In response to Invitations from prominent physicians and scientists in Paris and Berlin, Dr. B. F. Roberts, formerly of Greene City, Mo., has tone to Europe to explain hts discoveries in animal therapy and to demonstrate the value of the goat's lymph treatment. There is no secret or patent or on the lymph. The formula has been given to the medical profession, sad Dr. Roberts' main work now is the Instruction of physician in its use. This is the remedy which effected the sensational cure tn the rase of Irvin Fuller Bush of 3oliet, III. Mr. Bush is a wealthy man, who seven months ago was committed to an asylum as hopelessly Insane. After" nil other known methods of treatment had beeu exhausted the goat's lymph wot used, and today Mr. Bush Is attending to his business affairs and is apparently as sound and perfect mentally as any ran in the country. Previous to this the lymph had received the indorsement of eminent physicians In all par-t- of the country, one of them being Dr. W. H. Hartwell of Vandeventer and Washington avenues, St. Louis, who says be is us'ng it in h's general practice with justifying results. Its newspaper notoriety has been attained by the cure in the Bush case, and it is baa therefore come to be regarded as a specific for inmen say this is an sanity. Medi-error. The goat's lymph is not a specific or a panarea or a cure-a- ll either in insanity or any other form of disease, and no such claims are made for it by the discoverer or any of the reputable doctors who use it Its principal value is as a revitaliser, a restorer of lost functions due to advanced age, and id a number of annoying ailments, such as rheumatism, locomotor ataxia. cop-rlgt- at s al new-fangl- the vital force of healthy animats could be transplanted into the human aya-tewith the purpose, off caring or warding off disease and 1 ncreasln g The duration of life. This la hardly the explanation that would be gives by a medical acientiat, hut it is In the main correct and conveys the proper idea to the mind of the for Inlay redder. Dr. Brown-Sequarstance, made what he called an elixir of life from living animals, while Prof. Koch obtained a lymph by tha Inoculation plan, graduating it by various somewhat after the transmissions, manner of securing the new types of In all of these remedies, l essential of cell however, the life was missing, and it was this defect that prevented the accomplishment of great results st times when success seemed almost within the grasp of the Dr, Roberta daring experimenters. studied all of the systems closely, and then guardedly told a few of hia medical brethren: What we need is not a preparation from a dead animal, nor a product of inoculation, but the transplanting of active cell life from a healthy animal direct to the patient. This proposition was bolder even than that made by Jenner, and received as little consideration from the medical fraternity. The bare idea of a country doctur presuming to tell the savants of Europe lhat they were working on wrong tinea was preposterous. Dr, Roberts explained' hia theory, and. the professors shrugged their shoulders and smiled, But the Missouri physician labored on, and finally there came a time when it wal. admitted that hia idea of the transplanting of active cell life might be the correct one. But, allowing that it is, argued the doubters, wbat are you going' to do about it? It is impossible to maintain life In these cells for any-- length of time after they are taken Irani the animal, and consequently you are no further advanced thh other experimenters, who use the products of Inoculation or extracts made from dead d, antl-toxin- es one-vita- animals. , . Dr. Roberts went ahead with his investigations. At first he experimented on varioh&animals to satisfy himself as to ,their health, hardiness and general fitness for his purpose, and finally picked out the wdinary goat as being the most Immune from disease. It te well known that the goat in its natural condition la absolutely unafteotad by tuberculosis, glanders,' anthrax' aaa similar ailments, which attack all oth-a- r grazing animals, and that It is well-niimpossible to inoculate it with any of these diseases. Having satisfied himself that the goat was the animal he wanted, Qr, Roberts selected A number of young kiefs, averaging about S months of age, in order that ha might have the additional benefit of youth In the cell life. From these kids he drew the lymph, taking it mainly from the thoracic gland. This lymph he injected hypodermically into dogs, which were later vivisected to note the effect of the treatment. In on case he took two dogs from the same litter, both being of the same age and well along tn years. One of these dogs was killed. Its interior organs, bone structure, etc., showed plainly the marks of old age. The other dog was subjected to the lymph treatment lor some months, during which lta general health was manifestly improved. It became more active, ate better, and outward evidence of the approach of old age disappeared to a great degree. Finally One of 1 te was .amputated, and tha bone compared with a similar ona t&k- - gh ' - IF. BUSH. paralysis, epilepsy and similar afflic- tions, American medical men' are naturally Jubilant over the fact that one of their number has succeeded in solving a problem with which some of the most famous scientists in' the world have struggled in vain for years. Prof. Koch d of Paris, of Berlin, Dr. Dr. W. A. Hammond of Washington and others of almost equal fame have given the b$8t parts of their lives to a study of this subject In various forma without material satisfactory results. They frjgve accomplished just trffmgh to convince themselves and the medical profession In general that they were working on the fight lines so far as the idea of a lymph treatment was concerned, but were never able to reach the grand finale of being able to demonstrate its merlta in a practical way. During tirthe jreaf that tfreaw moua men were experimenting, a quiet,? country doctor inMissouri was read- gf the reports lng of their investigations, as printed tn the medical Journals, and trying to solve the knotty In his problems For own - way.

Dr. Roberts suddenly became a man of importance in 4 the medical world. Roberta Dr. patients flocked to home at Greene City In large somber, and his fame spread all Over the world. Then came a demand from tbe medical profession for the foimula of the lymph, and Dr. Roberts at oned made it public. He did more than this. He invited physician to come to his Missouri home and study the treatment so they might use II in their general practice. Among those who went were a number ot Chicago men, including Dr. Joseph R.

After a close investigation, however, they came back thorough converts to the new treatment They investigated the entire process carefully, talked with patients whoJiad been cured, obtained evidence that over 800 people bad been treated with out a single failure, and then said: Dr. Roberta, you owe It to tha medical fraternity and to humanity to transfer your headquarters to some larger and more central point where you can reach more physiclann.
