working with Maragliano for the ap-
p!lcat1on of this treatment to the peo-
PIE OF this continent are three men Of
Pnlladelphia: Henry Phipps, the phi
iantnropist; Dr. Flick, the self-sacrific-
ing man OF science. and DR.. Mazyck P.
fSaVenel' the noted bacteriologist, lab
Ofatory worker and physician. The
Iirst experiments in America along this
me are to be made in Philadelphia
Wltnin the next few months.
Mr.. Ph1pps is the man behind the
gun, the man with the money and the
nerve and soul to spend it. His
Wealtn is estimated in excess Of $780,
100000.
To DR.. Lawrence F. Flick, Mr.. Phipps
has Entrusted the direction of his enor-
nous batteries of wealth. Money with
out practical limit is at DR.. Flick'S
command in the campaign against the
dread consumption. The selection came
through the enthusiasm, pre- eminent
aDlllty and enormous activity Of DR..
Flick in this great cause.
DIR. RaveneI is Of the army that has
given to the world Pasteur, Koch, the
cures, who discovered radium, and all
the other nluStriouS seers who have
found their work in the laboratory
With his other attachments, DIR. Raw
enel combines the ability Of broadly
educated physician with the thorough
ness Of widely schooled professor.
In view of DR.. RaVenel'S diversified
attainments and unquestioned ability,
ne was chosen to work in the Marag--
Hano laboratories in Genoa and to carry
the treatment originated there to Phil
adelphia. He will sail for Italy within
the next few weeks, and will begin his
studies and treatments without delay.
In a month after his arrival it is ex-
pected he will have acquired all that
Maragliano can convey. At the end of
that time he will go to Berlin, where
Behring is vaccinating for tuberculosis,
and to Paris, where Alexander Mar
morck is applying the same treatment.
These visits will be short by COMPARE
son with that to the parent institute at
Genoa. Then home to America he will
sail, laden with healing hope for the
dying thousands.
1t is safe to predict that treatment
according to Maragliano's method will
be commenced in the Phipps institute
before the coming autumn. This will
make Philadelphia the Mecca toward
which all the sufferers from tuberculo-
sis in America will turn.
Public knowledge of Maragliano's
wonderful new achievements in the
treatment of tuberculosis was first Civ
en- in a paper written for the Phipps
institute. This treatise caused an i'm
mediate and profound sensation among
the physicians and psychologists all
over America.
The Maragliano treatment consists
Of two divisions: first, the vaccina-
ton; second, a diet Of the flesh of inn
munized animals and milk from i'm
munized cows. The vaccination for tu-
berculosis, like that for smallpox, is
made upon the arm. 1t Is not SO deep
as that made for smallpox, though the
infiammatione which results is often
