h LYMPH ANO ITS WORK Prof. Koch Describes the Full Details of His Wonderful Panacea. the Remedy Has a Specific Effect Upon Tubercular Tissues. Despite Cavil, Many Patients Now Show Pronounced Improvement. Experimental Data Regarding Its Application, With Results. Ur.ni.iN-, Jan. Prof. Koch's report published to-day describing the com position of the lymph is comparatively brief, It says the lymph consists of a glycerine extract derived from the pure cultivation of the tubercle bacilli. Prof. Koch says: "Since publishing, two months ago, the results of my experi ments with the new remedy for tuber culosis, many physicians who received the preparation have been enabled to become acquainted with its properties through their own experiments. So far as 1 have been able to review the state ments published and the . communica tions received by letter, my indications have been • fully • and- completely con firmed. The general consensus of opin ion is 'that the remedy has a specific effect upon tnbercular tissues, and is, therefore, applicable as a very delicate ami sure reagent for discovering latent and diagnosing ddTibtful tuberculosis processes. Regarding the curative ef fects of the remedy, most reports agree that, despite the comparatively short duration of its application, many pa tients have shown more or less pro nounced 'improvement." It has been affirmed that not in a few cases even a cure has been established.. Standing quite by itself is the assertion that the remedy may not only be dangerous in cases which have advanced too far— a fact which may forthwith be conceded —but also that it actually promotes The Tuberculous Process. being therefore injurious. During the past six weeks, I myself have had opportunity to bring -together further experiences touching the curative ef fects and diagnostic application of the remedy In the case of about 150 suffer ers from tuberculosis of the most varied types in this city and in the Moabit hospital. 1 can only say that every thing 1 have latterly seen accords with mv previous observations. There has been nothing to mo lify in what 1 before reported. As long as it was only a ques tion of proving the accuracy of my in dications, it was needless for any one to know what the remedy contained or whence It was derived. On the con trary. subsequent testing wonld neces sarily be more unbiased, the less people knew of the remedy itself. Now after sufficient confirmatory testing, the im portance ol the lemedy is proved, my next task is to extend my study of the remedy beyond the field where it has hitherto been applied and if possible to apply the principle underlying the discovery to other diseases. This task naturally demands a full knowledge of the remedy. I, therefore, consider that the time has arrived when the requisite indications in this direction shall be made. This is done in what follows, Before going into the remedy itself, 1 deem it necessary, for the better under standing of its mode of operation, to state briefly the way by which I arrived at the discovery. If a Healthy Guinea Pis be inoculated with the pure cultivation ot German kultur of tubercle bacilli, the wound caused by the inoculation mostly closes over with a sticky matter and appears, in its early days, to heal. Only after ten to fourteen days a hard nodule presents itself, which, soon breaking, forms an ulcerating sore, which continues until the animal dies. Quite a differ ent condition of things occurs whim a Guinea pig already suffering from tuberculosis is inoculated. An animal successfully Inoculated from four to six weeks before is best adapted for this purpose. In such an animal, the small indentation {assumes the same sticky covering -at the beginning, but no nodule forms. On the contrary, on the day following or the second day after the inoculation, the place where the lymph is injected shows a strange change. It becomes hard and assumes a darker coloring, which is not con lined to the inoculation spot, butspreads to tho neighboring parts until it attains a diameter of from .05 to 1 metre. In a few days it becomes more and more manifest that the skin thus changed is necrotic, finally falling off, -leaving a Hat ulceration, which usually heals rapidly and permanently without any cutting into the adjacent, lymphatic glands. Thus the injected tubercular bacilli quite differently affect the skin of a healthy guinea pig from one af fected with tuberculosis. This effect is not exclusively produced with living tubercular bacilli, but is also observed with the dead bacilli, the result being the same whether, as 1 discovered by experiments at the outset, the bacilli are killed by a somewhat prolonged ap plication of a low temperature or boil ing heat or by means of certain chemi cals. This