ABLE CURE
Quick Consumption Yields to
Treatment by "Impr0ved
Tuberculin." A Testimonial
Showing What HAS Been
Done at the Koch Medical
Institute in Curing Cases
Given up by Other Doctors.

The appended testimonial of young
| lady recently cured by the improved
tuberculin'' treatment illustrates well
| what can be done by this new and
| wonderful specific in the cure of that
| dreaded disease, consumption. This par
| ticular instance the physicians OF the
| Koch Medical Institute consider one of
| the most wonderful of all their many
cures. and are proud to be able to point
| to such monument of the power of i'm
proved tubsrculin" when administered
| by skillful hands.
| This is only one of many cures of the
| disease consumption, which so many
| people have been led to believe is in
durable This one case alone ought to
be sufficient to establish the fact that
consumption is durable. but when such
cures can be pointed out and numbered
by the scores the durability of consump-
ton becomes incontrOvertible.
1t IS true that in the hands of most
physicians and by all the ordinary means
of treatment the disease generally re-
mains unconQuered. but it is also true
that in the hands of the expert physicians
of the Koch Medical Institute the dis
ease is generally durable, unless indeed
it is too far advanced when application
for treatment is made.
Everybody afflicted with tuberculosis,
or having friends so afflicted, should in
vestigate the work being done at this in
stitute. 1t costs nothing to investigate.
and IL found as represented and treat
ment is begun. the afflicted person will
never be sorry, but on the contrary will
be restored to health and usefulness
Ample opportunity to investigate will
be afforded all who are interested. Con-
