Tesla Apparatus Tried on Tuberculosis

Although technical information has not been given out concerning it, the report is that Tesla oscillators, or something of the kind, are being tried by Dr. Croft C. Carroll of 21 East Twenty-fourth street, New York, and the result on two notably bad cases of tuberculosis is said to have been remarkably beneficial. Dr. Carroll is using the apparatus in his public clinic. Dr. John B. Rich, president of the American Microscopical society, is quoted as declaring it the most wonderful demonstration of positive beneficial results that he had ever seen in the treatment of germ diseases. One of the most notable cases cured was that of Dr. E. P. Iliff of Newark, N. J., a specialist in lung diseases, who contracted tuberculosis from one of his patients. He was given up for lost by his brother physicians, and in ten days after being treated was out attending to his practice. Rev. S. W. Switzer, of the Baptist tabernacle, Harrison, N. J., was very low with consumption, but was so helped that he was back on duty in less than three weeks. The principle of the apparatus is said to be the driving through the affected parts of a sufficient quantity of electricity to kill the germs, which are then eliminated from the system by nature.
