supposed to be incurable. For a great
many years doctors pronounced, it a local
disease. and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronouncedit incurable. Science
has proved Catarrh to be constitutional
disease. and therefore require cons itutonal
treatment. Halls Catarrh cure, manu-

K0CH'S LYMPH.
The Professor Describes the Com
position of His Remedy.
1t Consists of a Glycerlns Extract Der tved
From the Pure Cultivation of the
TubercIe BaciIii,

Prof. Koch's report published Thurs
day describing the composition of his
lymph is comparatively brief. 1t says
the lymph consists of glycerine ex-
tract derived from tho pure cultivation
OF the tubercle bacilli Prof. Koch saws:
Since publishing, two months ago, the
results of my experiments with the new
remedy for tuberculosis, many physi.
clans who received the preparation have
been enabled to become acquainted with
It's properties through their own ex.
periments So far as | have been able
to review the statements published and
communications received by letter, my
indications have been fully and COM
pletely confirmed. The general con-
census of opinion is that the remedy
has specific effect upon the tubercular
tissues, and is, therefore, applicable as
delicate and sure reagcnt for dis.
covering latent and diagnosing doubt
ful tuberculosis processes. Regard
Ing the curative effect of the rem.
edy, most reports agree that, despite tho
comparatively short duration of its ap-
plication, many patients have shown
more or less pronounced improvement,
1t has been affirmed that in not a few
cases even cure has been established.
Standing quite by itself Is the assertion
hat the remedy may not only be dan.
gerous in eases which have advanced too
far--a fact which may forthwith be con.
eeded-but also that it actually promotes
the tuberculons process, being there
fore injurious. During the six weeks
myself had opportunity to bring
together further experiences touch
ing the curative effects and the dag
nostic application of the remedy in the
case of about $50 sufferers from tubercu
losis of the most varied types in this
city and in the Moabit Hospital. ! car
only say that every thing have latter
ly seen accords with my previous oh
servations. There has been nothing t
modify in what before reported. Al
long as it was only question of prov
ing the accuracy of my indications, i
was needless for any one to know
what the remedy contained or whence
1t was derived. On the contrary, sub
sequent testing would necessarily b'
more unbiased the less people know o
the remedy itself. Now, after suflicien
contirmatory testing, the Importance o
the remedy is proved, my next task j
to extend my study of the remedy be
yond the field where it has hitherto beel
applied, and, if possible, to apply tn
principle underlying the discovery t
other diseases.
