Prof. Koch had concluded his expert

furore in the medical profession produced
by tho announcement of a cure for con-

came up when, after improper and mis-

Al Of this unsuccessful work was vas the re-
methods of preparation and administra-
tion of the remedy.
Continued experimenting in subsequent
years by Prof. Koch and his corps of help
ers, assisted by the German government
resulted in establishing the fact that Prof.
suited in the perfection of a new sys-
tenn by which consumption could be posi-
lively and absolutely cured in 95 per cent
second stage, as well as limited number
IN the third stage. This theory of Prof
Kochs, now an established fact proves
beyond doubt that the disease, consump-
ton, is due to a microscopic organism called
by him "tubercle bacillus" and that where

to the bacilli and which, when separated
and injected into a consumptive patient
destroys the bacilli present in the patient.

and thus erecting positive, absolute and
permanent cure
experimenting have demonstrated the truth
of the foregoing theories, and have also
produced perfect and incontrovertible
method or system by which consumptives
may be cured.

the Colleges of Medicine in which they have
held various chairs as professors and in
structors.
These progressive and thoroughly scien-
tific. men became convinced months ago
of the efficacy of Improved Tuberculin,

using it in their private practice with the
most gratifying results.
In order that the greatest number of
consumptive sufferers may take advantage
established an institution at No 529 South
Broadway this city, known as 'The Koch
Medical Institute" where all persons with
receive treatment at the hands of these
skilled practitioners and where -consump-
tives may be absolutely cured, by. the
proper use and administration of their
Improved Tuberculin."
Drs. Ballard and Whitman have estab-
lished this institute for the benefit of all
| persons suffering from weak or diseased
| lungs.
| Many consumptive patients have already
| been cured by them, and many are now un-
der treatment. any of whom are ready to
attest the efficacy of the treatment to cure
consumption. There is not the least danger
| to the patient and If taken in the early
| tion. a disease->erf cert aias -paffied the doc
tors for years. can now be treated with as
| much assurance of recovery as any other
disease If the treatment is taken early

Everybody affected with weak or dis
| eased lungs, or. having friends so affected,
! is invited to call and investigate thorough
