Robert Koch announced his discov-
cry Of the bacillus tuberculosis be-
fore the Physiological Society of
Berlin. Believing that tuberculous
diseases-thc white plague" OF civil
lied humanity-were duo to the ex-
istencs Of baciili. tho immortal Ger
man bacteriologist devoted years to
patient study. until at length he was
abie to announce to the world his dis
covery Of a specific germ. Thence
to an attempt to md some rival mi
crobe or chemical antidote powerful
enough to neutralize the operations
Of the bacilli tuberculosis.
In 1890 DIR. Koch believed that his
researches had been crowned with
success, and he startled the whole
world by the announcement that he
had found q remedy that would de-
stroy the bacilli tuberculosis and ex-
pei II from the human body without
injury TO the tissues In which the
germ had found Judgment.
The world broke forth into a PAGAN
OF Joy and triumph. Victims OF tho
terrible scourge flocked by thousands
to Berlin In order to DO tho first TO
receive tho elixir Of renewed life.
Fow doubted that tuberculosis was
conquered. that tho dread white
plague was to be wiped out. But the
consumptives and their relatives and
friends-a mighty host that no man
could number--were destined to have
their high hopes dashed to the
ground. DR.. koch's announcement,

astrous failures. Tho remedy. theo-

gloom and woe.
Az a sequel to this sad history Of
shattered hopes, II has lately been an

The explanation given OF the former
failure Of the remedy Is that the |

dose, which was from million to ton !
million times as great as that now |
first administered, produced reac-
