ceeded in curing the test patients he
should be given full and freq credit
for the same, and that il he failed the
treatment should receive merited
condemnation. Full. reports of the
progress OF the tests were to be pub
lished frequently until the end OF the
undertaking and the patients either
died or got well.
Acting on this plan The Post ad-
vertised for patients and secured sew
eral, including one OF chronic asthma
of 81 years standing and others OF
consumption which had progressed
into the third stage. The treatment
of all the cases was persistently car
ried on for over six months. The
progress OF the test was duly chron-
icled and became familiar to all the
people of the Ohio Valley and con
tiguous States. Marked interest was
excited and the outcome was as any
iously awaited by the public as by the
unfortunate patients themselves.
After the lapse of the time men
toned the Post stated that all of the
test patients were alive and we'll.
At the present time one of these test
patients is living ON North Bend, o.,
while another resides at West Fourth
Street, Cincinnati, and is continually
praising the Amick cure as final re-
lief from long continued trouble, and
the third who gained 81 pounds in six
weeks has become giant in strength
and lives now on Main street.
just before the test of the AmicR
cure took place. as narrated, DR..
Koch, the celebrated German ply
stefan and scientist, had an
nounced cure for tuberculosis
which, when thoroughly tested,
proved to be inefficient and the col
lapse of the general expectation which
had followed Koch's announcement,
made it difficult for Amick's treatment
TO find favor.
Nevertheless considerable num-
Der of physicians noting the appar-
emily favorable progress Of the tests
and convinced by the sincerity OF Dr.
Amick, by the fact that he declared
himself willing to send out free to all
regular practitioners sample outfits
of his medicines, with directions of
treatment of test cases, concluded to
experiment for themselves, and to
this end sent for medicines and direc-
lions.
