RECOVERS FROM CONSUMPTION

Subject of Tuberculosis Theory Said to Be Getting Well. Miss Emma H. King of New York, who offered herself as a subject for ex - perimentation to prove or disprove Prof.

Koch's theory of the non-intercom-municability of consumption .between the cow’ and man, is, according to her phrsieian, getting well. A healthy cow was innoculnted with serum from a consumptive patient; this disease was later developed in Miss King by inoculation from the cow, and then the young woman was cured, it is said. The first two stages of this series of daring experiments utterly disprove, according to the doctor, Prof. Koch's theory of n o n-intercoinmuni-cability; the third.

still according to him, demonstrates his own mastery over the most dreaded of all diseases. The treatment consists of inspiration of a bacteria-killing vapor. The patient sits in an air-tight chamber, the atmospheric pressure is reduced and the vapor forced into the mouth through a tube.
