LYMPH GIVES NEW LIFE.
New York Physicians Get Good Re-
suits from the Discovery.

Two physicians Of Greater New York
are experimenting with lymph from the
glands of goats. which has been prepared
by DR.. 3. L. Roberts of Green City, Mo.
The lymph was the topic of many discus
sions in medical circles recently, when its
discoveries asserted that it had the power
of curing many ills and OF introducing
new life into the feeble and suffering. 1t
was announced to the public as the latest
discovery toward the elixir OF life which
the celebrated DR.. Brown-Sequard sought
after so indefatigably but vainly in the
declining years of his life.
While no claim is made by the two
New York physicians who are using the
fluid that it gives youth to the aged, one
of them, who has employed it in the cases
of eighteen patients, declares that the re-
suits have been remarkably successful,
and that the lymph will be among the
browning medical triumphs of the cen
fury. Dr. Frederick G.. Holden of "a
Plaza avenue, Brooklyn, is the physician
who declares that he lymph has worked
wonders amoug eighteen patients. Some
of the patients, he says. have been cured
of chronic ailments, which had dehed the
efforts of physicians for years. He de-
clares that it is particularly effective III
lOcOmOtOr ataXla cases.
Dr. Holden became interested In the
lymph last May. He took q trip to chi
cago during that month in order to watch
the experiments with the fluid. At first
he was highly skeptical, but soon real
lied, be declares, that the preparation
was healing i'll persons, whose cases had
been considered practically beyond cure
He says that he saw cases of chronic
rheumatism, diabetes. lOcomotOr ataXia
and other ailments gradually improve I'M
der treatment. He decided to be instruct
ed in the use of the lymph. The in
10 1.1J-c q returned
to Brooklyn fully convinced that the
lymph was of great value. A sufficient
quantity of the fluid to treat ten cases
was sent to him. He began to work
with it in June, since which time the
lymph has either wholly cured or inn
proved his patients: He injected, it sub
cutaneously into his wife and himself
The result has been, he asserts, that his
wife has treble the power Of endurance
and that he has been materially benefit
ed.
DR.. Roberts process is the transplanta-
ton of life cells from the Emphatic
glands of goats into the human system
sible to rejuvenate wornout human
bodies with the aid of goats "a skillful
gardener" said DR.. Holden ''can carry
life cells from one plant to another But
scientists agree that the higher the or
ganism the greater the difficulty of cell
he has been at work on this idea of cell
transportation for thirty years. He
contends that lymph increases the rich
ness of the blood; it increases the activ-
ity and function of the whole blood cells;
it causes an increased elimination of the
waste products of the body, such as dis
eased cells, foreign accumulations and
poisonous excretions. 1t is a positive
specific against the poisons of rheuma-
tism and the results of rheumatism.
Acute rheumatism is not benefited,
neither is any other acute disease. It has
not failed to cure functional diseases of
the nervous system. In organic diseases
due to sclerosis or overgrowth of con-
nected tissue the curative results have
been incomplete in few and few in
majority of cases treated.
I'm the 1900 cases treated by the
lymph there has not been a single death
since the experiments began, more than
year ago. The lymph is administered
simultaneously by hypodermic syringes.
DIR. Roberts is not follower of Dr.
BrownSequard. He does not say he has
discovered the fountain of youth"
