SPAHLINGER CURE?

DIRECT ACCUSATION BY LONDON JOURNALIST INTERVIEWS WITH PATIENTS -NO MORE PERSONS OR FUNDS SHOULD GO FROM ENGLAND EVIDENCE OF CURES INACCURATE world-fammTsoientists CONDEMN INSTITUTE (United Press Assn. —Copyright.) (Received Jan. 26, 10 p.m.) LONDON, Jan. 25. Rlemarkable direct accusations are contained in a long despatch from Genoa from a Daily Express correspondent sent specially to inquire in-, to the Spahlinger Institute. He declares that as' the result of a interview until Spahlinger patients pa,st and present, medical men and others all of whom were checked and cross-referenced, he considers no more patients should go to Spahlinger from England, and no further funds, private or public should be sent from England to the Spahlinger Institute. He declares already sufficient has been sent to enable Spahlinger to provide serum, yet he complains he is hampered by lack of funds. The methods of the Institute are condemned by world famous scientists, and it is certain the published evidence of cures is inaccurate. The correspondent states:—

I saw patients who had given their ail to the Institute, and who begged and prayed: me to prevent others coming from England. Some of these were worse after a course of Spahlinger serum or vaccine or both, and some were dying. I found definite evidence of patients who had been treated and died, yet of whom it was denied they had visited Spahlinger. Others were reso.ute in their confidence. They said: 'We are cured or better.”

I was repeatedly told! Spahlinger was not a business man and it is impossible to ascertain the amount of money he obtained. I was asked what the devil has it got to do with the Daily Express so .ung as there is a cure. 1 hold documentary evidence showing that in 1924 while tuberculosis work was going forward Spahlinger was proposing to star! a factory in France for the manufacture of beauty specifics. Spahlinger actually inspected a suggested premises at Dijon, yet he is not supposed! to be a business man.—A. and N.Z.C.A.
