ERA OF
PROGRESS
Latest Projections in Medical
Science Used for the
CURE OF CONSUMPTION
The Koch Medical Institute Is the
Most Complete Establishment In
the World for the Treat.
ment and Cure of
tuberculosis

Progress, with all that the word in
plies, is thoroughly interviewer with the
closing years of this nineteenth century.
In every department of life its evidence
is so strongly apparent that its eff
fects have come to be taken quite as
matter of course, so much so that only
to those who take the time for intelli-
gent investigation and comparison does
this age of advancement really seem
to border closely upon the marvellous.
But a few short years ago the physi-
clan who would dare to assert that con-
sumption could be cured was deemed
visionary enthusiast, and yet today, here
in Los Angeles this dread disease is be-
ing so successfully treated and perma-
nently eradicated from hundreds of
pronounced cases that the improved
Tuberculin," which has brought DIR.
Charles H. Whitman and the Koch
Medical Institute into such enviable
prominence. appears to be the logical
sequence of this era of progress.
Not content with the success which has
marked every step taken by him In his
search for a remedy that would posi-
| lively cure tuberculosis, and the re-
| m rkabe cures that he Is constantly
effecting, Dr. Whitman has continued
his scientific inve stigation with the OBJ
ject of improving upon those methods
which the medical world has finally
| even if neutrality-suspicious. to be
far in advance of the times.
This latest progress. while primarily
along similar lines to those which have
now such we'll deserved praise for the
Koch Medical Institute and It's founder,
goes still further into the direct treat
ment of tubercular troubles, and espe-
cially to that particular phase of the dis
, ease known as Laryngeal tuberculosis,
or more commonly called throat con-
sumption
| 1t is we'll known fact that the major
| ity of people who are afflicted with con-
sumption have accompanying catarrhal
| troubles and that this distressing COM
| plant has been the primary cause of
| later and more serious complications,
usually resulting In a diseased condi-
| ton of the mucous membrane and stub
| born1y resisting the generally applied
| methods of treatment
Being convinced that the so-called di-
rect method used by many physicians did
| not of itself possess any curative proper
| ties, and could not effect a permanent
cure through its inability to destroy the
bacilli. DIR. Whitman has pursued his
| Investigations with the object of perfect
| ing an apparatus which would convey
medicated ozone directly to the diseased
| parts of the larynX and through the re-
| lief thus afforded from irrita ton to ma Ike
| it possible for him to use the Improved
Tuberculin directly upon the liberated
portions of the throat, and to cure not
only all catarrhal troubles but to thor
oughly eradicate every trace of tuhercu-
losis which mayHexist instf1e entire sys-
tenn "fi .F
This apparatus DR.. Whitman has at
last perfected end is now putting It to
| daily practical use in his treatment of
| pulmonary troubles, and while he does
! not claim that this new method of in
| fusing medicated ozone into the larnyX
will cure consumption, he does claim,
and Justly so, that 1t is certainly pew
erful adjunct to the more direct applica-
| ton of his famous remedy, Improved
| Tuberculin. and with this object in view
he has provided the Koch Medical Insti-
tute with the most progressive mechan-
! ism that medical skill and science could
| evolve, believing that in Fastening the
cure of the many who are now coming
| to him for treatment for consumption,
| It is necessary to have every appliance
that can possibly aid in his great work.
1t is an accepted fact that the Kocl,
| Medical Institute Is now one of the most
| perfectly appointed establishments in
| the known world for the scientific treat
| ment and certain cure of consumption.
This is proven by the large number of
| patients who have taken thorough
| course of treatment there and who un-
| hesitatingly and gratefully acknowledge
| that they are completely cured.
! The following testimonials are but a
few of the many from those who have
! found health restored and life prolonged
| through the use Of DR.. Whitman's I'M
! proved Tuberculin:
LOS ANGELES, Cal, Feb. 25, 1897
DR.. c. H. Whitman:
| Dear Sir--It is from feeling of graf
itude to you, and through sympathy for
those suffering from consumption, that
l write this. Being averse to public no
teriety I could not bear the thought of
such publicity If it were not for the pos
sible fact that my testimony may be the
means of saving life by inducing 9TH
ers who are suffering from that dreadful
disease-consumpti avail them
selves of the opportunity offered by you
| at the Koch Medical Institute, and get
| cured.
1 speak from experience, having been
| afflicted with tuberculosis. I consulted
the best physicians in the city, but failed
to receive even relief. Friends advised
me to consult you. I did so, and began
taking your Improved Tuberculin treat
ment, continuing it for just eight weeks.
| when l was completely cured and am
now perfectly we'll. will cheerfully an
swer any inquiries concerning the ben
efits l have received and hope every one
suffering from consumption will take
| advantage of this opportunity to get
cured. Respectfully yours,
| MRS. C. L. WHITNEY,
