USE OF GOATS LYMPH.
Startling Results Predicted for a New
Discovery.

Il regard it as the discovery of the
nineteenth century and l predict that
before very long it will be used in
every hospital in New York"
The above remark was made by DR..
r. w. Steger in an interview concern
ing the goats lymph compound of DR..
Roberts, of Chicago, and the case of
insanity it recently cured.
DR.. Steger is one of two physicians
in Greater New York who have been
using the lymph in their regular prac-
tice. He has just been elected presi-
dent Of the Roberts Medical So
ciety, an organization named for the
discoverer of the lymph. The So
ciety has arranged for the publica-
ton of a medical journal for the ex-
tension of the Roberts treatment
throughout the country. DR.. Fred
erick Holden, of Brooklyn, who has
been associated with Dr. Steger in the
use of the lymph, has been elected
secretary, and DR.. Joseph r. Hawley,
director of the institute in Chicago
that has perfected DR.. Roberts lymph,
has been appointed editor.
The lymph is drawn from the lynn
phatic glands spleen and other or
gans of goats, and is injected beneath
the skin of patients. DR.. Steger de-
clares that if put into general use
it would undoubtedly cure at least 40
per cent. of the cases of insanity in the
country.
Il have been using the lymph for
two months" said DR.. Steger, land
the results l have obtained from it are
simply remarkable. In fact, l hest
tate to speak of many of the cures that
have come under my observation for
fear that other physicians will think
/ am eXaggerating.
The lymph, in the first place, is
designed to effect cures in cases OF
chronic rheumatism, locomotor ataxia
and premature old age.
1t is designed to build up men who
have lived too fast and have become
old before their time. Introduced into
the system the lymph invigorates the
exhausted cells and restores and in.
creaSes power and strength. The
lymph has even been known to cure
consumption in the early stages, al
though l have had no cases of this
sort and cannot testify as to that
The idea is that the lymph builds
up the system by restoring the diseas
ed tissue. The cells that are kept il
healthy state coming in contact will
the cells that have deteriorated build!
up the latter. Probably the most i'm
portant case l have had and the on,
that would occasion most surprise wa
one of locomOtor ataxia. The patien
had not been able to walk for two
years Control of all the muscles o
the body had been lost.
Il used the lymph for several week
and there was marked Improvement
l continued its use, and the last
knew of the case the patient Wake,
to my office.
Il have had 15 cases of locomoto
ataXia, and every one has showl
marked improvement. The lymph will
cure many chronic diseases ordinaril
considered incurable The difficult
with the lymphs that have been ex
perimented with heretofore is tina
they have all been made from dea
tissue.
That was the trouble with d.
BrownSequard's Elixir of Life. Dr.
Roberts lymph is made from Twin
tissue. 1t is we'll known that bloc
corpuscles removed from living ,lssu
can be kept animate and can be trans
