Seems to Cure Everything From
Itch TO Consumption.
Wonderful Cures Reported by a Phy-i-
clan Who Gives His Experience
In a Medical society.

| The new York County Medical AS
ISOLATION listened at a meeting, TO s
elation of marvellous cures by mean:
of fluid which apparently is YET
without a specific name. DR.. Hub
bard w. Mitchell gave the results Of
experiments.
DR.. Mitchell said that about two
| years ago, a friend Of his gave him s
! fiuid which he claimed was good fOI
almost everything, curing Lucrative
and suppurative processes, and that
some of the worst diseases to which
mankind is subject could be cured in
a few days. He put the bottle on the
shelf, the usual place for unknown
and untried remedies, but a few days
sfterward a patient visited him with a
large carbuncle on the back OF his
neck. He treated the carbuncle with
the fluid.
The man returned the next morn
ing, and DR.. Mitchell was surprised to
find that the Inflammation had nearly
gone and all the symptoms were i'm
proved. Two days later complete
cure was effected.
Then DR.. Mitchell went to DR.. Tay-
Ior, of the Vanderbilt clinic, and asked
to be allowed to treat some typical
cases of infectious diseases which re-
suit in eruptions OF a distressing
character. The patien ts were from
the lowest strata Of society, users Of
tobacco in large quantities and hard
drinkers.
ONLY FAILED IN ONE CASE.
He treated 80 cases. In one case he
failed, but with the rest he was sue
cessful.
One OF the worst cases was cured in
about a week. In a case Of hernia,
where the patient was at deaths door,
he tried the fluid as last resort, and
the man recovered in a surprisingly
short time. He tried 90 cases OF ulcer
alive tonsilitis and was successful.
Bad cases of cancer also yielded under
this peculiar treatment.
DIR. Mitchell, said that, seeing the
great results achieved by external ap-
pl:cation, he thought he might obtain
the same by internal application, and
process going on in the lungs in case
of phthisis, or consumption. He in
troduced the fluid into the stomach
the mouth when the stomach
was empty, so that the liquid might
be the more readily absorbed by the
blood.
The patient took the medicine three
or four times day. He gave young
man, who had the true bacilli tuber- |
culosis, drachm doses four times a ]
day. He began June Let. In one |
week the patient ceased splitting blood |
and in December the doctor was I'M
able to find any trace of the disease. |
He described other cases of cOnsump- |
ton in which he was entirely success
jul.
WHAT THE FLUID LOOKS LIKE.
Finally, he held no a bottle which
contained the fluid. He said it was Of |
yellow, or straw color, of 1922 or 1925 |
specific gravity, and had a strong |
0dOr of chlorine. The taste was not |
unlike phosphate and of hologen salts. |
One of the audience asked for the for
nula, and as DR.. Mitchell could not |
give il another physician moved that, I
u that case, the further discussion be
stopped right there if the formula was
4 secret. This proposition met with
great applause, the audience evidently
pot wanting any secret nOstrum eX-
plotted.
DR.. Mitchell said he expected the
chemist who knew the formula would
De present and explain, but as the
chemist was not there he promised TO
obtain the formula and deliver it to
he association On that promise the
discussion proceeded.
