May 2S - After having subjected the alleged tubercu- series of the most exacting tests. the state board of health has determ- ined to the entire satisfaction of it's members that the celebrated turtle serum is without merit. This was made plain today in an announce ment which was made public by the board in the form of an official circular forbidding the further use of the socalled cure.
