Albuquerque daily citizen. [volume] (Albuquerque, N.M.) 1895-1903, 1898-02-10

1t will be cheering and encouraging
news to the people OF this city and sur
rounding country to learn that DR.. W. A..
Sheppard, Of Elgin, ILL.,, who has devoted
a lifetime to the treatment aud cure Of
consumption. has established a perma.
nent office in Albuquerque. and II Is
located on the irst floor OF the CONNER.
cial Club building. DR.. Shephard's main
Office Is now In Denver, and he has
selected DR.. Il. W. Sutcliffe, whom he re.
CARDS as the most capable Of his corps OF
physicians, TO have charge Of the Office in
this city. That Dr. Sutcliffe is eminently
qualified for the position will be seen
from the tact that Dr. Sheppard gave him
entire charge Of the Denver office while
they were treating 100 patients. DR.. SUIT
cliffe is a graduate Of the Rush Medical
College, OF Chicago, the College OF Ply
sicians and Surgeons, OF the same city,
and the Chicago Homeopathic college.
After graduation he was Instructor In
Rush on the diseases OF the nose, throat
and lungs.
DR.. Sheppard selected him above all
others for this post for the reason that
he expects the Office In Albuquerque will
become In time the most important Of
any In the United States. Dr. Sheppard
knows from personal experience the
highly beneficial qualities Of New Mex
leo climate and that the dread disease OF
consumption can be treated here better
than In Colorado or In fact any other
place In the whole country. He is al
ready making preparations 70 send a
number Of patients from the north to
this city for treatment.
Owing to the deep and widespread In
terest manifested by our readers In the
Sheppard treatment, whose almost mi
rsculous cures of consumption have been
heralded abroad by the Associated Press,
a reporter Of The CITIZEN called on DR..
II. W. Sutcline and b. II. Loyeless, who
Is DR.. Shephard's business manager for
the southwest, at their commOdiOus Of
ices In the Commercial Club building,
and asked them for the history and the
nature Of Or. shephard's method Of cur
ing consumption.
The gentlemen very accommodatlngly
complied and the following facts were
learned:
Consumption was hereditary In DR..
Shephard's family, and he himself was
affected with the disease. He thus ON
menced early to study II In the hope OF
discovering some cure for II and has
practically made II a life study. The
treatment he now uses was not developed
until when, in New Mexico. he wa try
ing TO get rid OF the disease In his own
system. In studying the effect OF a high
altitude on the disease, he concluded that
1t could only at best be temporarily cured
by the effect OF altitude, for the reason
that, while patients seemed TO get we'll,
the disease remained In their lungs and
would break out as soon as they were ex-
posed to low attitudes again. He then
began experimenting with u view
OF healing diseased lungs per-
fectly and permanently. He sue.
ceeded in doing this by the use of an
instrument, which he invented at the
time, together with certain combinations
OF remedies used with the instrument,
which is called u spirometer.
The principle on which 1t operates
sets the lungs into activity In all the
cells, SO that the action OF each cell may
be normal and healthful and the vitaliz-
ing air reach every diseased part, nc
matter how small. This air il medicated
by means OF the spirOmeter, and the med
icines, which are varied 80 as 10 adapt
them 10 each case and 10 the different
stages OF the disease, come In actual con
tact with the unsOund tissues. These two
principleso Of the treatment must COM
mend themselves to every one,whO has a
knowledge OF the structure and function
Of the lung. First, the introduction OF
air into every diseased cell In all the
affected parts. Second, the touch OF the
medicines to the very parts to be healed.
rhe properties Of the medicines them.
selves are adapted to removing the dis
eased tissue, to assist In slOughing II of
and then to healing the part relieved,
leaving the lung In a sound and healthy
condition.
This being the theory and history of
the treatment, the reporter inquired how
1t had resulted In practice for the reason
that many beautiful theories fall to
pieces when practically tested. II any.
thing were wanting TO give one faith In
the efficacy of the treatment as a cure
for consumption In its first and second
stages, and sometimes In the last stage,
1t would be removed with the perusal OF
the large number Of written testimonials
which a be seen at the office In this
city.
