DR.. 0'NEILL'S CURE.
Doctors Discuss His New Treatment
For Consumption.
The Most Remarkable System Of the Age Il
II Proves Practical

New York. April 13, 1S99.-Much in
terest is excited in medical circles by
the announcement of a new cure for
consumption and other germ diseases.
recently discovered by Prof. IL. Glib
son O'Neill of No. IL West Thirty
ninth street.
The cure is accomplished by the OPEN
ing OF the pores of the body so that aC-
tinic rays of light may permeate the
tissues where the germs are at work
by the generation of naScent ozone in
the patients respiratory tract. and
by the destruction of all baCiili by
means OF high-tension currents of elec-
tricity. The theory is oxidation, cell
growth with nutrition.
DR.. T.. &. Spitzka declared that If the
discovery were as represented It. would
prove of the greatest value TO the bu-
man race.
Men have for years been expert
menting with electricity with a view 10
accomplishing, this end, but so far
nothing has come of ii. The trouble
has been this: That enough electricity
could not be used To kill the germs
without causing the death of the pa
tient. III does not seem possible that
any cure can have been found for germ
disease. Still il may be "a fact

BOSTON CLEARING HOUSE.

At nesting of representatives of the
various banks of the city Thursday the
matter Of having the collections for Maine
made through the Boston clearing house
was discussed and 1t was decided to give
this plan trial. 1t has been suggested
that Portland be made the clearing house
point from this state but this Is somewhat
hampered at present for the fact that
Portland has not yet been made a
reserve" city. The census to be taken
next year will undoubtedly show that
Portland has a population of 60, 600 which
will entitle the various national banks
Of the state to keep their reserves in this
city, rather than in q larger one outside
Of the state. aud there Is not much doubt
that the clearing houss for this stnte will
ultimately be located here. Boston is now
the clearing house point for Massachu-
sets and Connecticut and desires TO be-
come SO for all of New England.
