# The Washington Post (newspaper)/1913/Cured by Serum

Published in the Washington Post of Washington, DC on September 9, 1913
"Blessing From God," declares mother of little girl, who had been given up "by ten doctors" - Has doubled in weight and is every way normal. Other Washington sufferers treated by German said to show improvement. Two of the worst cases treated by Dr. Frederick Friedmann, the noted German physician, on his visit here have been absolutely cured, the sufferers themselves declare, and a number of others have shown such improvement, they assert, as to warrant the patients' hope of ultimate recovery. This statement is the outcome of an investigation into the cases conducted yesterday by a Post reporter. The two patients who it is claimed have been cured are Philip Chase, age 5, of 2114 Fourteenth street southeast, and Edith Strauser, aged 7, of 3221 Reservoir street northwest. ... The mother of little Edith Strauser yesterday was one of the happiest women in Washington. "Oh to think that my little one has been cured," she cried. "And after ten doctors had given her up. When I took her to the hospital for Dr. Friedmann to operate on her, I did not believe that she had a chance for recovery. The doctors told me that there was no hope. He gave my daughter only one treatment, and within five weeks she showed great improvement. Before I took her to him she had not been able to move in bed for eight months. During those whole eight months she was in agony. Not a muscle could she stir, she was so weak. Today she is able to play with the other children in the neighborhood, although I believe she would still be better if she could get just one more treatment from Dr. Friedmann." At the time the treatment was given the Strauser child weighed only 23 pounds. Her mother said yesterday that at the end of the five weeks after the operation she had gained fifteen pounds and today weights 45 pounds. Her eyes are a clear as crystal. Her cheeks are ruddy, her complexion fair. She looks like a child that has never been sick in her life. ... One of the remarkable facts pertaining to the case of the Strauser girl is the disappearance of a large lump that was formed on her back. At the time she was taken to the German physician she was deformed by this protuberance. Today the lump has entirely disappeared. The mother attributes her daughter's recovery in part, to the manner in which the instruction of Dr. Friedmann was obeyed. "He told me not to give her any medicine after he had given her the serum," she said, "and I have not. I followed his instructions to the letter, and have not let any doctor near her. I have been in communication with a number of his other patients and I find that those who failed to obey his instructions have not fared so well."

2 Die After Planes Collide in Mid-Air. Brooklyn, New York City; December 23, 1940 (International News Service) Two civilian fliers, one an American veteran of the Spanish Civil War, were killed today, in a mid-air collision between their plans and a naval reserve plane. The victims of the crash were Edward Schneider, who flew for the Loyalists in Spain, and George W. Herzog, a student. Their monoplane scraped wings with a Naval Reserve plane piloted by Ensign Kenneth Kuehner, who pulled his ship out of a spin and landed safely with Franklin Newcomber, a seaman who was a passenger in the service plane.

# The Washington Times/1897/Hypnotism And Marriage

Ira Lowe (1868-1907) in The Washington Times on January 28, 1897.
Hypnotism And Marriage. A singular case of hypnotism has just come to light in New Jersey. Mrs. Adelheid Lowe, wife of Ira Lowe, says that she was induced by hypnotic influence to convey to her husband a half interest in $24,000 worth of property, and she also thinks that it was some influence of this kind which caused her to marry him. The marriage was brought about by the aid of a marriage broker, who told Lowe that if he wanted a wife the lady in question was a widow with nine children (the eldest being attractive looking girls), and that she owned property. The wooing prospered, and before the marriage took place an antenuptial agreement was drawn up giving Lowe one-half of the real estate in question. After the marriage Lowe proceeded to pawn everything that could be lifted without a derrick and did other unpleasant things, and in one of his frequent absences Mrs. Lowe came to the conclusion that nothing but hypnotism could explain the folly she had committed. Of course, there have been cases known before in which the influence of wife over husband or husband over wife could not be accounted for on any sane and rational grounds, but this has usually been put down to the many vagaries and queernesses of the marriage relation. It is only of late that the aid of hypnotism has been suspected in such cases, and perhaps this is partly due to the fact that all sorts of things are likely to be set down as hypnotic when once the theory is admitted, because it is so convenient a theory. Evidently the line will have to be drawn somewhere and the person, who draws it will have a difficult and delicate task. There are cases In which a person of a weak or sensitive temperament may be so completely under the influence of another as to be unable to do anything of one's own will and how are the courts to decide now far such a person is morally and legally responsible? In this case, however, the marriage broker and the husband seem to have laid a deliberate plan to get hold of the victim's money, and whether she gave it up under the influence of hypnotism or not, the husband is morally a thief, and the worst kind of thief, a person in comparison wish whom the ordinary burglar is a respectable member of society.

