Spahlinger Imperiled

In Carouge, Geneva, Switzerland, for some years Dr. Henry Spahlinger, famed scientist, has worked to perfect a remedy for tuberculosis. In 1919 he discovered a serum which attracted much attention from the medical profession; since then he has made steady advances, so that now his serum, far stronger than the original discovery, is said to cure an ordinary case in six months, a so-called "hopeless" case in a year and a half. But last week a couple of bailiffs threatened to take up their abode in the institute at Carouge. Dr. Spahlinger's creditors were getting anxious. Standing among his test, tubes and retorts, he turned a haggard face upon reporters: "My whole work of 17 years will fall to pieces in the near future unless financial aid is forthcoming. . . ."
