CONSUMPTION TREATMENT,
Success of a French Physician With
Essential OiIs-His Formula.

Success of a French Physician With
Essential OiIs-His Formula.
Consul Atwell, at ROubaix, France,
has transmitted to the state depart
ment at Washington an article by DR..
MendeI, the French tuberculosis eX-
pert, on his treatment of consumption
by the use of essential oils. This is q
subject which aroused considerable in
terest among physicians in the United
States owing to an earlier and more
meager report from Consul Atwell,
says the st. Louis Republic. The pres
ent report is sent at the request of the
state department.
DR.. Mendel says that his treatment is
based upon the antagonistic effect that
certain essential oils were observed to
have on the germs of tuberculosis. His
formula is as follows: Five grams of
essence of thyme. essence of eucalyp-
tus and essence of cinnamon, 100 cubic
centimeters of steriliZed olive oil, five
grams of iodoform and one-fifth of
gram of bromoform.
The physician uses a long. curved
collin syringe. containing three cubic
centimeters of this solution, which is
emptied three or four times consecu-
lively into the tracheal duct. A mir
ror was at first used to guide the in
PRODUCTION of the syringe to the throat,
but with practice this was discarded.
The treatment was given daily to %
patients in all three stages of the dis
ease. The results were encouraging
in all cases but one, this patient, in
the third stage. dying. but being re-
lieved of much pain and discomfort I'm
his last days. a detailed statement of
results is given, which is of interest to
physicians.
