TON OF TREATMENT NEW
TO THE PROFESSION.

London April d Some eminent
physicians of England, incIudin- the
Coctors of the king, have agreed to
make a severe test of the discovery
made by William Doig who has been
treating free of charge persons sur
fering from tuberculosis of the joints,
and, according to the evidence Of va
rious hospital physicians, with con
siderable success. Last year he
tried his treatment on a patient suf-
fering from tuberculosis of the lungs,
under the observation of a well known
London physician. This case has been
certified as cured, a fact that has had
much to do with the making of the
thorough test as planned. 1t has been
decided to take six consumption cases
from the London hospitals and allow
DOig to treat them under close Obser-
walton. Dogs treatment consists OF
drawing the disease from the lungs
to the surface. A radius of innam-
nation is set up from the surface of
the skin to the lungs by means %
