FOR HUMANITY’S SAKE.
Willing Victim of Consumption. New York, June 1. Dr„ Carroll, a well-known physician of this city, has within the last few days inoculated a perfectly healthy man of about 30 with tuberculosis germs, with the object of demonstrating the efficacy of a cure. The young man, Frank Merritt, voluntarily offered himself to the doctor for the experiment.
Two other physicians are associated with Dr. Carroll, but the medical faculty generally highly disapproves of it. Mr Merritt’s lungs have already shown . signs of congestion. The stage has not yet been reached, however, at which the cure begins. This is supposed to commence on Sunday under the doctor’s new method, and he promises that his patient shall be perfectly cured within two weeks from the time of beginning the treatment. , The experiment has caused considerable sensation, and its results are being eagerly awaited. There is much misgiving at the idea of inoculating for consumption, but Dr. Carroll is very confident of success.