peculiar fact 1 followed up in all directions, and this further result was obtained— that killed pure cultiva tions of tubercular bacilli, after rinsing in water, might be injected in great quantities under healthy guinea "pigs' without anything occurring beyond local suppuration." Prof. Koch here interpolates a note that such iujections belong to the simplest and surest means of producing suppuration free from living bacteria. Experimental Data. Tuberculous guinea pigs, on the other hand, are killed by the injection of very small quantities of such oiluted cultiva tions. In tact, within six to forty-eight hours, according to the strength of the dose, an injection which is not sufficient to produce the death of the animal may cause extended necrosis to the skin in the vicinity of the place of Injection. If the dilution is still further diluted, until it is scarcely visibly clouded, the animals inoculated remain alive and a noticeable improvement in their condi tion soon supervenes. If the injec tions arc continued at intervals of from one to two days, the ulcerating in oculation wound becomes smaller and finally scars over, which otherwise it never does; the size of the swollen lymphatic glands is reduced, the body becomes better nourished, and the mor bid process ceases, unless it has gone too far, in which case the animal per ishes from exhaustion. By this means the basis of a curative process against tuberculosis was established.' Against the practical application of such dilu tions of dead tubercle bacilli there pre sented the fact that the tubercle bacilli arc not absorbed at the inoculation points, nor do they disappear in another way, but for a long time remain un changed and engender greater or smaller suppurative foci. Anything, therefore, intended to exercise a heal ing effect on the tuberculous process must be a soluble substance which would be lixiviated to a certain extent by the Fluids of the Body floating around the tubercle bacilli and be transferred in a fairly rapid manner to the juices of the body, while the sub stance producing suppuration appar ently remains behind in the tubercular bacilli or dissolves but very slowly. The only important point was, there fore, to induce outside the body the process going on inside if possible, ana to extract from the tubercular bacilli alone the curative substance. This de manded time and toll, until I finally succeeded, with the aid ol a 40 to 50 per cent solution of glycerine, In obtaining an effective substance from the tuber-, cular bacilli. With the fluid ?9 obtained 1 made further experiments on animais, and finally on human beings. These fluids were' given to other physicians to enable them to repeat the experi ments. The remedy which is used in the new treatment consists of glycer ine extract derived from the pure culti vation of tubercle bacilli. Into the sim ple extract there naturally passes from the tubercular bacilli, besides the effect ive snbstances,all the other matter solu ble in 50 per cent glycerine. Conse quently it contains a certain quantity of mineral salts, coloring substances and other unknown extractive matter. Some of these substances can be re moved from it tolerably easily. The effective substance is insoluble in ab solute alcohol. It can be precipitated by it, though not, indeed, In a pure con dition, but still combined with the other extractive matter, which Is likewise in soluble in alcohol.. The coloring mat ter may also be removed, rendering it possible to obtain from the extract a colorless, dry substance containing the effective principle in a much more con centrated form than the original glycer ine solutions. For application in prac tice, this purification of the glycerine extract offers no advantage, because the substances so eliminated are uuessential for the human organism. The process of . purification would make the cost ot the remedy unnecessarily high. Cli em ical Analysis. Regarding the constitution of the more effective s übstances only sur mises may, for the present, be ex pressed, lt appears to me to be deriva tive from albuminous bodies having a close affinity to them, It does not be long to the group of so-called toxalbu mens, because it bears high tempera tures and in the dialyser goes easily and rjuicklv through the gangrene. The proportion of the substance in the extract to all appearance is very small. lt is estimated at fractions of 1 per cent which, if correct, vve should have to do with a matter whose effect upon organisms attacked with tubercu losis goes far . beyond what is known 'to us of the strongest drugs. Regarding the matter in which the specific action of the remedy on tuberculous issue is to be represented, various hypothesis may naturally be put forward. Without wishing to