the animal organisms in the intestines producing the disease has long been | hoped for. yet generally considered im- possible of manufacture. Such a prepafa- tion would purge the body of the source of such diseases as lave been named. and so render the person free from the cause as we'll as from the disease itself. As stated in thesis on this very subject of absolute antiseptic, Dr. Dujardine Bea- metz said:
 Man in the physiological state neces- sarily produces poisons more or less vir- ulent. and the condition of health for him consists in the regular rapid elim- nation of these same poisons by the action of the bodily organs-kldneys. liver and intestines. Let something in- terrupt this regular action--let these or- gans cease or become impaired in their functions-and disease may resuit"A
 Dr. Novy's ''benzozone" does what the healthy system does. It prevents these bodily poisons from developing disease. In time of susceptibility to these dis eases it Is a substitute for the bodily action, and removes the cause of dis ease When seen and asked for state ment as to what he hoped 10 accom- pllsh by his discovery, Prof. Novy de- clined to commit himself. He said:
 "So far I have been experimenting. Experimental results are not to be spoken of by experimentprs outside of scientific periodicals. I have concluded my laboratory tests. but do not wish to say what hope their results will be-"
 Although professional ethics keep Prof. Novy from eiaborating on his dis covery, nevertheless the enthusiasm among his students shows better than words that the great discovery is even more than had been hoped for.
 The first students look worn and fagg- ed after their week of sterillzed milk, but they stuck to it like trojans more faithful than any athlete ever hung to his raw beef and ale diet at training table. None of them are really worse for the trials, and so far as being liable to disease is concerend, they are practically immune, being completely free from the poisons that usually are to be found in the body
 The methods pursued by Professor Novy in his week of experimentation were quite simple. The five students were fed noth- Ing but the sterilized milk It's contents of animal organisms were determinabie. the micro organisms produced by the body were also determinabie by andy sls of the urine and faeces. But by means of the benzozone, there was brought about a total destruction of these poisons.
 Each meal time. three times day, the five students went to the laboratory and first took a dose of ''benzozone," then they downed their portions of steril- ized milk, and once more mingled with their fellow students Repeated chemical analyses were made of the bodily refuse of these students. and the results were very fiattering. If behzozone is so eff- cient In ridding the healthy body of poi sons with which 1t is filled, 1t is the belief that 1t will also serve In case of bodily breakdown to carry off the organisms which. if left In the boby, would produce Asiatic cholera, typhoid fever. dysentery 1 or some other equally terrible diseas SC The whole scientific world awaits the de- tailed report from Professor Novy.
