GOOD SUGGESTION.
Physicians Should Pool Their Issues
 and Erect a Sanitarium.
Phoenix. Arizona. May II, 1ss

Phoenix, Arizona, May Il. 1898.
 Editor Republican: l am not much of hand to write letters to the news papers, but an idea has come to my mind which it seems to me ought to be made public. This community es- pecially in the winter time is just filled with consumptives, most Of whom get no permanent relief. For several years I have been one of the 'lungerS'' and know how it is myself. I came here a year or so ago seeking help and as long as l stayed here l felt better. but as soon as l went Dack east the old trouble came back Wo1se than ever. I returned to Phoenix this winter and finally ran across what I have besn locking for TOT years. l have taken a six weeks course Of the Pneumo-C -Chemic treatment and am now told that 1 am cured. The bacilli have all disappeared from my sputum, and I am now told that I can go to any climate without fear of a return of the disease. I know feel as well as I ever did in my life and believe that I have received a radical cure.
 Naturally, I have told numerous friends and acquaintances of my eX-
 perience. Some of them are trying the Pneumo- Chemic treatment and are getting the same benefit have received. A good many of them, however, decline to try it, and upon in- uuiry I find the reason is that they have consulted their individual physi- cians. and the doctors have condemned the treatment without knowing any thing about it. On the other hand, 1
 find that several of the physicians of the city who are not interested have carefully investigated this treatment
 and all who have done so state de-
 cidedly that it accomplishes results that could not possibly be expected with any other known remedies. Now I know that all men are more or less selfish, and I suppose physicians are no exception to the rule. 1 understand, too, that a good deal of the income of Phoenix doctors comes from their consumptive patients, and it would, 1 suppose, be too much to expect them deliberately to cut off their own in come by telling their tuberculosis pa tients in the earlier stages of the dis ease that they can do nothing for them No one will claim that the medical fraternity Is at all proud of their success with consumption I have a suggestion to make in the name of humanity, by which hundreds and thousands of tuberculosis pa tients can be thoroughly cured of the terrible disease, without any money sacrifice on the part of Phoenix phy- sicians. The Pneumo-Chemic treat ment has been thoroughly tested and it's ability to accomplish what is claimed for it demonstrated beyond reasonable question. There is not a person who has tried it this winter in the Phoenix sanitorium who has not inside of week plainly felt decided
