TESLA HAS A PANAcEA
A Startling Proposal to Destroy
Bacilli.
HE WILL USE ELECTRICITY
Millions of Volts to Be Applied to Per-
sons Afflicted This Tremendous
Current VIII Not Pass
Through the Body.

New York Jan. 22-Nikola Tesla.
whose boldness in conceiving astonish-
Ing uses ITO which electricity may be
put has given the scientific world sur
prises from time to time, has a new
proposal, and one which will arouse
widespread interest and comment.
He now proposes to destroy the basil
Ii of all diseases by applying millions of
volts of electricity to persons afflicted.
The tremendous force is to be applied in
such a manner that. the vital organs
will be free from harmful effects and SO
that the bacilli will be drawn from the
system.
The tremendous current which Tesla
proposes to apply will not be sent
through the body, as in the cases of
persons executed by electricity, but will
run along the surface.
The new plan for destroying disease
germs, including even those of con-
sumption, was outlined recently in an
exhaustive paper which the electrician
read before the Electro-T Therapeutic So
ciety, and created deep interest.
1t had been supposed that Tesla'e feat
In generating current of $4,000 volts
announced some time ago, was the lin
it, but he said last evening that the
cure proposed involved the use of mil
lions of volts, applied in such a man
ner as not only to not harm the pa
tient but to remove from his system all
the bacilli lodged there and renew his
store of energy.
The matter became public yesterday,
when in dispatches from Washington it
was announced thataa New York law
yer was filing with the patent office the
papers necessary to protect the discov-
cry. Mr.. Tesla said yesterday that he
had applied for no patent and that no
one was acting for him in that respect,
but he added that the news contained
in the Washington dispatches was prob
ably based upon new features in the
use of electricity of which he treated in
the paper he read recently in this city.