affirm that my view affords the best explana tion, 1 represent the process myself in the following manner: The tubercle bacilli produced when growing in living tissues, the same as in artificial cultiva tions, contain certain substances which variously and unfavorably influence living elements in their vicinity. Among these is a substance which, in a certain degree of concentration, kills, or so alters KB Li % Ing; Protoplasm that It passes into a condition that Weighert describes as coagulation ne crosis. In tissue thus become necrotic the baceillus finds such unfavorable conditions of nourishment that it can grow no more and sometimes dies. This explains the remarkable phenomenon that in organs, newly attacked with tuberculosis, for instance in guinea pigs' spleen and liver, which then are covered with gray nodules, numbers of bacilli are found, whereas they are rarer, or wholly absent, when the enor mously enlarged spleen consists almost entirely of whitish substance in a con dition of coagulation necrosis such as is often found in cases of natural death in tuberculous guinea pigs. The single bacillus cannot, therefore, induce nec rosis at a great distance, for as soon as necrosis attains a certain extension the growth of the bacillus subsides, and therewith the production of the necro tismg substance. A kind of reciprocal compensation thus occurs, causing the vegetation of isolated bacilli to remain so extraordinarily restricted, as, for in stance, in tupus and scrofulous glands, In such cases the necrosis generally ex tends only to a part of the cells, which then, with further growth, assumes the peculiar form of rieseu zelle, or giant cell. Thus in this interpretation follow first the explanation Weighert gives of the production of giant cells. If, now, one increased artificially in the vicinity of the bacillus to the amount of necro tising substance in the tissue, the ne crosis would spread a greater distance. The Conditions of Nourishment for the bacillus would thereby become more unfavorable than usual. In the first place the tissue which had become necrotic over a larger extent would decay and detach itself, and where such were possible would carry off the in closed baccilli and eject them outwardly so far disturbing their vegetation that they would much more speedily be killed than under ordinary circum stances. It is just in looking at such changes that the effect of the rem edy appears to consist. It contains a certain quantity of uecrotising sub stance, a correspondinly large dose of which injures certain tissue elements oven in a healthy person, and perhaps the white blood corpuscles or adjacent cells, thereby producing fever and a complication of symptoms, whereas with tuberculosis patients a much smaller quantity suffices to induce at certain places, namely, where tubeicule bacilli are vegetating and have already impreg nated the adjacent region with uecro tising matter, more or less extensive necrosis of the cells, with the phenom ena in the whole organism which result from and are connected with it. .Thus, for the present at least, it is impossible : to explain the speciGc influence which the remedy in accurately defined doses exercises unon the tuberculous tissues, \ and the possibility of increasing the doses with such remarkable rapidity and the remedial effects which have un questionably been produced under not too favorable circumstances." . . - Prof. Koch concludes with a refer ence to the duration of the remedy. Of the consumptive patients whom he de scribed as temporarily cured, two Wave returned to the Moabit hospital for further observation. No bacilli have appeared in their sputum for the past three mouths, and their phthisical symptoms have gradually aud com pletely disappeared. EVA ANNOYED. j Joshua Mann Piles Papers for a Divorce. * New Yor.K, Jan. 15.— Mrs. Eva Ham ilton, whose contest of Robert Ray Hamilton's will is proceeding in this city, was irritated and cast down during the latter part of the trial to-day. The cause was found in the announcement that Joshua Mann had filed papers for a divorce, and Eva had beeu served with notice during recess. Her counsel sub sequently said that Mann was crazy; that the suit amounted to nothing. However, Joshua alleges that he met Eva on the 19th day of April, 1881. and they agreed to live together as man and wife, and did thereafter 4ive together as such. He had visited Eva's relatives on sev eral occasions, had always been recog nized as her husband by them, and the fact of her being his lawful wife was never questioned by anyone. When he learned that she had pretended to marry Hamilton, he considered .the matter. a joke. No ceremony by a minister is re ferred to. The will contest is still on. Hot Springs, Arkansas. ..

