Excerpt from The Antiseptic Treatment and the Limitation of Climatic Treatment of Pulmonary Tuberculosis: President's Address Delivered at the Meeting of the American Climatological Association, Washington, D. C., May 4, 1897 The purpose of this paper is not to build up new theories nor yet as an iconoclast to tear down where we are unable to replace, but to draw the attention of this Association and of those who may read our proceedings, to a few important facts which seem established by experience. In the title of this paper I have referred to the antiseptic treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis which, in the light of our present knowledge of the origin of the disease, seems to me to have a specific tendency to check its progress, though I would in no way mini mize the importance of tonic and supporting treat ment and of good hygienic surroundings. Since the Koch bacillus was recognized as the ulti mate cause, that under favorable conditions, produces tuberculosis, there have been unceasing experimenta tion and careful clinical observation to find some agent or agents that would destroy the microbes with out injury to the tissues upon which they rest or within which they may be imbedded. Contemplating this long line of experiments and scrutinizing the vast array of statistics, we are forced to admit that it has not been demonstrated that any remedy, or any class of remedies, has the power to destroy this bacil lus when ensconced in the human body, with any degree of certainty; yet when we carefully analyze the various methods of treatment that have been more or less successful in checking the progress of the dis ease, we nearly always find that they have been of a distinctly antiseptic character.
