HAS CURE FOR TUBERCULOSIS

Physician Declares He Has Found New Way to Fight Disease.

ATTACKS THE SHIM CAPSULE Increases Power of Blood to Digest Wax of Tuberculosis—-Claims a Large Record of Recoveries Even In Advanced Stages. - New York—Many physicians of this city have shown interest in a treatment for all forms of tuberculosis developed by Dr. Benjamin S. Paschall, formerly of Seattle, now of New York, end asserted by him to be more effective than quinine is for malaria. Tuberculosis is not thrown off easily by the body as many other Infections are, according to Doctor Paschall, because the germ manufactures for itself a capsule of wax which gives It a high degree of protection from the natural powers of the blood to digest and destroy germs and other foreign substances. ’' ' The problem which confronted him at the beginning of his research In 1907, according to Doctor Paschall, was to find a method of increasing the power of the blood to digest the wax of tuberculosis germs. The theory which Doctor Paschall finally adopted was analogous to the use of iron as a tonic. The blood does not digest iron. But iron, treated with certain acids, makes a compound which the blood can digest. Doctor Paschall set out, he said, to combine the wax with chemicals into a substance which the blood could absorb. His object was to cause the blood to .manufacture digestive Juices which, [after absorbing this compound, would remain in the blood to break up and expel the wax of the tuberculosis Jyiius. Doctor Paschall, then, according to bis statement, devoted himself to the study of waxes and sent all over the World tor different types. The analysis isf the tubercle wax showed that a [great many substances entered Into its •composition. Asserts Self-Cure. He produced his first treatment In ,1908. After various experiments on Igulnea pigs and other animals he became satisfied that he had discovered a valuable therapeutic agency, and his first human patient was himself. He had been a sufferer from tuberculosis, and he believes that he cured himself with injections of the compound which he had then made. The theory on which the treatment was worked out resembles that on which salvarsan was developed, although differing in some particulars. Doctor Ehrlich, who announced his discovery in 1910, found a coal-tar compound which stained the parasite which be sought to destroy, but did

not stop its activity. He combined that chemical with arsenic constituents. This compound, in staining the parasite, released the poison which destroyed its action, without hurting the human body. This process Is reversed by Doctor Paschall, who possessed the latent enemy of tuberculosis in the wax, but had to find chemical combinations which would make It available. His “mycoleum” differs also in that it Is a combination of chemical and bacteriological products, whereas salvarsan Is a union of chemicals only. And, while salvarsan attacks the parasite directly, the mycoleum is supposed to excite the blood to make the attack. He at first used the treatment only in the case of persons in advanced stages of tuberculosis, who asked for It Even in the advanced stages Doctor Paschall claims a large record of recoveries. Doctor Paschall had scores of letters from former patients and phy-

LIVING COST STILL SOARS

UP 100 PER CENT SINCE 1913 Minneapolis Leads In Increase of Retail Prices—Only 11 Commoditise Have Declined—Greatest Increase Is In Building Ma- _ Washington. —The cost of living Is still on the increase, according to reports received by the bureau of labor statistics of the United States department of labor from retailers in 50 cities. The average family expenditure for food was 2 per cent higher on January 15, 1920, than on December 15, 1919, and the cost in December was 2.6 per cent higher than It had been in any previous month. These figures show an Increase of 9 per cent since January, 1919, and an Increase of 104 per cent since January, 1913. The comparisons are based on the average retail prices of the following articles, weighted according to the consumption of the average family: Sirloin steak, round steak, rib roast, chuck roast, plate beef, pork chops, bacon, ham, lard, hens, flour, cornmeal, eggs, butter, milk, bread, potatoes, sugar, cheese, rice, coffee and tea. w

sicians on the Pacific coast testifying to the successful use of mycoleuna One is from a physician who said that he was cured within a week of tuberculosis of the eyes, which had threatened to destroy his sight, after a long treatment by other methods. In this case Doctor Paschall asserted that he had treated the man when he was in. a hospital, almost blind, and when surgeons were preparing to remove one of his eyes in the hope of saving, the other. On the following afternoon.) according to Doctor Paschall, he found the man on the outside of the hospital cranking .up his automobile and preparing to ride home. In cases of tuberculosis of the eyes, throat or kidneys or other forms. In which the diseased part is in close communication with the blood stream, the beneficial' results are manifest In a few hours, it was stated. In the case of tuberculosis of the lungs the germgJUffused through the body are said to be digested within a few hours after the first treatment, and the patient regains much of his energy and feeling of wellbeing. Bone and joint tuberculosis are said to yield readily to the treatment. Because mycoleum is in a laboraratory stage of manufacture, only a small quantity is In existence and Ito present cost Is between SI,OOO and $2,000 a pound, each pound containing about 150 doses. Enormous quantities of tuberculous germs have to be grown in order to obtain a small amount of the wax.

GEORGES CARPENTIER’S BID FOR TITLE FIRST BY FOREIGNER IN RECENT YEARS

Should Jack Dempsey and Georges Carpentier meet Jn the ring during the coming year, as appears most probable, it will be the first time since March

22, 1898, that a foreign heavyweight has been a serious contender for the world’s championship in this class. On that date Jim Jeffries knocked out Peter Jackson in three rounds, and while the famous Australian negro was but a shell of his former self, he still carried the European heavyweight honors. The victory gave Jeffries the right to the world’s heavyweight title beyond dispute. Jackson was the first Australian heavyweight champion. Later he added the title of English champion by knocking out Frank Slavin in London, and when he entered the ring against Jeffries he was the holder of European honors while Jeffries held undisputed title to the American championship. Jeffries’ honors in turn passed to Jack Johnson, Jess Willard, and on July 4, 1919, to Jack Dempsey. Carpentier by his two defeats of Bombardier Wells and his latest vic- . tory over Joe Beckett holds the title of European champion. Should he face Dempsey during the next few

months the French pugilist, who began his ring career as a featherweight, will be the first foreign heavyweight In several decades to enter the arena against an American with anything like a fair chance of winning the world’s heavyweight championship.

Chase, barring one brief adventure with the outlaw California State league In 1908, and his Federal league escapade in 1914-15, has been in the major leagues since 1905, when he broke in with the New York Yankees. From the start he has been one of the stormy petrels of baseball. He was early conceded to b|e the greatest first baseman of all time and one of the most effective hit-and-run batters that the game has ever produced. Yet no other player In the. history of the game has been more severely censured, more bitterly maligned than this slim, still boyish, and thoroughly likeable Californian.
