Berlin, April 11.-COpyrighted, 1896,
by the Associated Press. )-Intense in
terest has been aroused in medical and
other circles here by the announcement
of q young physician, Dr. Ernst Dang
held, today that he has discovered new
remedy for tuberculosis. Its principal
ingredients, it appears, are ozone and
cod liver oil, applied by simultaneous in
jections. In the experiments of the past
five years, he explained, the greatest
difficulty to overcome was that of keep
ing the ozone pure and readily availa-
bic. Of the ninety cases of tuberculosis
treated in the hospital during the past
year all have been cured.
Professors Gerhardt and Zenator fully
confirm the foregoing statement.

sentative of the associated Press
learned that Emperor William, who ar
rived at Venice, is greatly pleased with
his trip. His majesty is convinced that
the dreibund is more than ever popular,
both in Germany and Italy, and the num-
berless spontaneous tokens of sympathy
evinced by the Italian people during the
past fortnight clearly show that the drei-
bund has deep root in the nations mind
Independent of any cabinet crisis.

declares there are now as many officers
in retirement as in active service, that

which has created Widespread dissatis-
faction in the army.
