CONSUMPTION CUBE?

EXPERT ETVESTIGATIOX

(By Telegraph.)

(Special to "The Evening Post.')

AUCKLAND, This Day. An undertaking to discuss with an expert his formula and treatment claimed to be a cure for tuberculosis, was given to the Minister of Health to-day by the Eev. Edgar Ward, Vicar of the Chui-eh of the Ascension, Point Chevalier.

Since the publication of the report last week Mr. Ward has received numerous requests for supplies of the medicine, from as far away as Bnenos Aires and one from England containing a large order.

Following a communication from the Director-General of Health, Mr. Ward interviewed the Minister this morning, and informed him that two and a half yoars ago he had consulted the Health Department in reference to the treatment. The Department failed to follow up the matter, indeed, it gave him no encouragement whatever, and declined to discuss the matter further till ho had offered conclusive proof of the efficacy of the treatment. The Minister expressed surprise on hearing Mr. Ward's statement and asked if he would be prepared to discuss the details of the formula and treatment with the superintendent of a sanatorium. Mr. Ward said he would be prepared to do that, providing all the proceedings were regarded as strictly confidential. The assurance was given by Mr. Stallworthy that secrecy would be observed, and said that the necessary steps would be taken immediately. Mr. Ward will probably place the formula and treatment before a specialist next week.
