There came into the hands of the writer recently q book entitled "The Copper Cure for Consumption" Nat uraliy skeptical as to the existence of . cure for the Great White Plague" the book was opened with question as 10 it's sincerity. All skepticism rap idly vanished as the story Of this mal- veloUs treatment unfolded itself. ar,. the statements of numerous cures told by the patients themselves seemed to show beyond q doubt that the cen turies cid battle against Tuberculosis; has at last been won. The book in question is circulated free of charge by the Kalamazoo Tuberculosis Remedy Co. T.tdl. 44 Main St. Kalamazoo. 1Iich. Consumption Curable. and at d price within reach of even the poorest. Surely this means more to the race than any ether discovery possibly could mean. One-ffth of all human diseas" prevented; ore-fifth of all human suf- ferirg plotted out: ona-severth Of al: deaths prevented: this is the nearing Of cure for tuberculosis.
 l VISIT TO KALAMAZOO.
 With these thoughts in mind tke writer went to Kalamazoo to inve5ti- gate the new treatment. Half con- virced by the book he had read. h. found evidence conclusive that the copper cure. "Antidotum Tubercuiose. is curing hundreds Of victims Of TubeT- culosis daily. The most influential citi- zens Cf the pretty little city of &ala- nlazoo are financially interested in the Kalamazoo Tuberculosis Remedy Co- (Ltd). This fact itself was convincing proof to the investigator that the claims made in their book must De gen uine. The Chairman of the Company. Mir O K. BuckoUt is President of tl3s Chemical Co. of International reputa- ticn bearing his name. He is mem Der Cf the British Congress on Tubs"- culosis Dr. Freeman Hall, the Med;- cal Director. enjoys widespread fame as q specialist in 1u0ercular diseases.

Managing Editor of KalamazOOs principal daily newspaper The remainder of the city's population without financial in terest in the remedy are enthusiastic over it's success. Kalamazoo itself has been pretty thoroughly cleared Of Tub erculosis during the last two years by -'Antiiotun TubercuIose."
 THE HISTORY OF THE TREAT
 MENT
 Mir. BUckout greeted the writer cor diaily and spoke freely of the new treatment. The history of the coppe. cure for Tuberculosis. or 'Antidotum Tuberculose,' as We have arbitrarily named it. is an interesting one. Ger tain of the lower animals are never af- flicted with Tuberculosis. Experiment demonstrated the presence of copper in the blood of such animals Further experiment proved that copper will ab soluteIy kill the Tuberculosis germs They cannot live in it's presence One fifth of one per cent of copper in d drcp Of water will kill au entire colony Of Tuberculosis bacilli. It is therefore obvious that if the blood of other ami ma1s can be impregnated with copper. any germs of Tuberculosis which are in the system will be annihilated an.I they will be rendered immune to Tu- bercu;osis- Experiments along this line for the cure of Tuberculosis in ami nals were commenced in Kalamazoo over ten years ago and were wonder fully successful. This fact encouraged experiments in the cases of human be inss. The problem to be solved was that Of introducing enough copper i!.tu the human blood through the stomach to eifectually destroy the Tuberculosis germs in whatever part of the system they existed.
 EXPERIMENTS PROVE A CURE
 FOUND.
 After Iong period of experimenta- tiOn and the expenditure of a large amount of money this was finally ef- fected- The results were almost mi raculous- The treatment was admins tered to several we1l-defned cases of Tuberculosis in Kalamazoo. and with out exception improvement was almost instantaneous. and an entire and per maneDt cure was effected How was the Kalamazoo Tuberculosis Remedy Company formed?" was a natural quSstion- Knowing that I am a mem ber Cf the British Tuberculosis Con- gTesz.' answered Mir fjuckout the GiScoverers of the new treatment nat urally submitted the results of theil experiments to my attention. l inves- tigdtcd them thoroughly. talked to q humber of their patients. and speedily became convinced that the long-soughl cure for Tuberculosis had been tound called a meeting of the prominent and public-minded business men ol Kalamazoo and laid the result of my investigations before them.
