PATIENTS WHO SHOW SUCCESS OF THE
NITROGEN GAS COMPRESSION
TREATMENT.

Chicago Nov 50 CSpeciaD.-Deep chested men
with the bronze coloring of health were shown
before the Chicago Medical Society Wednesday
night. in Evidence that cure for consumption
has been found. Some OF the men who we're eX-
hibited to show the effects of nitrogen gas com
preston treatment were among the first TO be
treated by the cure given TO the medical world
by DR. ]. B. Murphy at the Congress of Physi-
clans in Denver several years ago. None Of the
men showed any Of the symptoms of consump-
ton. although all OF tssm had been patients.
DIR. August Lemke. Of the Northwestern Medi-
cal College, who has been carrying on expert
ments with the compression treatment, pre-
sented half a dozen men and several women to
prove the correctness of the theory announced
by DR. Murphy, that when a lung affected by
gen gas into the peural sack, the rest given the
lung permits il 10 he cured.
The women presented were as healthy look
ing as were the robust trained nurses present.
Several Of the men who had been reclaimed
by the nitrogen gas treatment were above the
average in muscular development. In a paper
which he read DR.. Lemke said the new treat
ment had proved in actual use to be a greater
boon TO suffering man than had been expected
The one condition which baffied the treatment
that OF the lung adhering to the chest wall-he
said, hac been found to be rare. Dr. Lemke
made no claim of cure in the cases he had treat
ed. He said:
The symptoms of tuberculosis which were
for treatment, have all disappeared. The fever
and coughing have ceased, and the patients
nave slept and eaten we'll They have all gained
IN weight and show no evidence of disease.
