DOCTOR SAID Inc GlODe W a MSh
known Washington specialist, is Pro
fessor Robert Koch, M, D.. Of Berlin,
connected with the Koch Lung CureE'
"Why. Of course not. Professor Koch
has a specific for consumption which
has been widely celebrated, though
some of the medical profession doubt
its efficacy. Be this as It may, he has
no branch medical department in
the United States"
But the Koch Lung Cure is adver-
tised in the papers
Eyes, yes; of course. Quacks can as
sumo anything. Let me tell you this
much. The German professor, as
matter OF fact, does not claim any spe-
cifc qualities for his tuberenline, but
recommends and uses 1t principally to
diagnose tuberculosis In both man and
beast used hypodermically, and in no
other way. Professor Koch's researches
and discoveries have been published
broadcast throughout the length and
breadth Of the land, and this fact has
in return given him worldwide rep
utation as an authority on infectious
diseases, tuberculosis, etc.
It seems that some one conceived the
idea Of establishing an American Med
ical Company, and to help deceive the
people. a man by the same name, Koch,
was secured. Edward Koch is his
name. The idea was to associate the
two as intimately as possible in their
advertisements making the two kochs
appear in the newspaper cuts as much
alike as possible and directly intimat'
ing. through their advertisements that
they have been and are associated to-
gether. and thereby producing an i'm
preston that DR.. Robert Koch, Of Ber-
lin, was in some way interested in the
so-called Koch Lung Cure, as pracuced
in many American cities"
DO you know OF any cases where
people have been deceived by this con-
founding Of names?'
"Oh! yes. Occasionally | treat pa
tient who has been through the mill,
as you call 1t. Recently, a Mrs. B. con
suited this Koch Lung Cure business.
She was told that it would require at
least two bottles Of Koch's Tuberculine,
and possibly three, the first month OF
treatment. She was to use It by in
halation! The stun was SO per bottle,
and one months treatment sac
Did she take the treatment
"She says not. I examined her In
| the first place, Tuberculine is not ad-
ministered by inhalation at all. A
! bottle of genuine KOch's Tuberculine
| is kept on hand in these places to show
! TEN-Globe outside
people. but Is never used. ! had an
other patient who had simply nervous
prostration, and she was put through
the mill in great shape. One Of her
lungs was in a serious condition. She
| had tuberculosis and unless she took
immediate treatment, her name was
Bridget
"Well?"
why; she is all right now and has
no more tuberculosis than you have,
but the American people, you know,
! like to be humbugged, and | expect
that the Koch Lung Cure will have Its
! run and it's suckers" and the great
specialist jumped in his buggy, laugh
ing good-naturedly.
''I busted the buttons of my vest
laughing at that poem OF Lamptons
YOU published Sunday last on the way
the women hold their skirts and show
their-shapes," said a grass widower
whoh holds down a nice berth In the
Treasury Department.

mine. and then / just laughed as

women the best Of IL, but when she
reads that poem your name is Dennis.

"Not so bad as that; merely cleanli

"Is that the racket? Humph! What
do you think of that walking drome

rear view Of a lady who was crossing
the street at Eleventh and +.
"Why, l could straddle that proiec
