USEOF GOATS LYMPH.
STARTLING RESULTS PREDICTED FOR A
NEW DISCOVERY.

Il regard it as the discovery of the
nineteenth century and l predict that
before very long it will be used in
every hospital in New York
The above remark was made by Dr.
R. w. Steger in an interview concern
ing the goats lymph compound of DR..
Roberts, of Chicago, and the case of
insanity it recently cured.
DR.. Steger is one of two physicians
in Greater New York who have been
using the lymph in their regular prac-
tice. He has just been elected presi-
dent of the Roberts Medical Society,
an organization named for the discov-
erer of the lymph. The society has
arranged for the publication of a med
ical journal for the extension of the
Roberts treatment throughout the
country. Dir. Frederick Holden, of
Brooklyn, who has been associated
with DR.. Steger in the use of the
lymph, has been elected secretary, and
DR.. Joseph r. Hawley, director Of the
institute in Chicago, that has perfected
Dr.. Roberts lymph, has been appoint
ed editor.
The lymph is drawn from the lymp-
hattie glands, spleen and other organs
of goats, and is injected beneath the
skin of patients. DR.. Steyer declares
that if put into general use it would
undoubtedly cure at least 40 per cent.
Of the cases of insanity in the country.
II have been using the lymph for
two MONTHS" said DR.. Steger, "and
the results [ have obtained from it are
simply remarkable. In fact, l hesi-
tate to speak Of many of the cures
that have come under my observation
for fear that other physicians will
think am exaggerating.
"The lymph, in the first place, is de-
signed to effect cures in cases of chron-
ic rheumatism, locomoter ataxia and
premature old age.
"It is destined to build up men who
have lived too fast and have become
old before their time. introduced into
the system the lymph invigorates the
exhausted cells and restores and in
creases power and strength. The
lymph has even been known to cure con-
sumption in the early stages although
1 have had no cases of this sort, and
cannot testify as to that.
"The idea is that the lymph builds
Up the system by restoring the dis
eased tissue. The cells that are kept
in healthy state coming in contact
with the cells that have deterioated
builds up the latter, Probably the
most important case l have had and
the one that would occasion most sur
prise was one of locomotor ataxia.
The patient had not been able to walk
for two years. Control of all the mus
cles of the body had been lost.
II used the lymph for several weeks
and there was marked improvement.
l continued it's use, and the last l
knew of the case the patient walked to
my office.
Il have had Is cases of locomotor
ataxia, and every one has shown mark
ed improvement. The lymph will cure
many chronic diseases ordinarily con-
sidered incurable. The difficulty with
the lymphs that have been experiment.
ed with heretofore is that they have
all been made from dead tissue.
"That was the trouble with DR..
Brown Sequald's Elixir of Life. DR..
Roberts lymph is made from living
tissue. 1t is we'll known that blood
corpuscles removed from living tissue
can be kept animate and can be trans
ferred to other tissue In his expert
ments DR.. Roberts kept the cells of
the lymph alive for months after tax
ing them from the animal.
"The lymph is taken from the goat
while it is yet alive. Goats are used
because they are the healthiest of all
animals and the main point is to Sc
cure the very healthiest cells.
"Goats are especially bred for the
purpose and are very carefully raised.
When they are about five or six
months old they are chloroformed and
the glands are removed Then this
lymph is made according to the form
ula known to Dr. Roberts. ."-New
