alleged remedy for tuberculosis has
been given a careful scientific trial; for
the past three months, and while at
times it seemed to accornplishf all that
was claimed for it when first .given to

pelled all doubts in regard to its sup
posed curative qualities. Of the pati-
ents who have been admitted to the
hospitals one has died, two has hem
potarily recovered sufficiently to leave

20 in number, are hopelessly drifting

said of the lymph is that it temporarily
