derived from IL by men in the last stages

DIR. Craft C. Carroll, No. 2l East Twenty

of acute tuberculosis DIR. y. r. Tiff. of
| Newark. a specialist in lung diseases,
who. three weeks ago, was declared to be

sicians. received his third treatment of
electrical oscillation" yesterday, at the
clinic. and then ran to catch a car on his
way back to Newark.
The Rev. S. w, Switzer. pastor of the
Baptist Tabernacle, in Harrison, n. j.,
who had been sent to DR.. Carroll in the
last stages of consumption, told of his
remarkable cure. DIR. John y. Rich, presi-
dent of the American Microscopical So
ciety, declared that 1t was the most Won
derful demonstration OF positive beneficial
results that he had ever seen in the treat
ment of germ diseases.
CHARGE WOULD KILL ORDINARILY.
Nikola Tesla had worked for two
years on the apparatus which DIR. Carroll
used yesterday in his first public clinic.
1t was DIR. Carolls idea to apply the new
principle of electricity eveoved by Tesla
to the treatment of consumption.
Mr.. Tesla had predicted that oscillation
would accomplish wonders, but he had
not thought of using II as a germ killer.
BY applying the electrode of the Tesla
machine. DR.. Carroll drives through the
affected part quantity OF electricity.
which IL applied i'm any other way would
cause instant death. With the Tesla ''os-
cillator" he handles between two and
three thousand volts of electricity with
impunity.
DIR. Carroll says that after the oscilla-
ton treatment all tubercular matter Is
eliminated from the system by the
emunctories--the liver. kidneys, bowels
and general glandular system. The treat
ment is one of destruction to the germs.
DIR. Iiff told how he had contracted tu-
berculosis from his patients about year
ago. 1t had developed in the aorta, which
Is the artery leading from the heart to
the pulmonary system. Stenosis of the
aorta resulted.
The tubercular matter had clogged the
aorta about one inch from the entrance
to the heart. so finally the heart could
not pump blood to the extremities.

that In forty-eght hours, four weeks ago.

Tiff. MY brother physicians protested
against my being removed. They said
there was not the slightest chance OF re-

'I took my third oscillation treatment
today. am now attending TO my prac-
tice agin In Newark, and am on the
speedy road TO complete recovery"
The testimony given by the Rev. Mr.
Switzer was almost as remarkable. lie

years ago. When he was moved TO DR.

and Harrison told him he had but six

his pastoral duties in less than three

Asked for an explanation of the treat
