HAS ELIXIR OF LIFE.
French Surgeon Believes He Has
Remarkable Formula.

Paris. April 4.-Dr. Doyen, the noted
surgeon. thinks that he has come nearer
finding the elixir of life than any one
has before him. Anyway. he is greatly
confident that he has found a means Of
prolonging life to a considerable extent.
He made the announcement this after
noon in a lecture in which he gave many
technical details. He said that he had
discovered liquid which he calls my
colysine. which dissolves germs.
1t was known, he said, that il it were
possible to decuplize the activity of pha-
gocytes. the resistance OF the human
body would be greatly increased. In
this case q majority of infectious dis
eases would disappear. This problem he
solved by the discovery of phagogenous
colloides. which form the basis Of my
eOlysine.
He insists that If employed nationally.
mycolysine will abolish majority Of the
infectious diseases. especially those OF
the respiratory and digestive organs and
of the skin.

tee Of FIVE 20 frame charges based on the
evidence in the Aids trial upon which
the senate could expel Senator Conger.

TO the senate judiciary committee. There
is no doubt that the judiciary com
mittee would have reported in favor OF
Senator Conger's expulsion. and that the
senate would have voted almost unani-
mously against Senator Conger.
Anticipating this action. Conger. after
consulting with his friends and his coun-
sci. prepared tart address to his col
leagues. which he read in the senate to-
night in typewriter manuscript. His de-
meanor was quiet and his manner deter

remarks, when he referred 10 the fact
that his sacrifice 4as been great and that
at times the burden seemed more than he
could carry, did he show any emotion.
