Fifth.: That the comparative study of certain cancerous effluvia 

 or deposits, due to poisoning with fish fins, has revealed lesions 

 closely analogous in basis to the sputa albumin of tubercular bacil- 

 lus growths. 



Sixth: That a carrier, or elixir, has been made which will suc- 

 cessfully convey the deadly cyanaraide of lime into and out of the 

 human system, producing in its passage the desired catalytic ac- 

 tion. (This, thus far inferentially, from analogous success with 

 animals physiologically similar to man.) 



Pregnant evidence of success is on the side of the experimenta- 

 tion which we have carried on during the past nine years. If it 

 thus becomes possible to transform the sad-eyed patient, awaiting 

 sealed doom, into a healthy being, radiant with life joy, the cup of 

 this writer will run over and over. And surely we are now on the 

 right road to reach ultimately the long-sought end. As ever, that 

 end will be found, whenever it shall be found, in the laboratory of 

 the skilled enthusiast. And the final, comprehensive solution of 

 the long baffling and ultra-complex tuberculosis problem will mean 

 unparalleled boon of physical well-being for human kind, involv- 

 ing results that superabound in mercy shown, in gladness un- 

 speakable attained. 



ADDENDA. 



During this year of grace 1910 the writer has had the pleasure 

 of trying the virtue of the catalytic action of this now famous cyan- 

 amide of lime from coast to coast in America. Friends, surgeons 

 of the Red Cross Society, have day by day found patients who 

 were willing to submit to inoculation with cyanamide elixir. Here 

 in the white-walled city of Manila, P. I., have been discharged five 

 children of the first families of the Luzon island, pronounced 

 cured, the same having been originally possessed of variant forms 

 of tuberculosis in the several stages of development. To see some 

 of these playing child games, further, to see of an evening the half- 

 dozen young men, sixteen weeks ago in all but hopeless condition 

 with tuberculosis, now apparently hale and hearty, playing tennis 

 and indoor base ball, is the crowning joy of this long-drawn-out 

 period of experimentation. Added to their number appears upon 

 the roster of the cured, in all parts of the United States, the writer's 

 friends made glad to the number of fifty-five; and the writer awaits 

 with anxiety the development of a manufactory for production of 

 materials, that no delay may further be necessary, and to give to his 

 beloved Academy in the Sunflower state, U. S. A., the results 

 herein set forth.
