Show THE LYMPH HASTENED DEATH. Tha Flrat Patient Inoculated la thli Country Coun-try Di. Under Tr.atin.nt. New Haves, Conn., Feb. 8. George M. Bradley, the first patient In this country to receive lymph inoculation, died yesterday, and a son of Professor Hlake, another lymph patient who has been under treatment for nearly two months, is at the point of death. Bradley Brad-ley was 30 years of age and was not in au advanced stage of consumption when he began receiving treatment. During the past few weeks he suffered intensely, as the treatment had a distressing dis-tressing effect, upon his throat, making it difficult and extremely painful to take nourishment. The physicians state death was undoubtedly hastened by the condition of bis throat. Prof. Chittenden said: "I cannot seo how Uradley's death can have any effect upon the value of lymph. It is, perhaps, natural that the public will at first look upon it as showing the failure of tho lymph, but among doctors and people who consider it intelligently I cannot see how it will have any effect. Tho case was a particularly bad one for the use of lymph. ( )ne of "the man's lungs was nearly gone and the other in a bad condition. He was also suffering from laryngitis and it was for this that tho lymph was especially used. The lymph did a great deal of good for this trouble. A man with Uradley's trouble would probably have died with strangulation. strang-ulation. It is possible the lymph had some remote effect upon the lungs, but I don't think it hastened death. |
