SECRETS OF K0CT rs LYMPH.

BERLIN, Jan. 16.-The final statement
regarding the ingredients Of Professor
Koch's celebrated lymph has cadeed almost
as much excitement here as the original an
nouncement that a cure for tuberculosis
had been discovered. The medical world is
now engaged in eagerly studying the details
Of Professor Koch's article, which seems to
present a wide field for discussion, espe-
cially since the delivery Of Pro-
fessor NirchOw's clinic. 1t would ar.
pear that the latter does not deny
| The efficacy of the Koch remedy, but
only desired to sound note OF warning re-
garding the dangers attendant upon its use.
The majority Of the papers content them
selves with reprintiug Professor koch's ar
ticle without comment, but the National
Ieituug draws attention to the fact that the
new contribution to medical literature fully
confirms its authors original statements
and clearly proves that NirchOw's objec-
tions were foreseen by Professor Koch, nota-
bly, the one alleging the remedy was not
suitable for advanced cases.
Professor Koch during the past few days
has been observed to be in unusually good
spirits. On a friend asking the cause OF bis
cheerfulness, he replied: because Nirchow
has attacked me again"
Referring to the doubts long ago expressed
by the latter as TO whether the tubercle ba-
cil'us was alone responsible for originating
tuberculosis, two physicians at Stuttgart
have published the results Of experiments
with the lymph in tie treatment OF scrofu-
ous diseases Of the eye. They report com
plete success IN two cases, and that the re-
naming patients have decidedly improved.
FRENCH PHYSICIANS FIND FAULT.
PARIS. Jan. 1G.-French physicians criti-
cising Professor KOch's report upon the in
gradients OF his lymph, say that he report
is not complete. and does not indicate the
quantity or dose. or the substances compo-
sing the liquid. They contend that
mystery shrouds the remedy, and as
sert that the necessity for the
exercise Of caution continues unsbated
These same critics also say that the
nicacy % the curative lymph has not been
dem lnstrated, and that no patient treated
in France. according TO kOchs system, has
been cured. \ final and aulhOrltauy.
opinion canno', they believe, be passed unit
further and more thorough experiments
have been had as to the merits Of The dis
cOvery. I'm the meantime French physicians
suggest that the remedy be neither over
rated nor decried.
