BANNING ON CONSUMPTION GRAVITY AND RESPIRATION TREATMENTS ALL REQUIRED,
 SAYS PHYSICIAN. Declare Appropriation of $i5,ooo to Fight Tubercular BaciIli Is Only Infectine Nation With
 Fear. 1ze 

Scouting the germ theory in regard to the treatment of tubuicular tiou- bles. and declaring shat the so-called war on consumption, to which S15,0J0 has been appropriated in this coun- try was only the means of injecting the people with fear Da. Edmond Ban. hing, professor of surgery at Heinz College. Chicago, and medical direct. or of the Banning open air camp near Jacksonville, Fla, yesterday promoted some advanced ideas of the treatment of tuberculosis before the session of the Southern Homeopathic Medical Association in this city.
 At the Florida camp the gravity treitment, together with perfect res. pfation, has been given a borty year test, and the announcement by Dr. Banning of the success of these tests will be received with much interest. sDr- Banning claims that he has had moro than forty years of research and experiment conclusively before him, to prove that upon mans habitually perfect relation to growth depends iIay<shsand life itself. He scouts the germ theory and states that san liY. ing and proper relation to the mo ch8nical laws of the universe prevent and cure all physical heterogeneous.
 In his paper he said: Gravity is the indicated remedy flom the world of physics. There is no disease. but there are variations from the normal. and all such Arrangements are the re suit of violation of the natural law, and resultant imperfect wechanism. The human body. materially consid cred. Is machine of definite and ac. curate character, and as machine is the subject of inexorable mechan. ical law"
 From an imperfect and deanged machine must follow imperfect or in complete results The great law of similas, as enunciated by Hohuerman, applies to the world of phyfics, as well as to the niateria medica world. That which prevents can create; that which creates can cure.p
 The doctor states further that breathing is a purely mechanical func- ton and perfect respiration is de pendent upon a pelfect mechanism and with a perfect respiration there is complete immunity from any de rangement or sooalled disease of the lungs.
 Oschopedolgy or the science of rendering mechanical abnormal body mechanically normal, cure one hundred per cent of all cases of tuber. culosis of the lungs in its first and secondary stages according to Dr. Benning, and 80 per cent in the third stage, and 20 per cent in the last stage.
 His argument was listened to with profound attention and was fairly dis tHHoSu, tSpttldlly tllt statement or the doctor that when We take this view of the subject we find that we can control respiration, making it as deep or shallow as We will, the respi. ration we create will be automatic and we have not only the scourge of consumpticn cured. but paralysis and all chronic heterogeneous are our slayes--in the slang of the day, con. sumption and chronic difficulties are tied to the post Keep your eyes pn Jacksonville, Fla, and look for tid- ings of great joy"
