Milwaukee.—What Is claimed
by scientists to be the first com­
plete Isolation of the germ of
sleeping sickness was announced
here by Dr. William Thalhlmer
of Milwaukee, who, In conjunc­
tion with a number of physi­
cians, conducted a clinic of a
year’s duration at the Columbia
hospital.
The results of the clinic. It
was announced, showed that a
minute organism was responsi­

that the physicians had been
able to completely Isolate and
propagate the microbe.
It Is believed that a cure for
tbe disease may result from tbe
experiments, though this Is not
yet claimed by the Milwaukee
doctors.
The scientists are at work
