IT CURES CONSUMPTION,
Patients at the City and County
Hospital Benefited by the
Lymph.
DR.. Hirschfelder's Treatment for the
Dread Disease Meeting With
Much Success.

There is every promise now that San
Francisco will have the distinction of Civ
ing to the world permanent and effective
cure for the most widespread disease that
civilized human flesh is heir to.
And in the promise is the name of DR..
Joseph O. Hirschfelder as the discoyerer
of the remedy. The promise itself is con-
tanned in the condition of the patients
now undergoing the treatment at the City
and County Hospital. and in the case of
one man who has discontinued the treat
ment because he thought himself cured
entirely.
This is William Carr, a man slightly
under 35 years. who came to the hospital
in quite feeble condition. and after un-
dergoing DIR. Hirschfelder's lymph treat
ment, finally left the hospital, if not
cured at least convinced in his own mind
that he was out of danger.
Carr's coughing had stopped entirely
when he left the hospital. He breathed
quite freely and felt so well that he de-
clined to take the treatment any longer.
Of course, it is optional with the patients
whether or not they will submit to the
injections, and Carr did not follow the
interne's advice when he left the hospital
few weeks longer under DR.. Hirschfelder's
charge, when there was every prospect he
would have been dischar as a well man.
However, Carr considered himself cured
and was in hurry to get away. He felt
well and strong and thought himself
entirely out of danger, which indeed it
may prove that he is. a week ago he
came back to the hospital suffering from
rectal disorder and he is now undergo
Ing treatment for that, but does not appear
to be suffering in any way from or evince
acute symptoms of his old disease.
The four other patients undergoing the
treatment at present show unmistakable
evidences of improvement. In the case of
card, who Is being treated in K ward
there is quite an apparent improvement
Although comparatively young man
Gard was very great sufferer before the
lymph was administered TO him. This
was little over a month ago, and since
then he has gained twenty-seven pounds
In solid flesh, breathes much better and is
able to be around and when the weather
Will permit to spend good deal of time
out of doors.
The three other patients, Roberts, Davis
and Mullen, in j ward are much better
now than when they came to the hos
p1tai. Roberts has only taken the treat
ment short time, but is now up and
around and in many ways shows consid-
cradle improvement.
Davis was very low when he began to
take the lymph, but he is now quite ac-
tive and goes out of doors in good weather.
Mullen's case is probably the worst of the
four. He is an elderly man and was very
low. He has only been under the treat
ment little while, and, though he is
still quite weak and may never entirely re-
cover, the lymph has evidently been of
much benefit to him.
DIR. Romwell, the inferno in charge of
ward j, corroborates the statements OF the
patients undergoing the treatment to the
effect that there are no evil consequences
following the injection of the lymph,
neither nausea nor fever ensuing after the
treatment. 1t may be, in view of this
fact, that DR.. HirschfeIder has made i'm
provements in his lymph since the time
that Patient Wiley told OF its evil effects
upon him; or, it may be, as was subse-
quently averred, that Wiley did not tell
the entire truth in the premises. At all
events recent developments seem to es-
tablish beyond doubt two things-that DR..
Hirschfelder's anti-consumption lymph
does greatly benefit the patients who have
taken it. and that there are no unpleasant
effects OF its administration.
