NEW CONSUMPTION CURE.
DiscOverer of Dfptherin Serium Con-
 MdMmf OR SucNam.


 Berlin, Feb. s.-Professor Emil won Behrin, the dlscoverer of the diptheria serum, addressing the German agricul- tural council today announced his determination to adhere to the res-' olution which he promulgated in Paris of keeping his tuberculosis remedy secret till autumn.
 The professor discussed lengthily the method of preventing consumption by itnmunizing milch cows. The aim Is to secure milk having immunizing pro perties., He claims to have approxi- mately solved this problem. Cows are treated when very young, with 8 fluid, which he calls tubercolase It is in- jected under the skin of the young cows repeatedly for two to four weeks. The remedy at first was very costly because 1t was almost impossible to preserve 1t in good condition but method has recently been discovered by which 1t can be preserved satis- faetorily and at q moderate cost.
 Professor Behrin also treated cows which showed vfruient type Of tuberculosis in their milk, but the bacIi disappeared after several weeks treatment. His theory is, that child ren fed on milk from cows rendered immune through his treatment become themselves immune.
