Near Arayat-Report from Otis.
Manila, Oct. 21.-General Young has

running fights in and out Of Cabiao in
q pouring rain all day. The Twenty
second infantry, the Fourth cavalry
and Batson's Macabebes, with Tay-

IRENE difficulty. The launches and
supplies were not located by BatSOn
until Wednesday night.
Captured Fifty Prisoners.
Batson had a fight lasting an hour
on the left bank of the river. He capt
ured fifty prisoners and two officers.
The American loss was one killed and
three wounded. All the casualties were
in the Twenty-second infantry. Gen.
eral Pic del Pillar commanded the Fill
ipino forces in person. The natives
report that their losses in officers are
very great. The engineer corps Is
building bridges that will permit of
rapid advance. This message is sent
by a Macabebe scout to Arayat.
Batson's Macabebes, at 10 o'clock
In the morning, met two companies of
the insurgents strongly intrenched
four miles north Of Arayat. The Mac
abebes fianked them and drove them
out of the trenches, killing six and
wounding many. One lieutenant and
eight soldiers drove them three miles
to Santarita, only one Macabebe being
mortally wounded. Their first engage
ment the Macabebes carried off brill

powdered in an agate mortar and
theh extracted with s%ulphuric ether.
IHis extraction removes the fats. They
are again died and powdered as before
and their further extraction takes place
in sterillzed distilled water over a water
path with a temperature of 100 F. The
protelds becoming dissolved in the dis
titled water, the fluid is then decanted
and uttered through porcelain, when
thnally the amount of proteids is deter
mined and the preparation standardized
to a certain per cent"
Dr. Won Ruck's detailed description of
the results obtained by the use of this
WaterY Extract is equally as inter-
eStlng. In the case of patients in the
early stages of the disease all who have
been treated have recovered. In more
advanced cases out of 81, 81 recovered,
IN ten the disease was arrested, and none
grew worse. In cases in the seriously
advanced stage of those treated only
w have died, a record that certainly
goes to prove that the discoverer has
not overestlmated the value of his rem
edy.
Another marvellous result attained by
the "Watery Extract has been the COM
plete cure of tuberculosis of the heart.
UP to this time the cure of this disease
mas been regarded as impossible by
physicians, as no instance of it's cure
has ever been reported in the annals of
medicine. The treatment of this case
by DIR. Won Ruck was largely a matter
of experiment., but it was entirely sue
%cessful, and this established the fact
that the "Watery Extract may be used
with success in the cure of tuberculosis
in any part of the body.
Unlike many scientists who have sue
ceeded in making great discoveries DIR.
Non Ruck has made no secret of the
nature of his remedy Marvellous as it
is he has given it to the world for the
benefit of humanity. Many physicians
of repute in various parts of the coun-
tract with good results, and in his
articles in the "Therapeutic Gazette and
other standard medical periodicals he
gives full directions for the use of the
remedy so that it will not be his fault
if death from consumption in this coun-
try at least is not reduced to a mini
mum. What makes the remedy more
valuable for general use is that climatic
conditions play no part in the cure
which, in itself, takes but about three
months.
What this means to the world, only
those who nave been placed in a position
where they could judge of the widespread
suffering caused by this terrible disease
can realize and if the future use of this
new remedy will but bear out the attest
ed experiments of the past DR.. Won Ruck
will be entitled to rank among the great
est discoveries that the world has even
known. f. STRANGE, NJ. d.

has been accorded to any of the discov-
cries in the past. He said that he has
taken the theory of DR.. Koch at the
point where he has admitted his failure
and has carried it on to a successful Gull
minatlon. He asserts that where "Tuber-
culine" succeeded in curing but SO per
cent, of it's patients his cures have eX-
ceeded 81 per cent, and the medical
world, skeptical as it always is in re-
gard to new discoveries, is inclined to
admit that the remedy for the positive
cure for consumption has at last been
Ound.
The method of the production of the
"Watery Extract is very interesting.
DR.. Won Ruck describes it as follows:
THE tubercle bacilli are filtered out
of the rapidly growing and highly viru-
lent culture. After washing with dis
titled water for the removal of the re-
mains of the culture fluid, they are dried
in a vacuum dessicator. Next they are

