many discussions in medical circles re-
Gently, 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 10 the public as the
latest step toward the discovery Of an
elixir of life, which the celebrated DR..
Browns equard sought after so indetau-
gable. but vainly, in the declining years
of his lie.
While no claim is made by the two
physicians of this city who are using
the fluid that it gives youth to the aged.
one of them, who has employed 1t In the
cases of eighteen patients, declares that
the results have been remarkably sue
cessfui and that the lymph will be among
the crowning medical triumphs OF the
country.
