NEW GAS TO AID
Vitalizes the Blood and Is of
Great Health-Giving
Value.
L DISCOVERY OF W. J. KNOX
Surprising Medical Records Revealed.
Work Done Among Blackwells
Island Patients.
The New lork Globe. In its Tuesday's
issue, sa)s it believes the subjoined ar-
(cle to be an extremely conservative de
uripUon of a scientific discover that
promises to be of great medical value.
The doctors mentioned are naturally
loncommittal They are unwilling to
nake general deductions. whi h may
orove misleading, from individual cases
They are well satisfied, however, with
he results obtained.
To bring to the sick room, wherever
iltuated and in an environment, arti
icially atmospheric conditions which, in
i natural state have been found of
he highest health-giving value is a new
iihlevement of science (described In the
not modest terms), details of which the
3Iobe has learned and now makes pub
it in advance of their announcement
hrougli professional channels. Well-as-ertaincd
facts regarding this remark
able discover have been known for
three years, and during that period, by
means of it. no inconsiderable amount
of medical work has been accomplished,
with results that seem to warrant the
most bangulne expectations. But, for
reasons not altogether based on scien
tific reticence, the secret has. until now,
been carefull guarded.
The disiov erer illlam J Knox, an
American chemist, professes no more
than to have hit upon a means of re
storing by natural process, to impov
erished blood the normal suppl of
hemoglobin and red .orpu-cles. and so
increasing the essential oxidative actlv
it of the health blood stream. In sim
pler language he is able to make good
radical deficiencies In the blood, and so
restore its vital qualities The powers
f resistance of the patient are thus
raised to the maximum and the process
of upbuilding impaired tissue and life
tells Is accelerated
This is Mr Knox's view of what he
has done Description of the medical
applications he leaves to phsicians
who have tested his discovery That
the have found It of great value in
i he treatment of consumption, striking
as that fact is. he regards as merely
an incident of his work which he is
unwilling to emphasize. His original
purpose once the principle he had con
ieived was demonstrated to his satis
faction, was to devote his attention to
the problems presented by secondary
.anaemia, that is a condition of the
Tilood accompanying certain diseases, of
which tuberculosis Is perhaps the most
conspicuous in which the Ilfe-preserv
ing properties of the blood are serious-
diminished Victims of consumption
came readilj to hand 'and offered In the
most definite form the conditions with
which he sought to deal. The effect)
shown in the blood stream confirmed
his belief
Apart from the direct destruction of
the lungs, one of the marked symptoms
of consumption is the loss of hemoglo
bin and red corpuscles In the blood,
which is followed as a consequence by
general emaciation and debilit Air
Knox found that in man cases, even
where exhaustion was extreme he could
in a reasonably short time bring hack
to the blood the vital constituents It
had lost rrest of the primary disease
and restoration of patients to health.
natural as they were in such circum
stances, he looks upon as a result out
side his province
"Nature of 1hr Nrn cenf.
Before going into the medical aspects
of the matter It Is necessar) to describe
briefl) the nature of the Knox discover
It rests on a theorv, new in its fullest
development, to science, that the quar
tltv of the oxvgen in the air we breathe
is less Important than the degree of its
readlnes to combine with other sub
stances for which in chemical phrase,
it has an aflinitv In this view, 'had
air is air the ox. gen in which is for
one reason or other men In othe
words It is in such a condition of In
activitv that when respired into the
lungs, ilthough it is taken up by the
hemoglobin nf the blood nevertheless the
blood In uch condition fails to perform
as ftdl as it should Its functions as an
oxidizer
To these conclusions Mr Knox was
led bv observations of the effect upon
the blood of certain atmosphererlc con
ditions That consumptives have the
lest chance of life in fairb high alti
tudes among pine-clad hills is well
known Mr Knox traced this result to
the oxidizing activitv of the air in such
onditions and to the consequent oxidiz

breathed it He Fought an artificial
means of imparting this propert to con
nned air wherever those who need it may
be This he obtained bv combining ozone
with pinine the essence of turpentine,

