Danger of Typhoid Removed

Special Cor. Cincinnati Enquirer. Ann Arbor, Mich.-"Benzozone" Is the name of a laboratory discovery made by Prof. c. Novy of the University of Michi- gan, which his colleagues and students believe will revolutionize the world or sickness and do away with all such dis- eases as Asiatlc cholera. typhoid fever, dysentery and the like, which have their seat in the intestines. An absolute in- testinal disnfectant and anticeptic IS the way the new-found preparation Is de- scribed and It's effects upon i've stu- dents who submitted to seyendays ex- perimentation have been truly wonderful. pr. Novy is one of the greatest bac- tefioiogists in the country, and last win ter, during the bubonic scare on the Pa cifle coast, he. with two other eminent specialists, was dispatched by the na- tlonal government to investigate and de- wise means with which to combat the maiady. Bacteriology and physiological chemistry are his speciaities, and his students are confident that he has at last discovered the long-sought but almost de-
  sons that go to produce typhoid and cholera.
 Professors and students of the Michi- gan Medical School are eagerly awaiting the detailed report which pr Novy will shortly issue upon his experiments. Until then he is not allowing any uhdue hopes to be raised of what his discovery may be able to do, and he refuses to go into any details as yet preferrinB to let his mere experiments stand for just what they really accomplish and walt now until he tries his preparation on actual cases of typhoid and cholera.
 Five stuoents offered themselves as subjects" upon whom the experiments might be made. After week of constant analysis, during which the poor fellows were given nothing to eat, and had only sterilized milk to drink the announce ment is made, unoftcially, that success attened the trials and a new weapon Is given men to combaat disease.
 ''Benzosone," as the new preparation has been named, is believed to contain properties whiO.4 will nuiiify all such dis
 
 and the like that find their seat in the in- testines. An absolute intestinal antisep- tic will not merely cure these diseases, but will also rid the system of them and prevent the diseases entirely.
 1t Is impossible to comprehend the greatness of this discovery If 1t proves as successful in actual ptactice as 1t has proved in the chemical laboratory. No longer will dysentery be the most deadly enemy of military camps. It Is now true that more soldiers die of dysentery dur ing prolongev campaign than from bull lets.
 The plague of Asiatic cholera and of typhoid also are terror to all countries. and in large cities the latter has been es- pecially prevelant the this past year, and all are known to fear it. These three dis eases are produced by filth in the first place. and they have been practically non combatible. The patient has died or re- covered depending on his strength to re- sist the attack.
 Prof. Novy's discovery reaches what the medical profession has generally be- ] lieved to be unattainable. An absolute intestinal antiseptic that would destroy
