UNCLE SAM TO TEST
DR.. Won RUCK'SCURE
Navy Surgeon and the Public
Health Service viii Try New
tuberculosis Vaccine.
CONTINUED from First Page)

on The medical world. usually skepdcal
about cure OF a new sort, especially
one purporting to cure tuberculosis
Moreover, Dr. Won Ruck.( in his entire
attitude about the matter. has teen
ethical in the highest degree. He takes
the position OF not wanting TO make
money out of the treatment, but OF
being desirous of beneftting the human
race with what he believes Is an i'm
portant discovery
Application Is Simple.
The application of the Won Rucli vac
cine is extremely simple. 1t consists Of
the hypodermic injection of the neces-
sary quantity. which varies from one
twentieth to one-haif a cubic cent?
meter. according to age. A cubic cent?
meter Is about twenty-hv drops.
When filtered. the vaccine Is a clear
fluid of amber color. Each cubic cent?
meter has ten. milllgrams of the I'M
munizing substance.-It contains a pre-
servative. to prevent deterioration.
DIR. Julian.s observations of the eN-
psinstaking. according to. the statement
he is prepared to make before the
North Carolina Academy of Science.
He gives. the fullest measure OF ,credft
to Dr. Won Ruck. who is a ply sician OF
standing. Dr. Julian found that the eN-
periments indicated any child or adult
could be given the dose in safety.
The experiments at the Baptist Or
phanage. of Thomasville.- were made
with the consent of the Rev. DIR. kess-
ler tine superintendent. The reports Of
both Dr. Won ,Ruck and DIR. Julian show
marked gains in weight. A comparison
by DR.. Julian of the averages shows
that after fourteen months the tubercu-
lous and those probably tuberculous
Increased twice as much in per cent of
body weight as normal children. Cures
were effected, II is maintained, in near
ly all cases where the vaccine was en-
ployed. In some of the cases in which
there were cures, the disease had pre-
Niousiy made marked progress Even IN
advanced cases, ii is insisted, cures
were brought about.
