81 regard it as the discovery Of the
nineteenth century, and l predict that
before very long Il VIII be used in every
hospital in News York"
The above remark was made BY DR.. r.
W Steger in an interview concerning the
goats lymph compound of Dr. Roberts
OF Chicago and the case Of insanity IL
recently cured
DR.. Steger is one of two physicians in
Greater New York who have been using
the lymph IN their regular practice He
has just been elected president Of the
Roberts Medical society. an organization
named for the discOVerer of the lymph.
The society has arranged for the publi-
cation Of a medical journal for the ex-
tension Of the Roberts treatment through
out the country. DR.. Frederick Holden
OF Brooklyn, who has been associated
with Dr. Steger in the use Of the lymph
has been elected secretary, and L. 10
SeDh R Hcwley, director Of the institute
IN CnIcagO mat has perfected Dr.. Rob-
erts' lymph, has been appointed editor
Inc lymph is drawn from the Emphatic
glands, spleen and other organs of goats
and is injected beneath the skin of pa
TENTS. Dr.. Steger declares that if put
into general use il would undoubtedly
cure at last 70 per cent Of the cases OF IN
sanity in the country.
I have been using the lymph for two
months, said DR.. Steger, and the re-
suits l have Obtained from il are simply
remarkable IN fact. I hesitate 10 sDeak
or many Of the cures that have come
under my observation for fear that other
physicians VIII think l am eXaggera ting
The lymph, in the first place, is de-
signed 10 effect cures in cases OF chronic
rheuma tisrn, focomotor ataxia and pre-
mature old age.
1t is designed to build I'D men who
have lived too fast and have become old
before their time. Introduced into the
system the lymph inyigOrates the ex-
hauSt6d cells and restores and increases
power and strength. The lymph has
even been known 70 cure consumption in
the early stages, although l have had no
cases OF that sort, and cannot testify as
TO that
The idea is that the lymph builds I'd
the system by restoring the diseased It's
sues. The cells that are kept in a healthy
state coming in contact with the cells
tEdI nave QSlertOraIed DullQ UP the lat
ter. Probably the most important case
l have had and the one that would Oc-
caSlon most surprise was one Of locomOtor
ataxia- The patient mad not been able 10
Walk Tor TWO years control OF all the
muscles of the body had been lost
L used the lymph for several weeks and
there was q marked Improvement 1 con-
tinued its use, and the last 1 know of the
case, the patient walked 10 my Office
I have had fifteen cases Of locomotor
ataXla, and every one has shown marked
Improvement. The lymph Will cure many
chrome DISEASES ordinarily considered in
durable TIE difficulty with the lvmphs
that have been experimental with here
tofore is that they have all been made
from dead tissue.
That was the trouble with DR.. Brown
Sequard's EhXer of Life. Dr. Roberts,
lymph is made from living tissue. II is
well known that blood corpuscIes re
moved from living tissue can be kent
animate ana can be transferred to other
tissue. In his experiments. DR.. Roberts
kept the cells of the lymph alive for
months after taking them from the ami
NAL
The lymph is taken from the goat
while it is yet alive. Goats are used be-
cause they are the healthiest OF an the
animals, and the main point is 10 Sc
cure the very heafthiest cells
GOats are especially bred for the pI1r-
pose and are very carefully raised. When
they are about OF 8 months old they are
chloroformed and the glands are re-
moved Then this lymph is made ac-
cOrding TO the formula known 10 Dr..
Roberts.
