TUBERCULOSIS TREATMENT
Recent Gratifying Results of a New
Method.

Special Correspondence of The Star.
MILAN, April 22.-Professor Levi is much
gratified with the results obtained from his
new treatment for tuberculosis. The treat
ment which consists of repeated subcutan-
eous injections of iodine modified in par
ticular manner, is said to be almost infalI-
IDLE in curing incipient cases of consume
ton.
Hitherto the disinfecting power of iodine
has never been successfully utilized in cur
ing infection internal diseases in human be-
ings. for the reason that when iodine comes
in contact with human blood it Immediately
combines with the alkaline elements to form
alkaline fodures, the disinfecting properties
of which are very small
Professor Levi has recently succeeded in
preparing iodine in such a manner as to
deprive it of this property and to cause
ii 10 circulate unmixed through the tissues
with the tubercuar microbes and bring to
bear all its curative power against them
The professor states that after obtaining
satisfactory results with animals suffering
from tuberculosis he applied his method to
human patients with great success espe-
clally IN the cicatrization of spreading le-
sions and the formation of new and healthy
tissues. These results were proved by the
examination of many patients and by au-
topsies made by commission of doctors
on animals experimental upon.
The professor has already received sew
eral offers from foreign countries for his
secret remedy, which he will probably ac-
cept. in order to make his discovery more
widely known.

THREATENS SUICIDE
WILLIAM A. WEAVER BELIEVED
TO BE DEMENTED.

eff you let me go I'll kill myself de-
ciared William A. Weaver last night at the
tenth precinct station, after his life had
been saved by the physicians at Garfield
Hospital.
Weaver also declared that he would kill
his wife, child and father-in-law and other
relatives Because of his statement and
the testimony given by his brother, the
police deemed it best to send him to the
first precinct police station for safe keeping
until the police surgeons can determine
his mental condition today.
The unfortunate man had attempted sui
eide at the Mendoza apartment house On
tario and Poplar streets, by turning on
the gas after he had taken a dose of what
he supposed to be poison. He was in an
unconscious condition in a toilet room IN
the building when found by the janitor,
Walter Moore, colored, of 2415 10th street
northwest. 1t was about O'Clock In
the afternoon when the police took him to
Garfield Hospital, where DR.. Reicheiderfer,
the superintendent, restored him to con-
seriousness. He was then taken to the
tenth precinct station to be cared Tor by
the police.
Weaver is forty-six years old and lives
at 1873 LIST street northwest. Until about
a month ago he was employed as a book
keeper by a New York firm. Afterward
he accepted a position in the Mendoza mar
ket, which position he held about one
month Yesterday afternoon about z
O'Clock he left the market without telling
any one where he was going. His fellow
workmen were surprised when they learned
later that he ATTEMPTED to take his own life.
a brother of Weaver called at the tenth
precinct station and told the police that
the man who was in custody had been
showing signs of mental trouble recently.
1t is said he is an excellent bookkeeper,
but that he had been unable to hold a
position for any length of time because
of his inability to restrain his appetite for
liquor.
While being detained at the tenth pre-
cinct station Weaver's statements were
that he had wronged somebody in finan-
cal way. Had it not been that he threat
ened to kill his relatives and himself he
would have been turned over and taken
home by his brother His threat was OF
SO serious a nature, however, that the po-
lice were afraid to release him.
