PARIS ANNOUNCES
NEW CURE FOR
WHITE PLAGUE

Paris, Feb. AFTER a lapse of about
seven or eight years Professor OAR
senyal, member of the Institute Of the
Academy Of Medicines. has presented
report to the French Academy Of
Sciences on the curative treatment of
tuberculosis by a new method discov-
cred by the Swiss bacteriologist, Henry
Spahlinger.- The method was first ap-
piled in 1913 and 1914. in hospitals in
England, France and Switzerland, on
patients suffering both from the minor
forms of tuberculosis and advanced
phthisis.
Since that time those patients who
were pronounced cured have been kept
under observation. All of them are de-
clared to be alive and in good health,
and they have shown no symptoms of
a relapse for the last six years.
These results are vouched for, among
others by the London physician Leon
ard d. Williams, fellow of the Royal
Society of Medicine ando Their scientific
bodies.
The treatment takes the form Of in
jections of anti1toxins and ferments
which are modified according to the
condition of the patient. Briefly it
aims first at eradication Of the acute
symptoms. then immunizing the patient.

relapse.