# The Washington Post Puts Its Finger On 'The Arab Paradox'

The Washington Post Puts Its Finger On 'The Arab Paradox'. Congressional Record: October 12, 2001 (Extensions of Remarks) Page E1864. DOCID:cr12oc01-30.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Mr. GILMAN. Mr. Speaker, a very astute editorial was printed in today's Washington Post underscoring a provocative point: That the regimes of Arab states, which have little if any democratic legitimacy, use hatred for the United States and Israel to deflect criticism of their internal policies.
In our hearing yesterday in our Committee on International Relations on public diplomacy in the fight against terror, the very same point was made. And, to be sure, it has even been made by some moderate Arab leaders.
The fact is that these policies of blaming others are self-defeating. They do not lead to any long-term reform. They do not even allow any real release of tension. In this modern age, they lead to intolerance of others, support for terrorism, or terrorism itself.
We need to fully consider these points, as do the rulers of the "moderate" Arab states.
For the information of my colleagues, I request that the Washington Post editorial be printed at this point in the Record:

# Dictionary of National Biography, 1885-1900/Bloomfield, Benjamin

1904 Errata appended.
​BLOOMFIELD, BENJAMIN, first Baron Bloomfield (1768-1846), lieutenant-general and colonel-commandant royal horse artillery, was the only son of John Bloomfield, of Newport, co. Tipperary, and was born 13 April 1768. After studying at the Royal Military Academy, he became a second-lieutenant in the royal artillery, at the age of thirteen, on 24 May 1781. Lord Bloomfield, in the early part of his military career, served in Newfoundland and at Gibraltar. He was one of the first officers appointed to the horse-brigade on its formation. He also served on board a gun-brig during the early part of the French war, and commanded some guns at the action at Vinegar Hill during the Irish rebellion of 1798. About 1806, when brevet-major and captain of a troop of horse-artillery doing duty with the 10th hussars at Brighton (and, as his biographer observes, a very poor man), his social and musical attainments attracted the notice of the Prince of Wales, afterwards George IV, who made him a gentleman-in-waiting and afterwards his chief equerrv and clerk-marshal. In 1816 he was knighted, having been promoted to the rank of major-general the year before, and in 1817 succeeded Sir John McMahon as receiver of the duchv of Cornwall, keeper of the privy purse, and private secretary, in which capacities Sir Benjamin Bloomfield was the recognised confidant of the prince during the remainder of the regency and until 1822, when, having fallen into disfavour, he resigned his appointments. After his resignation he was sent, in 1824, as minister plenipotentiary to the court of Stockholm, and in May 1826 was raised to the Irish peerage as Baron Bloomfield of Oakhampton and Redwood, Tipperary. Subsequently he commanded the garrison at Woolwich for some years, where his hospitality and benevolence made him very popular, and where he founded the schools for the children of soldiers of the ordnance corps. He married, in 1797, Harriott, the eldest daughter of John Douglas, of Grantham, by whom he left issue. He died in Portman Square, London, on 16 Aug. 1846. Lord Bloomfiild, while in Sweden, joined the Wesleyans, and after his death a tract was published under the title : 'A Coronet laid at Jesus' Feet in the Conversion of the late Lord Bloomfield,' by G. Scott, Wesleyan minister (London, 1866, 8vo).

He was born 12 Nov. 1802, and at the early age of sixteen became an attache to the embassy at Vienna. Throughout his life he remained in the diplomatic service, and his history consists of little more than a list of the places where he served his countiy. He was paid attache at Lisbon, October 1824; secretary of legation at Stuttgard, December 1825, and at Stockholm, September 1826; secretary of embassy at St. Petersburg, June 1889; envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary to that court, 3 April 1844; removed in the same ​capacity to Berlin, 28 April 1851; made ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary to the Emperor of Austria, 22 Nov. 1860, but resigned 28 Oct. 1871, when he retired on a pension and was created a peer of the United Kingdom. Previously to this date he had succeeded his father as second Baron Bloomfield in the peerage of Ireland, 15 Aug. 1846, had been made a C.B. 1848, K.C.B. 1851, G.C.B. 3 Sept. 1858, and a privy councillor 17 Dec. 1860. He died at his residence, Giamhaltha, Newport, co. Tipperary, 17 Aug. 1879. He married, 4 Sept. 1845, the Hon. Georgiana, sixteenth and youngest child of Thomas Henry Liddell, first Baron Ravensworth. She was born at 51 Portland Place, London, 13 April 1822, was maid of honour to the queen from December 1841 to July 1845, and in the month after her marriage accompanied her husband to Russia. Her ‘Reminiscences’ of the state of society at the various courts where she resided is a work of much interest.

