DIR. DoYEN DISCOVERS CURE FOR
ILLS IN THE YEAST IN
BEER.

PARIS, Sept. 29.-From watching
bubbles in glass OF beer. DR.. Doyen
has discovered the means not only
to cure colds. bronchitis. pneumonia
and such cognate ills, but actually. he
says, to prolong life.
So important does DR.. Doyen con-
slider this discovery that he left for
Geneva TO place the discovery before
the tenth Congress Francois de Mede-
cine now in session there.
when | succeeded in isolating the
active principle of the yeast In beer,
said DR.. Doyen before taking the train,
Il was struck with the rapid action OF
this therapeutic agent. Working with
this as a basis, succeeded in produc-
ing a liquid called staphylase. which,
taken at the beginning Of cold In the
head, In the throat or In the case Of
simple bronchitis, will cure them In
less than an hour.
Experimenting further with yeast,
I prepared other liquid phagogenes
which are very active.
Other experiments led to a discov-
cry unlocked for. found that not only
did these liquid phagogenes confer
immuuily dSdlHSb a CSl ldiu huhiOcI VI
dangerous microbes, but actually COM
bated small infections and most of the
latent NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. which deteri-
crate the human body.
ut Is true therefore that their gen.
eral action will lead to sensible pro-
longation of life"
DR.. Doyen said he would like to place
some Of his phagogenes in the hands
of American medical scientists for ex-
perimentation.