All these years DR.. Won Ruck was at
work. quietly but persistently carrying
on his experiments upon the theories
that he himself has formed.
A student and great admirer of DIR.
Koch he worked from a love of science,
e%xpending the whole of the income from
his practice in the carrying out of his
experiments. At first his attention was
given wholly to animals. He inoculated
guinea pigs with the germs of con-
sumption, and those that he treated with
his remedy were completely cured while
the others died. In 1897 he announced
the discovery of the remedy which he
called "Tuberculinum Purifcatum.'
Like the discoveries that had preceded
it the 'Tuberculinum Purificatum' was
successful to a degree only, 43 per cent,
being cured, but DR.. Won Ruck was not
satisfied. He had proved that the cura-
tive properties were contained in the cul-
ture fluid, but it was just as evident that
there was a limit to their power and 1t
was this that suggested to him that IN the
bodies of the bacilli alone was contained
the remedy for the disease. Even before
he had announced the discovery of his
''Tuberculinum Purifcatum," DR.. Won
Ruck was making the experiments that
he hoped would establish the correctness
of his theory. For more than three years
he has continued these Investigations,
and the care that he has given to the
matter has compelled the medical world
to admit that his statement that his
"Watery Extract of Tubercle Bacilli," as
the new remedy is called, is a positive
cure for consumption as worthy of theil
attention.
If DR.. Won Ruck had been a quack

"A treatment for consumption that will
prove a complete and permanent cure
has been the Wi~ll-o'-the-wisp hat science
has Vainly pursued for many years. Ever
since the day when the famous German
scientist, DR.. Koch, announced the dis
covery Of the germ of consumption and
proceeded to produce the evidence that
satisfied the medical world that the dis
ease was produced by a living micro-or-
ganism, the efforts of the greatest minds
of the century have been centered upon
one object-the finding Of some substance
that would completely destroy the living,
death-producing germs without injury to
the body of the patient.
Many and varied ave been the RENE
dies projected. Dr.. Murphy of Chicago
proposed treatment by the inhalation
of nitrogen. DR.. Hirschfelder of San
Francisco claimed that consumption could
be cured by the injection of veal bouil-
lon lymph. DR.. Pepper of Philadelphia
has advocated the use of iodine, carbolic
acid and germicides, directly injected
into the lungs, and now DR.. Benedickt of
Vienna has appeared as the advocate of
the Tesla electrical ray as the only means
of destroying the germs within the hui
man organism.

the disease. DR.. Koch began his expert
ments along these lines, but it was 1890
before he announced that he had found
a remedy in what he called his "Tuber-
culine." DR.. Koch's theory was that
the curative principle was transmitted
by the germs to the fluid upon which
they had grown. That DR.. Koch was not
entirely wrong in his theory was shown
by the fact that SO per cent, of the pa
TENTS who We're treated with "Tubercul-
ine' was cured. A few years later Prof.
klebs produced his "Antipthisin and
Tuberculocidine," and in 1897 Dr.. Koch
announced that he had found a more eff
icacious remedy which he called 'Tuber-
culine r." 'Tuberculine F" differed
from the crude ''Tuberculine' in that it
contained fragments and in many cases
whole bodies of the germs and was finally
withdrawn by the inventor Oh account of
the danger from infection that might re-
suit from it's use.

ITS FORMULA IS NO SECRET.

dreds of thousands of persons are dying
every year of this, the most dreaded of
all human ills.
Just at this moment, however, when
even DR.. Koch, who has long been recog-
nized as one of the greatest of the au-
thorities on germ diseases, has admitted
that he had been unsuccessful in his eff
forts to destroy the germs of tuberculosis
and that his theory of the cure of the con
sumption had failed of it's purpose, the
news has come out from the south of a
| cure that is not only a theory but a posi-
tive fact. 1t is not a new theory, the
dream of a scientific mind gone mad in
the vain search after the impossible, but
a remedy that has been tried again and
again upon hundreds of patients and un-
der all conceivable circumstances, before
it has been given to the world. DR.. Karl
Won Ruck is the discoverer of this new
remedy, and the proof of his success is
based upon the record of the scores of
patients that have been treated by him,
for in almost every instance the disease
has been conquered and the germs de-
increased until today, it is estimated,
stroyed.
To fully understand the nature of DR..
Won Ruck's discovery it is necessary to
go back to DR.. Koch. When this great
