TAPEWORN IS THE THING

Consumptives Only Have to Cultivate One and It Eats the Tuberculosis Bacilli. Washington, April 7.—“ The tapeworm is -the natural enemy of the germ of consumption, and the latter cannot exist when the other is present,” says Consul Canada, at Vera Cruz, Mexico, in a report just received at the state department. The consul states that two eminent scientists hare discovered that the tapeworm prevents the organism from being infected with tuberculosis bacilli. It has been proven in the case of a consumptive inoculated with tapeworm that he completely recovered his health. To establish the efficiency of this remedy the doctors injected a liquid prepared from the taenia into several consumptives, which resulted in a complete cure.
