NEW York, March li.--Ncver In ITS
history has the medical profession been
so wrought up. The excitement over
Koch's experiments was AS nothing TO It,
Yesterday the NcwYorlS Recorder prov
ed the certainty Of its having discovered
a cure for consumption by publishing
three columns Of expert testimony
from physicians who during the past
SIX weeks have been aiding its investi-
cation by conducting independent
tests. Every state In the union is rep.
resented from New York to California,
from Maine to Texas When DIR.
Annex re sponded to its offer of $1,000
for the discovery OF cure Tor con-
sumption The Recorder not only en-
ploycd corps of physicians to select
for il twelve test patients IN all stages
of the disease, but invited the cooper
alton OF doctors everywhere. DR.,
AmicIi had readily consented to supply
his brother physicians without cost, and
the newspaper announced IL would
send them all test medicines; each sup
posed comparatively few physicians
would give their time 10 demonstrating
whether DIR. Amict had really succeed
cd where every other scientist hnd
failed.
The surprise TO both newspaper and
doctor when the first mails brought
dozens of acccptances from progressive
physicians, and their discontinue
whenShis daily mail increased from
dozens to hundreds can be imagined.
DR. Annex gave up, at once, his large
practice to devote himself to the task,
and week later his equally celebrated
brother, DIR. NJ. l.. Amick, volunteered
his assistance, but when two weeks
ago having ut their own expense sent
out twcnty-cight hundred test treat
ments they found there were over four
thousand requests for the medicines
still unattended TO, each representing
an impatient physician, DIR. Annex tel
cgraphed The Recorder 10 Withdraw
the offer. This embarrassment conttn.
ued until last Saturday, when the Re
corder announced that through its In
fiuencc arrangements had been mace
To assist DIR. Amick and for the month
OF March every physician expressing
his desire To test the treatment and
every sufferer willing to act as test
patient would positively be supplied

ernor Lewelling will sign the bill The
time for final adjournment of the legisla-
ture was extended to Saturday noon. No
railroad legislation will he enacted at this

called to order by Speaker X. II. Davis,
who was recently disbarrcd by n decision
of the Shelby county circuit court. He has
refused to resign his position and has APP.
pealed his case 20 the supreme court. If he
persists in his refusal TO vacate it Is likely
that lively fight will result.
