DR.. Geddings, of the Marine Hospital
Service. has just completed his official
reported on the government tests of
Koch's lymph. Experiments were
made with a score or more OF pa
tients. He thinks Koch's remedy for tu-

which ought to be administered with eau
ton and under close and careful observa-
ton. The results oil the lymph, he says,

sion that the remedy is of limited appli-
cability, and while the future may have
for it an important sphere, its general re-
suits are disappointing to both physi-
clans and patients.