Bear Forces in the Pit Get Them Badly Rattled and Stampeded. Price of May Wheat Yields With Rapidly Increasing Momentum. Politics at Washington- Influ ence the Wall Street Stock Market. One Effect the Marked Mate rial Decline in Silver Cer tificates. Chicago, Jan. 15.— principal interest of the session centered as usual in the wheat pit, which, between a quiet introduction and finale, embraced a considerable period of more than ordinary activity. Weakness was the feature of tbe deal, although the actual decline hince yesterday afternoon was only %c in the May delivery and %c in July. It was a subject of rather general remark that the milking process which has drained the lacteal sustenance of the country bulls is now being applied about as successfully to the local members of tbe same persuasion, with . evidences of the victims becoming tired of submitting to further manipulation. The expression of the general opinion at : the opening showed itself in fa vor of higher prices. The opening transactions were at 06% c for May, which was a shade of improvement since yesterday afternoon. For nearly an hour the market was supported by a moderate number of buy ing orders, the mice of the May delivery was held within the range of 06V2@9C%c. The market had so far acted after the manner of a deliberative body which had passed a bill by a rather narrow majority, requiring, how ever, the assent of the executive head before it could become a law. Mr. Pardridge repre sented the gubernatorial Jove, wielding the veto thunderbolts, and .hurled a few sample shafts of his forked lightning into the wheat pit in the shape of a band of brokers with selling orders in token of his entire dissent from the opinion of the for mer majority. There was a slight de cline after this action and a tew - minutes of protesting on the other side, but quick com pliance with the mandate which had gone forth was enforced by more of those men sengers,whose additional selling orders made a quick submission appear the safest outlet from an uncomfortable position. The price began .to yield, slowly at first, but with a momentum which momentarily kept increas ing to the accompaniment of that dull roar of many voices which plainly told that Ihe bulls were on the run. .- During the rush of the bulls to sell out their wheat, which was the mnin feature in the market for an hour, the price of the Mny delivery declined to !)5%c. From extreme activity there was a change to weary dullness. C. Swartz, Far mum Logan A Co., who were heavy sellers on the decline, • and Pardridge also, commenced picking up such strag gling lots as were offered for sale around 95% c and 960, during the latter part of the session. The cables were slightly easier in tone. Buffalo millers were said to be free buyers of wheat in their own market. New York reported the acceptance to-day of several small parcels of wheat submitted to the United Kingdom by cable yesterday. Beerbohm's dispatch notes the fact of a con tinuous of a continental demand for wheat. Prices reacted to 95?fcc for May, and closed witb sellers at that price. There was weak ness in corn from the beginning; trading was inactive, and fluctuations showed a ten dency toward lower level as the session prog ressed. Oats attracted more attention than usual, the market declining steadily under free selling, and closed %c lower. Provis ions started firmer, the smaller receipts of hogs and the activity In the demand for thsm at better prices 'as reported from tbe yarns. The weakness in grain circles may have had something to do with a weak ness which succeeded the early strength, but the packers found their advantage iv selling, and that was probably the principal hin drance to an advance.

Its most marked effect to-.. , day was seen in the material decline in the price of Silver Certificates, which, if any thing, it was expected would be benefited by such a measure. The drift of opin ion among silver speculators, how ever, was that the very , extremity ot the measure would defeat it and as little hope of its getting through the bouse was _ entertained, many who have bought and held , on for this very event, sold out as quickly as ( possible, making a drop of 2 cems and more , in the value of tbe certificates. Another ef- , feet of the passage of the bill upon the stock ] market was the stiffening.of the rates of ex change caused by the large purchases by peo ple who fear the outcome of such legislation. The conservative people who have lately been investing in securities were also given 1 pause, and the market being left without i this most influential support became an easy prey to the reactionists and the bears, who , were joined by the traders in their ef forts to get prices down, and the result of their efforts is seen in the materially lower, prices estab lished during the day. The sensation of the day was the strength in New Kngland, winch has been rising mysteriously for a long time, but to-day a reason was forthcoming in the assertion that both the New England and .; the New Haven had applied to the legisla tures of Connecticut and Massachusetts for l tho passage of a law which would permit them to consolidate. The strength in New England, in fact, had some influence in creating a resistance to the downward move ment in the early trading, but the general list soon broke away from it, and the tend ency for most of the day was downward after that time. The market was nar rower than for some time, the few leading stocks monopolizing a .greater share of the dealings . than ~: at- any time since the first of the year, and the move ments 01 importance were almost entirely confined to these stocks. The opening was weak under the pressure of the reactionary element, but the usual demand of the ; first ; hour, together with the unusual strength shown by New England, rallied the market,; and prices, as a rule, were again brought up to about the level of last night's figure. The pressure, however, soon forced * a decline, and while the list displayed considerable feverishness and irregularity during the day, each decline carried prices a little lower than the preceding one, and in the last hour there was a large amount of short stock put ! on the market, with the effect of accel erating the decline, and the lowest prices of the day were ' reached at the close. Missouri Pacific displayed some strength in the early trading, but gave way with the remainder after the first hour, while the retaliatory measures of the Hock Island iv shutting the Union Pacific from its tracks ; had the most marked effect upon the last ' named stock at the opening, its first price be ing 1% Der cent lower than last night's fig ure. It got but a shade lower, however, and closed with the opening loss. Sugar showed the continuance of the liquidations, and, after opening off 1 per cent, fell away still farther. The grangers, • Villards and the London favorites were all specially weak, _ . though in the last named it looked more like : manipulation for effect than real sell ing for foreien account. The ..final changes are almost all in the direction of lower prices, the only marked exception being a gain of IM3 in New England, which reacted lowarcLthe close.

