"Dr. Friedman is greatly dis

"WONDERFUL If TRUE" IS COMMENT
OF TACOMA DOCTORS ON CURE

"Almost too good to be true"
That was the first expression
of Tacoma physicians to whom
the Times today presented Shep-
herds cable dispatch about the
cure for tuberculosis.
A Times representative took
the article as it came over the
wire and laid it before DIR. Chris
tian Quevli, president of the Sta,e
Anti-Tuberculosis league; DIR. Ed
win +. James, city health physi-
clan, and Mayor Seymour.
"WonderfuI IL True"
81 only hope it is all true"
said DR.. James. Great advances
have been made in the treatment
of tuberculosis in the last few
years and every regular practlc-
ing physician can point to cases
that have been cured but if DR..
Friedman has found something
that is positive cure for the dis
ease as is reported it will mean
wonderful things for the whole
world
People Must Be Warned.
"The medical profession will
welcome it and in a very short
time they will be able to give 1t
to their patients and bring TO
them all it's benefits. In all these
reports of new discoveries the
people should be warned that If it

1t that they will get it through
their regular physicians and not
to be misled by professional
quacks who may take advantage
of the reported discoveries to
reap rich and illegitimate re-
wards through big advertise
ments. I would like to see DR..
Friedman turn his secret over to
the government marine hospital
service if it Is as claimed, then
the people would always be sure
of the genuineness of the treat
ment when taken in this country"
DIR. Quevli's Statement.
DIR. Christian Quevli, pres
fdent of the State Anti-Tu-
berculOsis society, read every
word of Shephard's great
story of DIR. Friedman's dis
cOvery.

If IL is true it is the most
wonderful discovery since the

lie Is highly respected by Ger
man physicians and scientists.
He has written many scientific
articles on tuberculosis and has
long been considered one of the
leading authorities on the SUBJ
ject in Europe. He began seek
ing a tuberculosis cure when in
school ten years ago and has
been at it ever since. He re-
ceived several prizes in German
schools for research work on
the theme of tuberculosis. He
has spent much time in studying
tuberculosis in every quarter of
the globe except America. He
comes of fairly wealthy family
and well known socially.
His greatest hope is to have an
opportunity to give his cure to
the boy czarevitch of Russia, who
has tuberculosis and whose knee
is swollen to large proportions.
The doctor took me to slum
flat in Berlin and showed me a
little girl who, seven weeks be-
fore, had been chair-ridden, un-
able to walk, with a knee swollen
to seven inches in diameter SINH

when We touched her leg," said
the mother. IL saw tears come
into the Doctors eyes as the lit
tie girl ran across the room to
show that she was quite well.

"But the greatest wonder to
me is that the serum immunizes
against tuberculosis, like vacci-
nation against smallpox"
To illustrate this immunization
on my next visit the doctor in
troduced me to a woman, fevered
with tuberculosis, who held in
her arms splendid, healthy
baby. This is my only healthy
child" said the woman to me.
"One of my children died of tu-
berculosis. Two children older
than this baby are sick with it,
and so is baby younger than
this one. DR.. Friedman gave this
baby a treatment almost two
years ago when it was four weeks
old and it has never been sick
Then the doctor said:
II will give this woman and
her children treatment very soon
and they will be well within a
few weeks, with every trace of
tuberculosis gone from their
systems. l could show you many
other cases of immunization like
this"
"Do you vaccoinate as In
smallpox" / asked.
"No, l only give an injection
with syringe of the same serum
that l use for patients. A slight
local swelling follows, but no
running sore"

The truth of the matter is that
DR.. Friedman is trying to sift
out one reliable offer for the
American rights from a flood of
telegraphic proposals from the
United States, and the doctor
hesitates to discuss the question
of American rights over the ca

American interests will shortly
