITIZEN
to-day an outline of the events of his
trip and his views on the merits of the
remedy.
DR.. Battle left Ashevllle Nov 1S for
New York, from which point he sailed
for Berlin on the steamship Normandy
Nov. 20. He arrived in Berlin and at
once began his Investigations.
The doctor says that while in Berlin
he was shown every courtesy that could
I've accorded an American citizen and Of
ficcr of the United States navy, travelling
under his commission. He expresses
himself as enjoying the most interesting
professional experience of his life. In all
of the hospitals he saw daily twenty Or
thirty cases undergoing treatment, and
had privileges of following the cases
from the time of the first injection, the
reaction and subsequent history until
perfectly satisfied i'll every detail.
As TO THE LYMPH.
In speaking of the lymph treatment,
DR.. Battle said: at undoubtedly has a
great future, although it will take some
time to establish the full merits of the
remedy. A great deal depends upon dis
elimination and wisdom in the selection
OF cases for treatment, and the proper
diagnosis. The reputation olthc remedy
will be made or marrcd by the care
or carclcssness exercised in its adj
ministration in this the carly period of
its existence. gave special attention to
the Bcthanicn hospital, where there were
excellent facilities for studying all phases
of the tubcrcular diseases.
81 would not have procured the lymph
so easily perhaps but for the fact that
travelled under my commission as naval
officer, as the German authorities are
more than ever disposed to exercise great
care in dispensing the remedy"
DR.. Battle leprocured vial of the lymph,
and will open the package in the presence
of a number of his fellow physicians at
his Office to-day. This package, he says,
cost him twenty-six marks, or about
Sc so. He had an offer OF 81 900 for his
supply and thinks he could have sold it
for five times as much.
Several applications have been made
to DR.. Battle already for treatment, and
he made his first injection this afternoon.
He has been promised another supply OF
the lymph later, if desired.
Referring to cases of poor persons who
cannot pay for treatment, DR.. Battle
said that his sympathy, attention and
lymph are as much at their disposal as
ever before"
The Doctor was very conservative in
the expression of his opinion as to the
value of the remedy to suffering human
ity, but is hopeful of results that will
Justify the claims made for it by many
who have taken it up. He has contrib
uted an article, which will appear in the
Philadelphia Medical News, Saturday
upon the remedy and its administration
