REPORTED CURE

MEDICAL MEN SCEPTICAL. (By Telegraph—Per Press Association.) WELLINGTON, Dec, 6. Local doctors appear to lie just a little sceptical regarding the merits of the Auckland clergyman’s 'cure for consumptioimlTbis-• compound' is claimed to have cured 1 scores of cases of tuberculosis and permission has been given by Apchbishop Averill to distribute the compound at practically no cost. The discoverer, s however, for reason" which he states, refuses .to disclose its, composition. A well-known Wellington practitioner when approached on the subject spoke* with decided feeling. “If there is anything in the thing,” he said, “surely the first tiling the discoverer would do would be to get the opinioi of a number of medical men, or the executive of the Association. Research work has been going on for a greal many years, dealing with all possible treatment for tuberculosis of the lungs. The results, however, are invariably published so that all details connecter with these investigations can he goby medical men interested in the subject. If there is anything in the present claim, surely the discoverer woul ’ \ be only too glad to put liis formul. lief ore a body of men competent to judge of its possibilities.” Other practitioners comment in similar terms.
