Remarkable Discovery.

WAsHINToN, April -. - United
States Counsul General de Kay at
Berlin, believes that m American
physician has discovered the means
OF curing consumption, lupu and per-
haps cancer. In report to the State
Department, he says the coming Med
ical Congress, which is likely to give
no little attention to the discovery of
DR.. Lonis Waldstein, a native OF New
York. This is announced in the
NGerman medical papers:as IN extra
ordinary action OF minute injections
and pilOsarpine crystallized extract
from Brazilian Jaborandi plant on the
Emphatic system. This in a sense
completes tho celebrated she'll
serum" acting favorably upon the
patient, whom the serum does not
cure.
The key to the discovery is this:
by successive injections OF minute
doses of pilosarpine in the veins, he
arrives mt n gradual stimulation of the
Emphatic system. That system in.
creases while the corpuscles in the
blood, which in some way, not agreed
upon, can certainly overcome and
render harmless those poisonous par
ticles i'll the blood that produce dis.
ease.
The discoverer strongly advises
physicians to try pilosarpino in tho
early stages OF consumption and in
deed, i'll all diseases involving the
lymphatic system. lIo has satisfied
himself that it forms the truest, wo..
thy test for the presence OF tubercul
osis i'll man md animal.
Tho report closes with a statement
OF caso Of lupus OF twenty-five
years duration and regarded as in
curable, which was relieved immedi.
ately after the first injection and is
nowost healthy.
