one of his eyes In the hope Of saving
the other, On the following afternoon,
according to Doctor Paschall, he found

Physician Declares He Has Found

ATTACKS The GERM CAPSULE
Increases Power Of Blood to Digest
Wax Of Observation-Disclosures
Large Record Of Recoverles
Even In Advanced Stages.

New Y0rk.-Many physicians OF this
city have shown interest In treat
ment for all forms of tuberculosis de-
veloped by DIR. Benjamin s. Paschall,
formerly OF Seattle, now of New YORK
and asserted by him to be more effec-
tive than quinine is for malaria.
tuberculosis is not thrown off easily
by the body as many other infections
are, according to Doctor Paschall, be-
cause the germ manufactures for II
self capsule of wax which gives II n
high degree Of protection from the
natural powers of the blood to digest
and destroy germs and other foreign
substances.
The problem which confronted him
ut the beginning Of his research In
1907, according to Doctor Paschall
was to find method Of increasing the
power Of the blood to digest the wax
of tuberculosis germs.
The theory which Doctor Paschall
finally adopted was analogous to the
use of iron as tonic. The blood does
not digest Iron. But iron. treated with
certain acids, makes compound
which the blood can digest. Doctor
Paschall set out, he said, to combine
the wax with chemicals into sub
stance which the blood could absorb
His object was to cause the blood tc
manufacture digestive juices which
after absorbing this compound, would
remain in the blood TO break up and
expel the wax Of the tuberculosis
germs.
Doctor Paschall, then, according tt
his statement, devoted himself to the
study Of wakes and sent all over the
world for different types. The analysis
of the tubercle wax showed that Q
great many substances entered into It's
composition.
Asserts self.cure.
He produced his first treatment III
1908. After various experiments or
guinea pigs and other animals he be
came satisfied that he had discovered
a valuable therapeutic agency, and his
first human patient was himself. HI
had been sufferer from tuberculosis
and he believes that he cured himself
with injections of the compound which
he had then made.
The theory on which the treatment
was worked out resembles that or
which salvarsan was developed, al
though differing in some particulars
Doctor Ehrlich, who announced his
discovery In 1910, found coal.tai
