THE cure of tuberculosis is a cues
ton OF nutrition; digestion and aSSim-
llatiOn control the situation; make a
patient grow fat and the local disease
may be left to take care of itself"
DIR. WILLIAM OSLER.
The all-i1nportant thing IS to drink
large quantities Of milk strippings
(the very last of the milking which is
all cream when a proper cow is Sc
lected). This seems SO simple and
easy that many refuse TO follow di-
rections, and demand medicines TO
cure them; but there has not yet been
discovered any medicine that is a spe-
cific for consumption.
To get the best results a healthy cow
hould be selected. one that does not
cough and one that gives very rich
milk. A Jersey COW is preferable.
The milk should always be tested, to
be sure that there is a large per cent
Of cream in it.
The last quart should be MIXED into
a separate dish which rests In a larger
vessel containing warm water just SUI
icient to prevent the ~strippings from
cooling below ~blood-heat The COW
should be thoroughly cleaned to pre-
vent any dirt getting into the milk, go
the patient a blow back the froth
and drink at once stratnillg 1t,
which cools It too much.
Begin by drinking nearly a pint IN the
morning and the same at night, IN
creasing the quantity gradually SO that
IN ten or fifteen days a full quart VIII
be AXE twice a day. It should be
taken Immediately after milking, be-
fore It has had time TO cool. Take as
, much as YOU can without too much
discomfort; then rest two or thres
minutes, drink more and rest again:
| and 50 on until q full quart has been
taken. In about fifteen minutes the

The following is g typical
Mrs. A. E. was suddenly startled to
find that her weight was forty pounds
below normal. She was coughing ter
ribfy and soon had a profuse henor-
| rhage from the lungs that came rear
taking her life. She at once began the
use of the milk strippings after the
i1emorrhage was stopped, and after ten
or fifteen days she found that she a
gained nearly a pound a day. She
| was soor able to get out OF bed and
go around the house: and as her
| weight and strength increased het
cough decreased. When she had
gained forty pounds in about three
months. her cough left her. / hah
her continue the same diet for SIX o,
eight weeks longer; she gained tel
pounds more and won'd mot take or
more flesh. BY that time she was as
well as she ever had been. and rom
tinued well after the s~trippings had
been discontinued. She took 40 medi-
cine after the he1norrhage was stop
ped except a little pepsin and some
other die estive and a simple remedy to
ease the cough.
