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 ing activitv if the blood of thoe who 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, forming a gaseous ozonlde of pinine which allowed to permeate the air In a room can be breathed as easil as o--ninar) air and without irritation When taken Into the lungs each molecule of this gas. which has been named Terpe zone, as soon as it comes into contact with the moist surf ice of the blood stream liberates active oxgen which has the oxidizing power of nascent oxy- HIGH GRADE FLOOR COVERINGS AT EXCEPTIONALLY LOW PRICES AXMINSTER RUGS Size 27x54 in $: :f, value Si. 73 -Size 36x70 In , SI 00 value SX50 Size 9x11 ft .

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 fering "I have found the new gas of value 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) I do not advise It " Ilr 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) to the cubic millimeter Consumptives have rain) less ometlmes under 4 000,000 and in the last stages under 3 000 000 In eight of the earlier caes observed by Dr Waters the count before treatment ranged from 3.4SO000 to 4,790 000 In every nstance the use of Terpezone when regi.' larlv administered caused a decided in crease Subioined Is a condensed state ment of observations "The first was a woman of twentv four in the third stage of tuberculosis, suffering s mptomatlcall for about a ear before treatment, general condition poor both lungs affected, little toxaemia; sputum gave positive evidence of tu itrcle bacilli Treatrrent was in this city In a room with a north exposure opening on a court and no direct sunlight.