# Dictionary of National Biography, 1885-1900/Blomfield, Ezekiel

​BLOMFIELD, EZEKIEL (1778–1818), compiler, was born on 28 Oct. 1778 at North Walsham, Norfolk. His parents were very poor, and in 1783 he removed with them to Norwich. Before he was ten years of age he began making collections for a 'Table of Chronological Events' and a 'System of Natural History.' He read largely, but the book that determined his lifelong studies was Mrs. Barbauld's 'Evenings at Home,' which quickened his interest in the phenomena of nature. When about fifteen religious questions troubled him, and, becoming imbued with strong religious convictions, he was placed under the care of a nonconformist minister (the Rev. S. Newton of Norwich). Under his capable mastership he rapidly acquired Latin, Greek, and Hebrew. After combating old doubts, in 1796 he joined the church of Newton, and, resolving to be a minister of the gospel, proceeded to the non-conformist Homerton College. After a year spent at Norwich in ill-health, he accepted a call to a congregation at Wymondham. There he conciliated conflicting parties, and established Sunday schools, missionary societies, &c. On 20 Oct. 1800 he married Mary, daughter of a Mr. Fursnell of Hanworth (Norfolk). Soon after his marriage he delivered a course of lectures on history at Wymondham. As his family increased he eked out a slender income by hack-work for Brightley. the printer of Bungay, and subsequently went into partnership with him. Pecuniary difficulties followed, and led to his removal from Wymondham to Wortwell in 1809, where he remained until his death, frequently visiting the neighbouring village of Harleston. He found the Norfolk and Norwich Auxiliary British and Foreign Bible Society. In 1810 he projected an academy for education of youths in classics. He planned a 'History of Education,' and delivered a successful course of lectures on the philosophy of history from materials gathered in 1815 and 1816. He died 14 July 1818, leaving a widow and young family totally unprovided for. Towards assisting them his 'Philosophy of History' was published in a fine quarto in 1819, with a memoir. It is somewhat fragmentary and commonplace. In 1807 had appeared, in two huge quartos, Blomfield's 'A General View of the World, Geographical, Historical, and Philosophical; on a Plan entirely new' (Bungay, 1807); this work shows wide but ill-digested reading.

# Dictionary of National Biography, 1885-1900/Blood, Holcroft

1904 Errata appended.
​BLOOD, HOLCROFT (1660?–1707), general, was the son of the famous Colonel Thomas Blood [q. v.], and was born about 1660. When only a stripling he, unknown to his father, went to sea, and served in the Dutch war of 1672. Some years afterwards he became a cadet in the French guards, where he began to study the art of engineering. Return in to England he served as captain in the Irish campaigns after the revolution of 1688, and was wounded at the siege of Carrickfergus. Some time afterwards he was accused of robbing a postboy of some letters that came from Spain, but after a trial at the Old Bailey he was acquitted. The incident, indeed, turned out rather to his advantage than otherwise; for the king, convinced of his innocence, and having a high opinion of his abilities, secured his promotion, Erst as major and soon afterwards as lieutenant-colonel. He did great service as an engineer at the siege of Namur in 1695, and becoming, in 1703, colonel of a regiment of the train of artillery, he manœuvred it with so much skill at Hochstädt, and in other important actions, as to acquire the reputation of being one of the ablest engineers in Europe. In reward of his brilliant services he was promoted brigadier-general. He died at Brussels 30 Aug. 1707.

​BLONDEL, JAMES AUGUSTUS (d. 1734), physician, was a native of Paris, and received his medical education at Leyden, where he graduated M.D. 17 July 1692, his thesis, which was published, being ‘Dissertatio de Crisibus.’ He settled as a physician in London, and was admitted licentiate of the College of Physicians 26 March 1711. In 1720 he published anonymously ‘The Strength of Imagination of Pregnant Women Examined, and the opinion that marks and deformities in children arise from thence, demonstrated to be a vulgar error.' To this work Dr. Daniel Turner replied in the twelfth chapter of his treatise on the ‘Diseases of the Skin,' and he returned to the subject in his treatise on ‘Gleets.' In answer to the statements of Turner, Blondel published in 1729 ‘The Power of the Mother's Imagination over the Fœtus examined, in reply to Dr. Turner.’ This pamphlet, to which Dr. Turner wrote a special reply, was published in French at Leyden in 1737, in Dutch at Rotterdam in 1737, and in German at Strasbourg in 1756. He died 4 Oct. 1734, and was buried at Stepney.
