also know that this disease is to be
dreaded even more than smallpox,
diphtheria and-scarlet fever. 1t kills
every seventh person, and 1t has been
considered hitherto almost incurable-
Numerous studies have been made III
order to find a remedy, but all have
been III vain.
The righteousness Of tuberculosis |
was proved when Robert Koch dlscOy-
cred the specific bacillus and proved
his discovery BY inoculatlons from pure
cultures.
Although numerous attempts have
been made to discover Il means Of pro |
lection against this disease, and al
though a great many scientists have
studied the disease, both bacteriolOgi
cally and pathologically, there have
been found no such means.
About three weeks ago DR.. G. NJ. Ca
rasso, director of the Military hospital
at Genoa, published a paper on new
treatment Of tuberculosis which was
begun by him in 1888, and which has
been adopted by many Of the leading
European physicians.
From DR.. Carasso's paper is taken
the following
an 1883 | started my first expert
ments, submitting the sick t contlnu-
Gus limitations of ethereal 6 pep
permint. at the same time adm. ulster
ing q solution of creosote and advising
Experimentation. As result OF this
treatment | noticed considerable i'm
provement in the general health OF the
patient and became convinced that
this method by far excelled all other
methods hitherto known. | advised
long limitations of the yapOr from oil
of peppermint and took care that the
patients kept their breath so long that
the mixture of The atmosphere air and
the peppermlnt vapOr could exert its
influence upon the walls of the respira-
tory canal and upon the tissues Of the
lungs as long as possible. The solution
Of creosote, as administered through the
mouth, was mixed with a small amount
Of the peppermint essence III order to
prohibit secondary injection through
the allmentary tract.
Il found that by such treatment the
bacillus tuberculosis disappeared from
the sputum much more rapidly than
by any other method They disap-
peared in the cases treated by me con-
stantly during minimum Of ten and
a maximum of SO days. At the same
time the coughing became less intense
aud the membrane and sputum lost its
puslike and bloody Serious character.
Persplration did not take place to such
an extent as before the Authorization
became much more effective, and the
normal perspiratlon returned. The
physiological sound accompanying res
piratiol entirely disappeared
IF there were any lever, 1t (ilsap-
peared in the course of few days; if
fever prevailed, | was dealing with a
complication.
.'Out of 43 cases of pulmonary tuber-
losis | had 81 cases of recovery when
| first published my method. | con-
cluded as to healing from the follow
Ing facts:
'First-That bacillus tuberculosis
constantly disappeared from the spu-
tun.
'Second.-All patients suffering
from pulmonary tuberculosis reached
perfect recovery, and many OF the heal
lngs are at present from FIVE to six
years old.
Third-This simple and effective
method is perfectly harmless. Since
that time new treatments have result
ed IN additional cases oi recovery"
Dr. Carasso's communication is SO
extraordinarily interesting that it
ought to be known, only to physicians
but also to the public in general. In
view OF the many sorts Of bogus medi-
clnes in the market, which are claim
cd to be able to effect cure of tuber-
culosis, the sound mode of treatment
rs advised by celebrated and illustri-
Gus scientist and physician should be
noted. This treatment can be used bv
anybody, and when the question as to
lite and death arises, who will not be
clad to follow it, even Its beginning
should be little difficult?