gen, that is, oxjgen In Its most active
form. This, according to the theory of
Mr. Knox. Is why Terpezone, supplying
an atmosphere nch In active oxygen, has
been found to have so marked an effect
on persons suffering from anaemia, a
Ilovv It I Mnde.
A technical word as to the gas and
'ts generator
Terpezone is a definite chemical sub
stance consisting of minute particles or
aggregates of mo'ecuies of plnlne ozonlde
suspended In a large excess of air. The
rartlcles are of a camphor-like nature
that is, they possess a high vapor ten
sion and become gaseous and Invisible
without losing their chemical Identity.
Terpezone Is formed by intermioing
gaseous ozone made by ozonizing drv
air and Iry pinlne vapor, the latter
made by passing do air over the surface
of pure gaseous pinlne.
A generator Is provided In which air,
preferabl from an outside source. Is first
dried by being passed through lumps of
fused calcium chloride This air stream
is then divided Into two parts, one of
which passes over the surface of neutral
pinene and the other through an ozone
generating device The two air streams
are combined In a gas-mixing chamber.
This generator 's operated by the ordi
nary electric illuminating current.
Treatment of consumption and other
diseases by inhalations and gas genera
tors is not new, nor are efforts to employ
ozone and ox gen. In fact, only the irri
tating effect of ozone has prevented Its
geneial use. its virtues as a germicide
and vitnllier of the blood having- been
long recognized Similarly the value of
pinene as a nerve sedative and a stimu
lant of mucous membranes is well estab
lished and its therapeutic properties have
not been neglected Terpexone, while
containing no free ozone, and being a dis
tinct chemical entit, pinene ozonide,
seems to possess all the beneficial proper
ties of its constituent elements and none
of those that are harmful
The practical medical use of Terpezone
can be more simply described, being
shown In medical records of work done.
DeMroer nf Dlnenne Germs.
One of the striking properties of the
gas is its germicidal efficiency This has
been demonstrated by a series of bacte
riological tests made b Dr Albert G
Bennett, instructor of bacteriology. In
Bellevue Medlca1 College He regards
Terpezone as one of the most complete
destroyers of disease germs His tests
were simple and conclivlve. Using broth
cultures of the germs of such diseases as
pneumonia, diphtheria and Uphold, he
exposed one set to Terpezone upder a bell
jar for periods ranging from twenty-five
to ninety minutes, the other (control) sets
being kept apart. Both sets were then
incubated In ever case it was found
that the 'et exposed to Terpezone showed
no growth the disease germs had been
destroed The sets not exposed to Ter
pezone showed marked growth of disease
getm colonles-they were very much
alive Even without the use of the hood
and exposed to the gas merely in a room
permeated with It, the air of which Dr
Bennett breathed without the slightest
discomfort, disease germs were as effec
tivel destro)ed. this being as true of the
germ of the deadly anthras as well as of
pathogenic germs of less persistent vl
tallt nxiicrlnicnta mi niarkvrelli- lalaml.
For the last eighteen months or mor
experimental stud of Terpezone as' a
therapeutic agent has been carried on In
the Metroopltian Hospital on Blackwells
Island b Dr Ephraim D Klots, where
five of the generators have been used,
at Riverside Hospital by Dr Bertram II
Waters chief of tuberculosis clinics of
'clinics. The machines ha've been used also
the Health Department, and In private
by several phsiclans in private practice.
The medical results obtained It is not
for a lay Journal to Judge. It may be
said here, however, that among many
others 30 or 400 fifty-three victims of
tuberculosis have been' treated In the
Metropolitan Hospital, of whose cases
exhaustive records have been kept Dr
Klots. while unwilling to discuss his
observations for a lay newspaper and
preferring to await the appearance of a
paper dealing with Terpezone. which he
understood Dr Waters was preparing for
the medical press was Induced to make
tliee general remarks
"I will say that I believe a most valu
able therapeutic agent has been given
the world The results that I have ob
tained have been eminently satisfactor
In anaemic patients the gas has built
the blood count to normal and above In
a short time. Any phsMdan knows what
that means
' In tuberculo'is it has proved of great
value In the earlier stages of the dis
ease we have suceeded in completel ar
resting its. progress In a number of cases
"Evenln advanced cases the gas has
proved of Inestimable benefit, as It has
relieved the patient of nrlich of his suf

in the treatment of other diseases, and
careful Investigation has shown that It
has no deleterious effects on any of the
organs Including the kidneS Where
there is plethora (over-fulnes of blood)

ills
f I.lBllt Cuu'n,
Dr Waters, like the Inventor, Mr
Knox, has been interested mainly In tli
effect of Terpezone on the blood, and
his studies have had to do largely with
this aspect of its application In most
of the cases treated by him he has noted
a rapid rise In the number of red blood
cells. The number of these cells In a
person of normal health is about 5,000 0u)
