Df. Cyrus Edson's Much Discussed Con.
sumption Cure Described.
Asserted to Have Been Successful
In More Than Seventy Per
Cent of Cases of PhthisIs

DR.. Cyrus Edison, formerly health com
missioner, is preparing report for publi-
cation in the Medical Record which will
reveal for the first time the formula used in
the manufacture OF asepsin, his new remedy
for the treatment of consumption.
DIR. Edson's-report is TO be ready in two
weeks. In II he will tell of the ex experiments
which have been made during the past four
months, not only by himself, but by other
physicians in this city and elsewhere. 1t
is said that from 30 TO so per cent of the
patients under this treatment for conslImp-
tion have been cured or are now on the fair
way to recovery, and that remarkable re-
suits have been obtained in cases of malaria
and intermittent fevers.
While Dr. Edison does not state that his
remedy is infallibic he asserts that it ccr-
tainly is q great relief. particularly where
phthsis is far advanced. Nearly two hun
dred persons suffering from consumption IN
this city are now being treated with asep-
s.n. Themedicinc is all prepared a present
under the personal supervision of DIR. Ed
son. who has furnished it gratis to eminent

Keane to Cardinal Satolli and his guest
the Marquis Sacripantl, in progress tbis
afternoon at the Catholic University.
McMahon Hall of Philosophy is in gala
attire TO receive the newly honored prince
Of the church and Leo's messenger, the
noble guard. In the main hail tall palms
and spreading Oleanders are hobn0bbing
together, and in every recess ferns, gladi-
Olis, and cut flowers add TO the festive
appearance.
At the end of the corridor the noble
statue of the Pope, the GIFT of Count Lou
bat, is gracefully hung with papal flags, and
the adjacent windows are dra ped in the deli
cate yellow and white pontIrical colors.
In assembly hall the cardinal began at 4
O'Clock receiving ms hundreds OF guests, and
shaking hands and saying a few words to
each. He was attlrcd in the customary
crimson flowing house robe, with short
lace surpiice and the heavy gold cross and
chain OF an archbishop suspended from ms
neck. Each Catholic guest. besides shak-
ing hands with the distinguished prelate,
kissed the episcopal ring ana received his
blessing.
The Marine Band, stationed behind an
embansment of palms ana flowers, was
the principal feature OF the entertainment.
In the main uining hail hight collation.

Bishop Keane issued about 200 inv-
tations to this event, and AL of Washington,
social, political and relis ious, Is there. In
vitations were sent tu Mrs. Cleveland and
all OF the Ca abinet ladies, and IL is expected
that several will respond.
The genial archbishop of Santa Fe, so
long pastor of ST. Matthew's here, was the
center OF a group of friends glad to well
come him to his old home. Nearly every
priest of Baltimore and Washington is hon
oriDg the OCCASION, and large number of
the arclibisuops and bishops who were pres
ent at Sundays ceremonies remained for
this occasion
The Marquis Sacripanti in his glittering
uniform was the object of much attention.
and great deal or disappointment Is ex-
pressed that his sojourn Will be so brief.
The professors of both halls are conspicu-
GUS in their philosophers gowns. The
committee in charge OF the entertainment
is Judge Robinson, DR.. Pace, Dr. Garrigan
and DIR. O'Gorman.

There was perceptible heightening Of

a Police Gazette in the chair to her right,
but she turned to the left and spoke as
calmly and unconcenedly as might be to
her escort, a gentleman who wore brown
business suit and appeared to be suffering
from an acute attack OF ennui.
She raised her black skirt to within half

Presently the job was done, and the

Preferably the asepsiB is injected into
the abdominal particles. When. for any
reason, this is madvisable, Dr. Edison
says he has injected it into the muscles
Of the back. Its action is more satisfac-
tory if it is absorbed slowly into the
circulation. The treatment is kept up for
at least thirty days after the disappeara nee
of the bacili.
In the case of maiarial infection the
mode OF administration is some what diff
fercnt. Two hundred minims of asepsin
should be injected in two injections into
the abdominal particles as an initial dose
the first day and 100 daily for seven
days, 100 every other day for seven days
and the same amount every third day until
three doses have been given. The iniec-
tions are then discontinued until the twenty
eighth day, when a single dose OF 100
miDims completes the treatment.
Physicians who have used asepsin have
made reports on the subject and these
will be contained insDr. Edson's report
one report states that the physician had
been called to attend a girl of eighteen
years who had developed consumpt ion.
The sputa was filled with bacilli and
the young woman was in state OF collapse.

Asepsin is "A gcrmicide. II is a pTepa-
ration OF nascent phenic acid. II is in
tended for the cure of diseases originating
from germ infection, particularly tuber-
culusis ni malaria. 1t may he injected
into the blood without producing any
local irritation or abscess- The beDc-
ficial effects or phenic acid and crcasote
when Administered by the mouth l." tuber-
culOus paticuts suggested To DR.. Edison
the idea Of preparing fluid containing
the acid In nasCent form which could lie
injected bypodermjcally without produc-
ing irritation and in sufficient quantity
to reinforce the system against germ fnva-
sion; or. in other words. to turn The scale
Of natural resistance in favor Of cure.
The treatment consists of inject ing
asepsin with a small hypodermic syringe.
DIR. Edison says that il is absolutely harm
less in the quantity prescribed by him.
He has taken a number of injections
himself. The only unpleasant symptoms
he has yet seen is that in some few in
dividuals small nonule will appear at
the points of injection. but this gradually
disappears.
DIR. Edison reports that the dosage in
case Of phthisis begins with from fifty TO
seventy mnims aud is increased ten minims
daily until 100 minims are given This
is kept up until the patient is cured. The
patient should be sprayed twice a day
with solution consisting of ten parts OF
iodoform and ninety parts of ether.
The evening times., 1896-01-07

As an illustration of the patients weak
ness, the report relates that in a walk
of seventy-five feet to a neighbor's house
she was compelled to stop md be supported
while suffering terrible paroxysm of
coughing. At a time when death seemed
very near, on October 26, asepsn came
into the physicians possession and was
at once applied.
The results obtained were rema rkable.
The entire system awoke in response to
the treatment. Night sweats ceased and
the patient slept soundly. The pains in
the chest disappeared and eathing became
easy.
The girl developed n natural appetite for
food within n few weeks. An examina ton
of the spnta showed n yapid disappearance
of the bacilli. First there was gain of two
poundsin n weight, thenfive and she continued
to improve until today she is nearly com
pletely cured.

DR.. Edison was asked last night If he
was the inventor Of asepsin.
II must decline to answer that question"
he said MY report will tell this. 1t will
also tell the formula of the remedy. At
present must not announce it. Yet, / will
give 1t to the public. 1 don't think l ought
