GREAT GIFT TO WORLD
Noted German Physician Discovers
Absolute Cure for tuberculosis.
SERUM FROM TURTLE CURING
HUNDREDS OF PATIENTS
Dispatches Bring Intelligence That
DR.. Friedman Will Give the World
Its Greatest Christmas Gift
Save One.

Ut. w lllldm VI. SnepneTQ, STAN
correspondent of the Rural Weekly
in Europe, cables that paper from
Berlin the details of the wonderful
contribution of modern science thro'
DR.. Frederick Friedman to a suffer
ing world. 1t is as follows:
The Christmas gift of science to
the world is cure for tuberculosis.
DR.. Frederick Franz Friedman OF
Berlin is the donor.
Two weeks ago Friedman astound-
ed German physicians by declaring
in a public conference that he had
been successfully treating tuberculo-
sis for the past two years and that
now he has nearly 600 cured cases
to display to scientists. He exhibited
a considerable number of cured
patients to the conference.
Many of the most scientific Ger.
mans admit that Friedman has dis.
covered the long sought cure. Sew.
eral hospitals in Germany are now
turning their tuberculosis cases over
to him.
Scientists from America, Australia
England and other corners of the
earth are hurrying to Berlin to in
vestigate. Appeals for treatment by
letter and telegram overwhelm the
young doctor.
1 spent ten hours in three visits
with DR.. Friedman. He showed me
actual cases of cures. 1t was impos.
sible for me to doubt.
"My treatment is very simple" the
doctor told me. 1T is serum. One
injection usually drives all signs Of
tuberculosis germs from the system

hopeless cases from the clinics o.
Berlin, cases given up by leading
scientists, and with one or two injec
tions / have seen men, women ant
children, who were doomed to death
made perfectly whole again within &
space of few weeks.
but the greatest wonder to me-
is that the serum immunizes agains
tuberculosis, like vaccination agains
smallpox"
To illustrate this immunization OF
my next visit the doctor introduced
me to a woman, fevered with tuber
culosis, who held in her arms splen
did, healthy baby. Said the woman
to me, lone of my children died o
tuberculosis. Two children older thar
this baby are sick with it, and so i
baby younger than this one. Dr
Friedman gave this baby treatmen
almost two years ago when it wa
four weeks old and it has never bee
sick" Then the doctor said:
Il secured it from turtles severa
children treatment very soon an
they will be well within few weeks
Every trace of tuberculosis will b
gone from their systems. / coul
