After that, add water. The corn may
even be shocked to put in at a more

TREAT TUBERCULOS BY
CHEMICALS SAYS FRENCHMAN

Paris, Aug. 26.-Dr. Louis Renon,
a physician connected with the Neck
er hospital and a member Of the med
ical faculty of the University of Paris
has announced to the Therapeutic So
ciety that as the result Cf a long
research he is able to prove that tu-
berculosis, contrary to the generally
accepted theory, must be treated by
chemical means and not by scrums.
His paper has caused considerable
stir in medical circles, where it is
held that he has opened a new path
in the cure of the white plague
DR.. Renon says his endaavors have
been directed toward finding a sub
stance which will kill Gacilli in an
animal without iniuring the elements
of that organization. As beginning,
he established a list OF antiseptics
which arrest the development of bac-
ill in cultures. He also found sub
stances with which bacili can not
develop. These, he says, are potas-
stun, sulphur, phosphates, iron and
magnesium.
Thus, he claims therapeutic action
can be obtained by adding certain
substances to an animal organism and
by withdrawing other substances nec-
essary to the growth Of tacilli.
