FAME AND FORTUNE OFFERED
the Long-Sought Cure for
tuberculosis.

DR.. George w. Bloomer of Yale uni
versity, acting as spokesman for an
anonymous giyer, has announced that
prize of 100000 has been set aside,
to be awarded to the first person any
where in the world who discovers a
cure for tuberculosis. The gift is un-
conditional as to time place, or kind
of cure, the only real condition being
that the new cure must have been in
constant use at least five years, and
that the promoter of the cure con-
vince the investigating board of the
merits of his discovery
A large number of physicians have
been working for years to perfect vac
cine or anti-toXin for tuberculosis, or
to find some agent, such as tuberculin,
which will assist in the cure of the dis
case. Thus far, the experiments have
not furnished a product which will
either absolutely cure or prevent con
sumption. or render the patient i'm
mune against the disease. Many of
these serums have proved effective in
increasing the resistance of the pa
tiont and thus helping in the cure, but
no scientist of repute to-day claims TO
have discovered a tuberculln which
will produce cure without the com
bined aid of fresh air, rest and whole
some food.
