PROFESSOR KOCH.
Hts Cure for Consumption by Inocula-
ton.
Toronto Weekly News.l

lIOrOntO weekly NOVEL,
The Berlin dispatches of to-day contain
accounts of the continued arrival Of medi-
cal celebrities from England, France, and
other parts Of Europe and America, and it
is confidently expected that the Govern
ment grants will be sufficient TO establish
o State university to pursue the studies
that have engaged Professor Koch and his
associates. Its admitted by all physicians
that there can be no broader field of re-
search for medical science than Bacteriolo-
CIV, comprising, as il does, those tuber-
culous diseases to which the learned DR..
Koch is giving his attention. When
one remembers that over half a million
victims annually foil before this terrible
scourge. and that every eleventh family on
an average furnishes a subject to recruit
the ranks of the great host suffering from
tubercular consumption, IL is not TO be
wondered that so profound an interest is
felt in the investigations of the learned
German physician. The furthest DR.. Koch
is yet able to extend his work proves his
discovery of much value for tubercular
lupus and tuberculous affections of the
joints, where the surgeon can remove the
killed as the result Of incubation with the
lymph, and in which the baeilh have
been active; where this dead tuberculous
tissue remains, as in phthisis or consump-
ton, it is as yet impossible TO say how
valuable this discovery will prove; and as
the tissue cannot be removed by the
surgeons knife, il is not improbable that
from this time the bacilli may migrate to
the live tissue in immediate contact. !.
AS II now presents itself, the work of
DR.. Koch in discovering this bacillus and
the lymph for diagnosing tubercplous
diseases has made him name and reputa-
ton TO which o tribute of honor will be
paid second only to the immortal DR..
Jenner.
While the physician can understand the
action and the result to be relied upon in
using vaccine virus as well as the method
Of its manufacturing, this has yet TO be
be learned with the lymph being used by
DR.. Koch. and it will require many years
Of experiment TO demonstrate how valua-
bic this discovery may prove. II is there
fore probable that those who look for an
immediate and unfailing cure for tubereu-
4 lar consumption will meet with disappoint-
ment, unless they find il in the use OF
! SCOTS Emulsion. the curative agent that
has already done so much toward relieving
the terrible fatality of phthisis.
