CONSUMPTION.

The benefit which DIR. Koch's discovery will be
to the community will come from future develop
ments by himself and others more than from
what he has already done; for what he has al
ready done has been partially or practically done
before in different manner and for a different
object.
Viz, ode. Koch still consideres his remedy as
In an experimental stage. and maybe he has yet
to improve it." He certainly depends on stop.
ping the growth Of the bacilli only, and nature,
in the fever following the increased burden from
diseased matter in the system following the
treatment, must throw 1t of, or death will fol-
low quicker than the disease would accomplish
it. This will lengthen the lives of some and
shorten the lives Of others. One-seventh OF the
whole human race die of tuberculosis, and very
few of these deaths are of the old but are chiefly
in youth and middle aged, shortening by one-half
the lives Of one million five hundred thousand
U,5o0,Oo0) persons annually. AS to the ques-
ton of his method being the best, scientific men
admit that age injuries the lymph; II so, at
certain age It is worthless or worse, as blood
poison would follow.
II Dr. Koch should give his formula to the pub
lie IL would not help much In saving life as thou
sands Of ignorant men would vary the formula Il
patented, from one TO one thousand per cent, to
show their talent and avoid the patent, and would
destroy more lives than want OF nutrition Is now
doing, as all disease comes from the inability of
the diseased OF gan be 1t the lungs or tissues, TO
obtain their proper and sufficient nourishmrnt.
The long and short OF the question Is this-Wil
any one deny that all members of the medical
procession OF all schools use Antiseptcs, in wash
ing out wounds and In dressing the diseased Or
gans after an operation until the wound heals?
That prevents blood poisoning aud not as many
cases % relapse follow, as was the case prior TO
the use OF Antiseptics, which relapse was the
cause OF most of the deaths that followed opera
tions.
These two methods differ in principle about as

the system, as they sustain life, II well done.
or raw product on the system, and the effect
would be much greater II Yaccinated daily for

1t is In effect, as 1t would demoralize the system
still more, creating fever and bringing out
diseases coming from the wastes Of daily life In
the system not being thrown off on account OF
weakness.
This means Scrofula, Eczema, etc.
What have we, the citizens OF the United
States, done and are willing to do to help the
noble work of saving and prOonging life? will
contribute three thousand (s30O0) dollars to
show the value Of nutrition In saving the con-
sumptiye from an early death.
ANY consumptlye that has been under medical
treatment for three months and finds no relief,
and has not taken Murdcck's Liquid Food, /
Will give, free of cost. TO the first five hundred
cases that apply. each one case OF six twelve
docks Liquid Food, aud If they receive no bene-
ft from the first bottle, which viii require one
weeks time to take II, abandon taking the bal
ance of the Food unless they find the following
week that they miss IL. 1t win not create habit
as, when the system Is restored to health, the
stomach will refuse to take 1t. This 0ffer Is no
boast, or made TO compromise great men, or 10
couple my name with theirs, as / desire only TO
show the value OF nutrition as found in my Liquid
Food In cleansing the system of disease, and my
record during the last eleven years that my
Liquid Food has been before the public, with the
twelve years prior when was carrying on my
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS the three thousand
surgical operations 10 my Free Hospitals during
the six years kept them open and hundreds OF
Paralytcs whom have restored to usefulness;
and Paralysis Is disease, all admit, lower In
the scale OF life than any other. The same Is
true OF the hundreds OF Consumptives whose lives
had been abandoned by their physicians, some
as many as ten years ago, and who since then
had been reduced by hemorrhages two or three
times so low that their lives were despalred Of,
and who were restored to usefulness and health
by Murdock's Liquid Food. The same results
with the Morphine habit, the worst of all vices
to acquire; we have the record of twenty-three
cures during the last six months; one, taking as
high as thirty grains daily, Is now free of the
curse; and we can quote cases concerning all
the minor diseases that flesh is heir 10, viz:
Scrofula, Eczema, Dyspepsia, Constipation, etc.
