Successfully Employed as a Cure for
tuberculosis.
Consul General Guenther of Frank
fort, Germany, furnishes from German
papers a report to the effect that DR..
Quinton of Paris has recently commu-
nicated to the Paris Academy of Med
icine with reference to the effects of sea
water upon tuberculosis. The expert
ments were conducted with sea water
which was so diluted with pure water
as to contain seven parts of salt in
1000 parts Of liquid. Only in this
strength salt water should be brought
into contact with the inner tissues of
the human body. The sea water must,
of course, be sterilized and is then in
jected hypodermically once in three or
Jour days in doses of from so to 300
cubic centimeters. So far DR.. Quinton,
assisted by another physician, has
treated eighteen patients in the man
ner indicated, and ascertained at once
evidence reviving effect of the sea wa
ter. The patients gained steadily in
weight. Only three, in whom the dis
ease had progressed very far, showed
no improvement, while in the other 1f-
teen a decided improvement, both in the
general condition and in that Of the
diseased parts, the lungs or the glands,
was effected. Expectoration and the
number of bacilli were decreased.

She was about to knock at the study

her ears, causing her to stand irreso-
