NEW HOPE FOR CONSERVATIVES.
Investigations of the Medical Institute in
Paris-Great Progress is Reported.

A highly important therapeutic expert
ment has been progressing silently dur
ing the last few months at the Medical
Institute, Rue de la Boetie, Paris. From
the results already obtained it seems that
tuberculosis attacked vigorously by a
rational treatment is about to capitulate,
and in scientific circles the idea is grow
ing that in comparatively short time
the terrible malady will sbe.. eradicated. At
all events, it is beyond question that
henceforth consumpttves in the first and
second degrees can be restored to health.
There is nothing mysterious about the
method now employed. It consists pure
ly of the simultaneous application Of
three methods we'll known to the medical
faculty, the individual results of which
have already proved satisfactory. These
methods are formaldehyde inhalations,
simultaneous injections of serum of goat s
blood, with the addition of static cleo
trio bath. The antiseptic power of formic
aldehyde is we'll known. In the opinion
of the specialists in tuberculosis it's action
upon the Koch bacillus is decisive. The
difficulty, which was at first considered
insurmountable, lay in its application. 1t
is known that the inhalation of formic
vapors in the pure state provokes violent
coughing and intolerable irritation of the
mucous mem hrane. Consequently it is
dangerous to put delicate and siokly res
piratory organs under their Inicrobean
toxity. Therefore it became necessary to
discover sort Of go between method, and
one of the discoveries of the Medical In
stitute of Paris is the Introduction of a
combination Of formaldehyde and car
bonic acid gas, an anaesthetic whose as
ISOLATION renders possible daily 1nhala-
tions of twenty five minutes or more.
The bacillus of Koch, combated directly
in the caverns where it thrives prolitoaly
rapidly loses it's vitality and ceases to
multiply in a short lapse of time. The
debi htating appropriations diminish, and
the patient experiences marked improve
ment. E8e
The readers of the Figaro have notIfor-
gotten the impassioned debates to which
the discovery of simultaneous injections
gave rise. 1t is now admitted that their
dynamic action is considerable, and that
the simple method of introducing by the
hypodermic method few centimetres of
distilled water in the human economy
produces an increase of vital force. If,

A LIFE OF SIN.
Annie Blythe Ends a Degraded Care or In q

Annie Blythe Ends Degraded Care or In
Denver Howell.
A tragic story of wayward life, life
of deepest vice and sin, came to light
yesterday with the mysterious death of
Annie Blythe, formerly a well known
Boulder girl. To the lowest depths
of degradation she followed the
path, her career ending in a Denver
hovel. where she had been consorting
with negroes. The cause Of her death is
unknown, but the negro with whom she
lived is now held on a charge of being
responsible.
The beginning of her career began in
Boulder some years ago when as pretty
girl she was known as somewhat gay
character. The horse whipping of a
well known young man by her mother
for too intimate relations with her form
ed chapter in the story at that time.
Later she was married to Sam Spies, a
fireman on the narrow guage. About a
year after the PAIR moved to Leadville,
where the woman began drinking. Dis
sipation soon led to divorce and she
removed to Denver. There her career
has been steadily downward. the vilest
dissipation being her constant occupa-
ton. But few weeks ago she was
brought to Boulder by her mother, at the
termination of Jail sentence, but she
remained only few days. On her re.
turn to Denver her life became wilder
and more abandoned, ending in her
death yesterday morning.
Mrs. Mary Blythe. the bereaved mother
of the girl, went over to Denver this
morning to attend to the interment of
her remains.
