POURs DRUGS INTO LUNGS.
Novel Consumption Treatment Origina-
ted by German Doctor.


ted by German Doctor.
Richard Guenther, United States con-
sui general at Frankfort. Germany, in
q report to the state department, says:
Professor Jacob. first physician Of
the Hospital Charitie of Berlin, lectur-
ed n few days ago before the Berlin
Society of Internal Medicine on a new
mode of treatment of consumption Of
the lungs originated by him.
Professor Jacob started with the pre-
sumption that the remedies usually
employed do not reach the location OF
the disease at all, and he therefore
conceived the idea of introducing med
icamentS directly into the lungs.
Through numerous experiments on ami
mails he became convinced that such
injections are very well borne by AMI
mails. The manipulation Is very simple
and can be undertaken by every physi-
clan who is familiar with the use OF
the throat mirror (NehlkopfspiegeD.
After the trachea and larynX have been
made insensible by cocaine or anaesthe-
STA, thin rubber tube is introduced
jected through it. The whole process
lasts hardly ten minutes.
Professor Jacob has found that the
most efficient remedy is the well
known tuberculin which Professor
Koch used thirteen years ago; next in
efficiency is creosote. He succeeded II
tits way in making the tuberculosis
bacilli disappear completely in from
four to eight weeks. So far he has
treated only five patients by this meth
ed, though he expects its general adop-
ton. He added that through this new
method safe diagnosis can be made
of consumption of the lungs, while this
has so far not been possible. Hereto
fore tuberculin was injected hypoder
mically to demonstrate whether a per-
son suffered from tuberculosis; yet IL
the reaction was positive. nothing was
known about the seat of the tubercu
losis. Now only his new method of
lung infusion" as he calls it. needs to
be employed to determine whether tu
berculosis of the lungs exists. 1t is re-
ported that the lecture was received
with great applause.

Some Sources of Headache.

Among the many things that produce
headache are long continued straininS
Of the eyes. sudden excitement. bad air
and want of ventilation, alcoholic
drinks ana n variety of other cnuses.
Another fruitful source of headache in
men is the absurd fashion of hats
which society now imposes. Tight
boots and shoes will also cause head
ache and destroy comfort OF motion
and happiness. They prevent the flow
Of blood to the extrcElities and cause
slight congestion of the brain. Tea
drinking is often an unsupported cause
of headache, causing. as it does, ok
haustion of the nervous system, and
coffee the same thing.
