| Show ASEPSIN NEW REMEDY FOR THE TREAT JEST OF GONSUTOX Its Formula Will Be Made Known to the Medical Profession By the Discoverer Dr Cyrus Edson formerly health commissioner is preparing a report for I i prepa a publication I the Medical Record which will reveal for the first time the I formula used in the manufacture ot asepsin his new remedy for the treatment treat-ment of consumption says cue Nm r York World Dr Edsons report i to be ready In two weeks In I he will tall of the experiments which have ben made during the past four months not only by himself but by other physicians in this city and elsewhere I is said tiat from 70 to 80 per cent of the patients l I under this treatmtnt for consumption have the i been cured or are now on fair way to recovery and that remarkable remark-able results have been obtained in cases of malaria and intermittent fevers While Dr Ldson does not state that his remedy is Infallible he asserts that I it certainly is a great relief particular ly where phthisis Is far advanced Nearly 200 persons suffering from consumption con-sumption in this city are now being treated with asepsin The medicine 15 all prepared at present under the personal per-sonal supervision of Dr Edson Who has furnished It gratis t eminent physicians physi-cians Asepsin is a germicide I Is a prepr atlon of nascent phenic aci < L I I In teased for the cure of disease originating origin-ating from germ infection particularly < tuberculoss and malaria I may be In looted into the blood without producing any local Irritation or abscess The beneficial bene-ficial effects of phenic acid and crea sote when administered by the mouth to tuberculosis patients suggested to D Edson the Idea of preparing a fluid con tairnnsr the acid in nascent form which could be injected hypodermically with out producing irritation and in sufficient quantity to reinforce the system against germ invasion or in i t5lesrte words nr turn the scale of natural resistance In favor of cure The treatment consists of injecting i asepsin with a small hyperdennlc syrln gj f Dr Edson says that it is absoluttljt i harmless In the quantity prescribed fry him He has taken a number of injei ton himself The only unpleasant sym I tom he has yet seen Is that in some few individuals a small nonule ilt appear al b i pear at the points of injection but thaI tha-I gradually disappears I Dr Edson reports that the dosage In I a case of phthisis begins with from fifty to seventy minims and is Increased ten minims daily until 100 minims are given This is kept up until the patient la cured The patient should be sprayed twice a day with a solution consisting of ten parts of lodoform and of ninety parts of ether Preferably the asepsin Is injected into the abdominal parietes When for any reason this is unadvisable Dr Edson says he has Injected It into the muscles of the back Its action la more satisfactory If It la absorbed slowly Into the circulation The treatment treat-ment is kept up for at least thirty days after the disappearance of the bacilli r In the case of malarial Infection the mode of administration is somewhat different Two hundred minims of asepsin should be Injected in two Injections In-jections into the abdominal parietes as an initial dose the first day and 100 daily for seven days 100 every other day for seven days and the same amount every third day until three doses have been given The injections in-jections are then discontinued until the twentyeighth day when a single dose of 100 minims completes the treatment treat-ment Physicians who have used asepsin have made reports on the subject and these will be contained in Dr Edson report One report states that the physician had been called to attend a girl of 18 years who had developed consumption con-sumption The sputa was filled with bacilli and the young woman was In a state of collapse The physician told the parents that treatment would bo useless As an Illustration of the patients weakness the report relates that in a walk of seventyflve feet to a neighbors neigh-bors house she was compelled to stop and be supported while suffering a terrible paroxysm of coughing At a time when death seemed very near on October 26 asepsin came Into the physic ana possession and was at once applied The results obtained were remarkable remark-able The entire system awoke In response re-sponse to the treatment Night sweats ceased and the patient slept soundly Tie pains in the chest disappeared and breatning became easy The girl developed a natural appetite for food within a few weeks An eram ination of the sputa showed a rapid disappearance dis-appearance of the bacilla First there was a gain of two pounds in weight then five and she continued to improve until today she is nearly completely cured Dr Edson was asken last night If ha was the inventor of the asepsin I must decline to answer that question ques-tion he said My report will tell of this It will also tell the formula of the remedy At present I must not announce it Yet I will give it to the puo I dont think I ought to keep it a secret any longer If I had disclosed the formula form-ula at the very outset a host of preparations prepara-tions would have appeared on the market many if not most of which would ba useless because of carelessness In the details de-tails of manufacture In consequence of this the remedy which I know will prove a very great boon to humanity would be discredited and to an extent fall In its object Moreover if the greatest care Is not y taken in the preparation fthefluid f very great injury may oe aone die patient pa-tient The principal drawback known to the treatment Is that It must be administered admin-istered by an expert since the spray and injection cannot be given by every one Our experiments continued Dr Ed son have proven successful beyond expectation ex-pectation I can safely claim 70 per cent of cures and now I am prepared to make known what asepsin really Is Dr Bison said that the effect of the medicine upon blood poisoning malaria and bronchial troubles is magicaL |