Public cables have been quoted strong and weak re cently, but showing little, inclination in -.the long run, either to advance or decline for some weeks. There was about the , usual movement reported from farm granaries, and arrivals here are not expected to change much in amount, while the price of spot . wheat remains so close to the price of May. Considerable of the country holdings was bought on the basis of a wider spread, be tween cash and May, so that the present dif ference gives satisfactory results. The volume of trade is increasing, and while ; there has been too little interest in the mar ket for a few weeks to bring out the strong , points, many are of the opinion that the market is shaping to that end. Money is more plentiful, aud the comparative ease with which it is made available tends, as many think, to restoration of confidence. After the early buying orders had been filled there was a lack of support to futures, and the market for May fell to 93e in a few minutes. Considerable of the weak ness was due to sympathy with quite a general decline in other places. Total receipts at . the four principal spring wheat points since Aug. 1, the beginning of the cropwear, foot up: Minneapolis, 30.580, --201 bu: Duluth, 10,783,421 bu; Chicago, 10,120, --i, 210 bu; Milwaukee, 4,306,389 bn, making a total of 55,796,221 bu, against 63,898, 105 bu dur ing Ibe same lime last year and 40,694,804 bu in 1889.

An Advisory Board Return Checks to Subscribers. PiTTSBUito, Pa., Jan. 15.— The an : nouncement this morning that the ad visory board appointed by bankers and business men of this city to look into the affairs of the Westinjrhouse inter ests with a view of loaning the various concerns in need of assistaiice?soo,ooo to carry them through their . present financial difficulties, had returned the checks, notifying the subscribers that it' would not • be advis able to use any of the fund occasioned no surprise.as the action had been expected for several days. The result was there was no material de cline in the stocks to-day. Financiers and stockholders now favor the appoint ment of a receiver for the Westinghouse Electric company, and an application to court looking to 'that end was expected this morning, but up to noon it had not been made. It is stated that Mr. West inehouse is now in New York . after funds, and If successful in raising the necessary amount, he will be able to weather the storm. It is said Mr. West injrhouse telegraphed from New York to-day that matters there are rosy. It was generally believed that there were two reasons which led the advis ory committee to return the money to the subscribers, one being that the res olution under which the committee is acting entailed upon them the arrange ment for the extension of all the claims of general creditors— which would lead to weeks of hard work and for which the members did not have time. The other reason was that the committee could not use the money without practically assuming the direc tion of the business of the company, which they did not care to do. The capital stock of the company is $10,000,000 and the par value of the stock $50. It is now selling at $7. Two suits were entered against the Westing house Electric company this afternoon for small amounts. (hie was by the Keystone bank, of Erie, Pa., lor $2,000, and the other by Park Bros. & Co., steel manufacturers of this city.for $800. New Yor.K, Jan. 15.— Paul D. Cro vath, counsel for George Westinghouse Jr., was seen to-night, and beyond mak ing the following statement, tef used to say anything relative to the financial condition of Mr. W'estinghouse's affairs: "The rumors regarding the financial difficulties of Mr.JWestinghouse and the Westinghouse Electric company, which have been sent out from Pittsburg dur ing the last day or two. are very largely exaggerated. Mr. Westinghouse ex pects" to return to Pittsburg to-morrow eveniner, and with the assurance of as sistance, whicii he has recently received here, has strong hope of relieving the Westinghouse Electric company, which is the only one of his companies in serious financial difficulty. The reports which have been sent out within the last day or two are so full of errors that it would not be profitable to discuss them in detail." ST. PAIU. REAL ESTATE.
