WANTS TO TRY HIS REMEDY.
Henry Sack Anxious to Put His Fever
Cure Into Practice.

Mr.. Henry Sack of this city announces
that he is the discov erer of a method of
treating yellow fever, which he believes
is infallibIe He is so confident of the
efficiency Of his treatment that he is anx-
ious to demonstrate the truth of his as
sertions by practical test, and desires
to prove to the world thai there need be
no fear of death resulting from yellow
fever, when the patient is properly
treated.
In a statement to a MORNING News re-
porter yesterday Mr.. Sack said: 81 dis
covered the key to efectually check yell
low fever orany contagious disease caused
/ by germs or microbes, by practical ex-
| perience during the epidemic of 1876"
"Why have YOU not allowed your SyS
tenn of treatment to be known?" he was
asked.
u have endeavored to interest the med
/ ical fraternity on more than one occasion.
Individually they have been attentive to
my entreaties to be allowed TO show that
every case can be treated with q certainty
of recovery without lingering sickness
afterwards. On one occasion, some years
ago the medical board of this city held a
meeting to discuss the question, but did
nothing, because l had not informed them
of the manner in which the patients should
be treated | was not even invited
to attend the meeting. This lack OF in
terest on the part of the physicians dis
cOuraged me, and | decided to let the
matter drop, but an opportunity again
presents itself in the unfortunate fever
striker city of Brunswick, and in order to
aid the future welfare of the community
at large, l again make another offer to
show the sincerity of my assertions.
think it is my duty to demonstrate that
something can and should be done and
practiced to alleviate the suffering of
hundreds of human beings. and to remove
the anxiety resulting from fears of the
dreaded disease.
Il want it to be distinctly understood
that have no AK to grind in suggesting
a remedy for yellow fever. l simply wish
to demonstrate practically to the salts
faction of men of medical science that my
plan of treatment is perfect. l propose
to any authorities, who are really dis
posed to aid the public welfare, or to the
medical fraternity. to prove that with
my remedy or rather method of treat
ment, anyone who understands the prac-
tice of it can and would rather face the
severest attack of any contagious disease
than be troubled with a toothsche or
severe cold in the head. l propose to
show that it is even better to quickly
meet the disease than to run from is in
case of an epidemic.
81 would willingly publish to the world
my method of treatment said Mr.. Sack
''but that would avail nothing, as many
would SCOT at its simplicity and others
who tried it would probably misunder-
stand it, therefore my great AHA to bene-
fit humanity would be lost.
Il do not aim to practice medicine, or
use my treatment for business purposes.
am not licensed physician, nor do
aspire to that distinction, but l do want
the medical fraternity to be convinced
that my treatment is infallible, and after
| have demonstrated its efficiency beyond
doubt, they are welcome to use it for
the benefit it will afford the suffering
people.
How do you propose to show your
treatment is sure cure}'' he was asked
81 propose TO go, at the direction of any
interested body of nvestigators, into a
furnished room which is thoroughly in
fected with germs of yellow fever and
remain until a board Of experts have de-
cided that there is little risk to allow pa
tients to be brought into my charge
Under my treatment, l will show that
the still infected room or premises will
not interfere with the recovery of the pa
tients, it being understood that to pro
duce thorough test, will not allow the
least particle of disinfectant to be
brought in connection with myself or pa
tients, nor even on the premises
SHOULD it appear too risky to allow a
fresh patient-that is, one who has not
had previous treatment will confine
myself to such as the physicians will con-
slider beyond recovery. This, however,
will be one of the hardest tasks to per-
form, for when doctor gives up a case
there is but little hope; the constitution
of the patient is then weakened and may
be termed the only doubtful case in my
treatment Of yellow fever. However,
am confident that [ can show favorable
result by my efforts to save life. I will
give satisfactory proof of my success in
treating cases. There will be no risk to
any one. will not poison the patients with
drugs, nor irritate them with rough treat
ment I will remove the cause of the dis
ease in few hours and the natural
strength of the pa Jient will return. There
will be no lingering illness or after
malady.
My method is no experiment, but
successfully tried remedy, which l have
demon surated to the entire satisfaction of
myself, and am willing to go through the
severest tests TO prove my assertions.
am willing to be sent to Brunswick to aid
in stamping out the disease there and am
confident that I will prove all l claim for
my method of treatment do not offer a
theory, but a sure and practical relief to
suffering humanity"
