BACILLI WELL SCATTERED.
Doctors Investigating the Case Of Pa
tient who Died After moculation.

New YORK, February A man died
in the Bellevue Hospital, Thursday
last, OF consumption, after long coarse
of treatment with lymph.
The Coroner was notified and an au-
topsy was performed. DIR. Henry 7.
Loomis, who brought the lymph from
Berlin and inoculated the patients In
Bellevue, was present at the autopsy
with other physicians.
Prof. Nirchow, after performing
autopsies in the cases Of persons who
had died after incubation with the
lymph, declared recently, in substance,
that the indications are that the lymph
does not entirely destroy bacilli in tu-
berculosis, but drives them from the
most affected to other parts OF the body;
that patient suffering from tu0er-
culosis in the lungs might be found
some time after inoculation to be suffer-
ing from tuberculosis in the kidneys or
some other organ. In the case OF the
Bellevue Hospital patient it was found,
by examining parts taken from different
orgrns of the body, that tubercuar 0a-
cilli were scattered throughout the en-
tire system.
DR.. II. p. LoOmis was asked for the
particulars of the case. He did not
wish, at first, TO say anything about 1t,
but he finally consented TO say this:
1.-THE patient was man. His name |
cannot tell you. His case was hopeless
from the beginning. On the question
whether the lymph scatters the baeilli
through the body, as Professor Nirchow
suggests, there is now an investigation
going on. The first rational presump-
tion is that the effect of the lymph Is to
scatter the bacilli, but there must also be
considered the fact that the mans case
was hopeless from the start. The prac-
tical question to be decided is whether
the baclli were in various parts OF the
system before the lymph was rejected.
1t is certain that bacilli were found in
brain, in the kidneys, in the lungs and,
| think, in the spleen. On the whole !
think the lymph was not the cause OF
the patients death"
DR.. Loomis added that "a patients are
under treatment with the lymph in
Bellevue, and that many afflicted with
phthsls go home and return TO the hos
Bital for treatment. All but two Of the
eases have improved.
