SUGAR HELD TO BE
WHITE PLAGUE CURE
ITALIAX SCIENTIST IS CREDIT
ED WITH GREAT DISCOVERY.
Injection of Saccharose Declared to
Have Marvelous Erfcct on
Tubercle Bacilli.
PARIS, May 17. Professor Domenlco
Lo Monaco, director of the Biochemical
section of the Llncei Academy, at Rome,
is credited by the Italian scientific
press with a discovery which will revo
lutionize the treatment of tuberculosis.
Professor Lo Monaco, explaining his
discovery, said he had observed that
sugar had a remarkable effect on the
secretions of the human organism.
After seven years of study of these phe
nomena he became 'convinced that the
secretions of saliva, bile and the gastric
and pancreatic . Juices were modified
profoundly by the introduction of
sugar. This gave him the Idea of ap
plying this method to the bronchlcal
secretlca of consumptives.
The first experiments made on con
sumptive soldiers gave results far ex
ceeding his expectations, he reports.
There was rapid Improvement In most
cases and he obtained cures which ap
peared to be radical.
Professor Lo Monaco explained that
the bronchial secretion is an indispen
sable medium for the existence of the
tubercule bacilli and that by the injec
tion of saccharose the secretion dimin
ishes and finally disappears, the bacilli
disappearing with it.
