THE TRUTH ABOUT THE
NEW CURE FOR
CONSUMPTION"

The friedman treatment for
consumption has recently been
announced in a most sensational
way, through the newspapers of
an American newspaper syndi-
cate. According to The Journal
of the American Medical Asso-
citation this method of treatment
does not appear to be based on
any new principle. It repre-
sents simply another effort to
utilize for curative and pre-
yentive purposes the antigenic
substances in the tubercle bacil-
lus, without at the same time in
Producing any toxic or harmful
substances. In order to secure
this effect, living bacilli, devoid
of viruleuce, SO it is asserted, are
injected deep into the muscles.
These bacilli are said to be de-
rived from the turtle, but the
method by which they are rem
dered harmless is withheld. This
secrecy is uot in accord with the
ethical standard of scientific
medicine. The report as to the
results of the practical use of
this carefully-guarded secret
shows, first, that on the expert
ments on guinea-pigs complete
protection has not been obtained.
Furthermore, there are no indi-
cations that it has been possible
to cure tuberculous guinea-pigs
by this method. The treatment
consequently lacks an expert
mental basis. A really and
promptly effective cure: for tuber-
culosis should cure tuberculosis
in guinea-pigs and other animals.
The injections so far made by
friedman in children seem to
indicate that the fluid injected is
harmless in children and that is
all. We have no evidence that
the injections will prevent tuber-
culosis in children, and from the
nature of the case it will be ex-
ceedingly difficult to determine
what the effect Of such injec-
lions really is. The alleged GU
rative effects do not seem to be
any more pronounced and definite
than those obtained with the va
rious forms of tuberculin when
properly used. Besides, the use
OF this fluid is probably not with /
out danger. In view of these
considerations, says The Journal,
there is not sufficient warrant
for any other attitude toward
triedmann's treatment Of tuber-
culosis than one of critical neu- :
and judicious skepticism. :
II concerns secret procedure !
without adequate experimental
'asis and without any better re-
iults to its credit than produced !
