His awkward use of none too care
fully sterilized hypodermc, his painful
nervousness and apparent lack Of tech
nique naturally heightened the suspi-
cions of the medical fraternity. The
newspapers were loud in their criti-
ciSm. Save that he was less nervous,
there was little Improvement in the Wis
lt0r's work at the second clinic; but at
the third demonstration there was no
ticcablc Improvement, and at each sue
ceeding clinic Dr. Friedmann's use of
the needle and his preservation OF
aseptic conditions has been beyond
criticism
Still saw little to kndle enthus
aSm until the end Of the first eight-day
period and it became possible to note
results. Even then the unanimity of
the optimism of the patients proved
nothing, because Of the traditional Op-
timiSm Of cOnSumptives. But as days
went by and the same unbrOken train
OF favorable reports from those treated

legitimate rewards Of his work and
sears of sacrifice devoted to research
work. He has not accepted dollar
for his services since he came to New
York. but he expects to realize on his
discovery ultimately. Fourteen years
work bending over microscopes in a
laboratory have not tended to make
him particularly communicative. As
the result of these attributes, he was
not as frank at first as the newspaper
men and physicians thought genuine
world benefactor should be. The re
suit was storm Of criticism.
But the young doctor was supremely
indifferent to criticism. Instead Of
being broken in spirit or quitting the
country in a huff, he settled down to
the task Of proving that he has a cure
for tuberculosis. Today he has moi
completely accomplished his object
but he has become the most talked OF
