The Paris correspondent of the Times gives an interesting account
of a new treatment of tuberculosis, discovered by Dr. de Szendeffy, of Budapest. The treatment consists of injec- tion of a preparation of radio-active menthol-iodine, and after experiments lasting over three years, and conducted by a number of independent specialists in France as well as in Budapest, a report has been drawn up on seventy-five cases by Dr. Bernheim and Dr. Dieupart which was read before the Societe Internationale de la Tuberculose and the Societe de la Therapeutique in Paris on Wednesday. Remarkable results have been achieved in a number of severe cases, and the authors of the report do not hesitate to proclaim their belief that Dr. de Szendeffy " has made a most important discovery for the cure of tuberculosis," and that " his remedy is really the complete remedy of which he speaks in his researches."
