WALES PHYSICIAN
ON CONSUMPTION
Sir William BrOadbent Says COnsnmp.
ton Is Contagious and Durable
Not Necessarily Hereditary.
AGREES WITH SLOCUM METHODS
At Meeting in London the Prince Of Wales
Physician Fully Confirms DR.. SlOCum'S
Teachings on This Disease.

LONDON, Jan. GA meeting Of the Ma
tional Society for the Prevention of Con-
sumption and other forms of tubercular dis
eases held at Marlborough House, Dee 20,
was presided over by the Prince of Wales,
and addressed by Lord Salisbury and Sir
William Broadbent, physician to the Prince
of Wales
DR.. Broadbent adheres to the view that
consumption is not necessarily hereditary,
but a contagious disease and is therefore
durable by a treatment which will destroy
the germs and build up the system.
He thus agrees with DR.. Slocum in every
particular and his address is a practical
Endorsement of the system of treatment fol-
lowed out so successfully by this we'll
known Anglo-American practitioner.
DR.. Slocum felt sure when he first an
nounced his theory. based on scientific ex-
periments and practice, that consumption
is a. germ disease and not necessarily a
hereditary faint, that the whole medical
world would in time acknowledge that he
was right
In Sir William Broadbent DR.. Socum has
an ally who will be of great assistance in
teaching the people the real nature of con-
sumption, its prevention and it's cure.
The first thing necessary. as these two
germs of the disease-and then the strength
ening and building up of the system.
This is just the theory upon which the
DR.. Slocum New Treatment for Consump-
ton, Lung Weakness and the Grip. is
based. The germs of consumption, grip,
etc, enter the body through the nose and
mouth in breathing. and pass down the
respiratory canal to the lungs
DR.. SlOcums medicines disnfeCt the sys-
TEN from the nostrils TO the deepest pas
sages of the lungs, both by contact with
the mucous membrane and through the
blood, thus killing the germs. His medi-
cines also furnish food with which to build
up the wasted tissues, and fortify the sys-
tenn against renewed attacks of the terrible
microbes.
1t was announced at this meeting in Lon
don, referred to above that Wernher &
Belt. the South African financers and
diamond mine owners had given 100000 for
the erection of Sanitarium for Consump-
The thousands of Americans who are using
this famous system, and the thousands who
have been cured by ii, will be interested in
the fact that the scientific principles, en-
bodied in the Doctor Slocum New System OF
Ireatment, have been so highly Endorsed
sician to the royal family.
DR.. Slocum's offer to send free medicine
to sufferers from these dreadful germ dis
eases has at last borne fruit. and others
are beginning to join with him in the work
of Kidding the world of its greatest and
most dangerous scourge.
He will still continue the distribution Of
the three free bottles comprising the COM
plete course of his new system Of treatment
SO universally known as a positive cure for
all diseases of throat and lungs

sumption, grip, weak lungs, catarrh, or any
