THE SPAHLINGER TREATMENT

MEDICAL M.P.'S TESTIMONY

"THE ONE CURE FOR CONSUMPTION."

<FROM ODR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) LONDON, 30th June,

Dr. T. Watts and Dr. J. H. Williams, tWo medical men who are members of Parliament, recently visited Geneva to investigate Mr. Spahlinger's treatment for the cure of tuberculosis in cattle and in humari beings. At a meeting of Cheshire landowners and farmers both these doctors testified to the marvellous results of the treatment.

Dr. Witts, who was'in Qeneva a week ago, making the late3t of several visits, said he had come back absolutely convinced that i n Spahlinger's work they had something very different from any eiher pretended cure. It was a serum treatment differing fundamentally from' others in that from the first isolation of the tubercle bacillus Henry Spahlinger had.recognised the probability, and afterwards proved the existence, of at least 22 strains of the bacillus, produced by as many different environments. His sera were prepared,*' accordingly, to counteract the 22 different and distinct miacrobic poisons with as many different antidotes. The vaccine was usually obtained from black horses of the Irishivuntor type. The 22 antigens produced by twenty years of labour by Spahlinger were combined to form his complete serum. Tho tragedy to-day was that Spahlinger was only in possession of seven of these antigens, but even with that partial serum simply marvellous results were being obtained. Dr. Williams said lie went to Geneva without previous knowledge of the treatment, and had come back thoroughly convinced that it was the one cure for consumption. What was now wanted was the opportunity to test tho cure in Eng!ai|jJ. ■ BENEFACTOR TO THE HUMAN RACE. Claims that seemed extraordinary were advanced by Mr. K. G. Lovell, who has buen for several years associated with Mr. Spahlinger in the work at Carouge, Geneva.. Mr. Lovell told tho meeting that Mr. Spahlinger had declined a Gevniau offer of a quarter of a million sterling, with half-profits, for the .exclusive use of his formula. Progress was 'hiii? dereel by tho war, and was now held tip' by financial dittlcultica, but lie believed in the treatment, and regarded Mr. iSpahlingor as n genius, a humanitarian, and a, great benefactor of the whole human race, although some peoplo thought him. a crank

Others v.-ho had been to Carougo. aijd who had come away convinced, included a Mr. A. Palethorpe, ivho made a donation of 500 guineas to help on Mr. Spalilinger's work. Another g^ve 100 guineas. v
