VICTOR OVER DREAD DISEASE
English Physician Asserts He Has
Found an Absolute Cure for
tuberculosis.

A remarkable series of cures alleged
to have been effected in advanced
cases of tuberculosis is attracting the
attention of medical men In London,
England. One case has been under
the supervision of a distinguished
physician for five months and the pa.
tient, who was suffering from con.
sumption of both lungs and throat,
has been pronounced virtually well.
A report from the physician on the
medical aspects of the case will prob.
ably be published soon. Arrange.
ments have been made for subjecting
the treatment to a decisive test by
applying it to six or eight hospital
cases and securing a scientific demon.
stration.
The treatment Is described as a
thermo-chemical attraction, the germs
of the disease being drawn by chem
ical heat through a ray of inflamma-
ton from the lung or throat to the
surface of the skin, and expelled when
the wound is washed. 1t has been
practiced by a science investigator,
William Doig, for several years at his
private ~dispensary, and medical men
are astonished by the results in cases
of tuberculosis which they have con.
sidered hopeless.
