PATH|S|S CURE

DOCTORS
Jeanette, Pa, Is Center OF
Controversy Following Doc
tors Announcement.
BY ELSIE MCCORMICK.
CnamonolItan News Service.

JEANNETTE, Pa, May 11.-Win
the so-called "Fibroform treatment
for tuberculosis, already given much
publicity, turn out to be another
turtle serum disappointment, or is it
q step toward the long-sought cure
of the white plague?
Since the meeting of the West
Moreland County Medical Associa.
ton when DIR. William P. Nolan an
nounced he had found cure for
the white plague, this little town of
western Pennsylvania has become
the storm center of medical contro-
versy.
In a dingy office with a paper
door plate, the Jeanette physician
is kept busy through long hours
answering letters and kilograms
from all parts of the United States.
The flow of patients today does not
by any means correspond with the
amount of mail. DR.. Nolan, appar.
emily, is far from being considered
q medical prophet in his own
county. Though tacitly admitting
the possibilities of the theory, local
physicians have gone on record en-
phatically against it's announcement
as q certified cure.
Treatment Is Simple.
DR., Nolan's treatment is simple.
Taking as it's basis the long re-
marked fact that coal miners suf-
fer less from pulmonary tubercu.
losis than almost any other class of
workers, DIR. Nolan has prepared a
mixture of anonymous carbon, cal
cium lactate and calcium carbonate
which the patient inhales two or
three times a day. A small cleo
trio motor propels the fine particles
through a wide tube and under
q rubber mask that extend over
nose and mouth. -.
The carbon says DIR. Nolan, dries
the tubercuIar sores, builds an iso'
lating wall around the infected part
and artificaHy stimulates the de.
velopment of scar tissue. In line
with this theory, the Jeanette
physician Believes that a smoky
city is the best possible habitat for
Q tuberculosis patient and that the
rarified air treatment is largely a
delusion.
THE whole idea of this method
is to follow up the route of the
tubercule bacillus and give it a
battle" DR.. Nolan explained. "even
before my graduation from the Uni
versity of Pittsburgh in 1918, ]

tuberculosis is better supported by
statistics.
aowever, = DR. EdgarhL L.. Coltes, an
eminent British authority on the
subject of Industrial hygiene, de-
clared last October he. doubted the
carbon theory because, miners who
worked, in direct contact with the
coal showed slightly higher tuber-
culosis rate than those employed
elsewhere in the mine.
DR.. Louis I. Dublin, medical sta
tistician for the Metropolitan Lite
Insurance Company, states that the
relative index Of the tuberculosis
death rate among coal miners is
only 1913, while that of machinists,
for instance, is 1920.
The Fibro-form method is the first

sistant.
DIR. Nolan's statement that smoky
cities have the lowest death y rate
from tuberculosis because of the
carbon particles in the air is not
borne out by the 1920 census. Pitts
burgh's rate of 90 per 100000 popu-
lation is slightly lower than the
average rate of 1902 for cities in the
registration area, but it makes a
poor showing beside Spokane's 6l.2
or Akron's 4S,3.,, Cincinnati, another
smoky city, has the conspicuously
high rate of 1878 per 100000.

Has Cured 72 Patients. .
"My work along this line was
confined to animal experimentation
until 1915, when I cured my first
patient by the carbon treatment.
He was a man of thirty.two, who
had been i'll from tuberculosis for
fourteen months. At the end OF
nine weeks treatment, his cough
had disappeared and he was able
to return to work. Since then 1

ments being SO per cent"
DR.. Thomas st. Clair, president
Of the organization before which
the Jeanette physician read his
paper, is one of the most emphatic
opponents of DR.. Nolan's claims.
"Dr. Nolan's alleged cure for
tuberculosis is entirely without the
Endorsement of the West Moreland
County Medical Association" he
stated. 1--WE feel he presented only
theory and that he has no right,
in view Of the small amount Of
evidence, to call it a cure. To my
mind, it is very harmful for a
physician to spread such claims
broadcast in premature announce
ments. Tubercular patients are
prone enough to hope, anyway,
and such statements will only
strengthen this tendency"
DR.. r. E. L. Mccormick, county
physician, was equally emphatic in
declaring DIR. Nolan's claims un-
founded. He stated that the jean
nette doctor has held for a brief
time a position as chief OF the local
tuberculosis clinic.
DR.. Mccormick admitted, however,
that coal miners have a. very iow
tuhercular death rate, and that their
lungs, in autopsies, are usually
shown to be blackened with carbon.
However, DIR. Nolan did not prove
that there is any connection between
these two facts" he said.
| DR.. Samuel Hay Thorn, of the Mel
! ION Institute, Pittsburgh, whose re
was said by DIR. Nolan to have beer
! the inspiration.for much Of his work
seems little nattered by. the credit
extended to him.
81 am not interested in DR.. Nolan
or his claims said DR.. Hay Thorn
Ills use of my name was without
my authorization"
Keeps Names Secret.
!
Claiming he did not wish his
| patients annoyed by callers, DIR
Nolan refused to give the names
and addresses of. any Of the seventy
two reputed cures. He allowed the
interviewing patients who visited his
office, but all but two of these
! were taking ther first treatments
or merely making inquiries. One OF
them, Mrs. c. E. Volpine of Greens
burg. Pa, stated she had been
cured of empyema by the carbon
treatment in three weeks after
several doctors had given up her
case as hopeless.

The most encouraging testimony
Of all was given by Miss Lucy Nc

eliminated all other symptoms Of

AUTO RUSH COMES EARLY.

The state department OF licenses
is outstripping last year's,record
for the issuance of automobile lie
enses and unless there is some ser
ious setback later in the year
Washington will show a tremend-
Gus increase in the number of cars
in use.
During January the collections
from automobile licenses ran more
than $35O,O00 ahead of the record
for January, 1922, and in the early
part of February the collections
were running about $4,000 a day
ahead of the same period last
year. This early demand for new
license plates has been noticeable
ever since December |.
A big farmers delegation drove
from Lewis county to Olympia
last week to besiege the legisla-
ture for an appropriation for a
new road. Their cars were parked
ON four sides of the capitol. An
investigation showed all but two
of the cars bore 1923 license
plates and the two had auditor S
receipts pasted to their wind

ENGAGEMENT "RlMG" OF SILK
Pretty Custom Which Obtains in Japan
When Young People Have Made

In Japan there are many simple and
sweet customs. The japanese are a
nation of lovers Of romance and SYM

icacy of feeding add to the charm and
beauty Of their many truly artistic
customs.
Even in love affairs and in court
ships this same sweet simplicity Ia
observed. The thought is not lost
In complicating realities and expense.
The young man does not have
to save up so he can perhaps spend
more money than he should to give
his fancee an engagement ring be-
cause In Japan they do not wear en-

Instead after girl has promised
