DR.. F. F. FRIEDMAN

weeks, almost daily. l attended his elm
les and saw with my own eyes what he
is doing. He is the most wonderful man
have ever seen or known, and / think
he is doing the most wonderful work
ever performed by one man for another.
Jealousy and nothing else" added DIR.
May, lis responsible for the opposition
and unfavorable reports that have gained
circulation about Dr. Friedman and his
new cure. New York is the greatest
nest for jealousy ! have ever gotten into;
everybody is afraid someones.is going to
steal some of the glory Of. somebody else.
Everyone is publicity mad and they
thought. and thought right, that DIR.
Friedman might monopolize some of
the spotlight.
Now, many of the very men who
compelled to admit that there is some
thing in his system, and they have
ceased to a great extent, at least, their
open criticism
Attends Free Clinics
DR.. May went to New York over two
weeks ago to visit some Of the eye, nose
anG throat hospitals of the city. and to
attend the free clinics given by DR..
friedman, as he is greatly interested
in the German physician and the rem
edy he claims to have discovered. He
says he attended every one of the free
clinics given by the famous German dur
ing the two weeks and that every time
he !, nd a ItS al
his injection. he became more enthusi-
astic and more impressed with the won
der of it all.
AS soon as the United States govern
ment grants permission Dr. Friedmanr
will distribute over the United States
quantities of the serum which he states
will cure the most deadly disease in
America, tuberculosis. This medicine il
to be distributed only to persons who
in the majority of cases to physicians
who have personally attended the clinics
given by DR.. Friedman in New Yorh
within the past few weeks.
DR.. May said last night that he has
an application in for this medicine and
that he feels assured that as soon as
the government grants permission he viii
be sent a quantity of it for his owr
practice. He stated last night that this
would probably be within the next G.
days.
II do not believe that DR.. Friedman
is mercenary," said Dr. May. "He is 4
young man, probably about 80, and ap-
pears to be very sensitive Some of the
criticisms made of him since he has beer
in America has hurt him very much.
believe he wants to benefit humanity.
saw him treat case after case of per.
sons from whom any financial returns
were plainly never to be expected. He
did it plainly out of charity; he is a
very sympathetic man.
Careful in Technique
"The criticism that his technique is
bad, that is, that he is not antiseptc
and does not sterilize his Instruments
ETC., is entirely wrong. l never saw a
physician use better technique. and be
more careful than he. No surgeon in
New York that | have ever seen or any
where else, was any better. No person
is allowed to enter the room where he
is operating without sterilized clothing on.
Monday week ago | saw him treat
IL cases at Bellevue hospital and ev-
cry one was adult pulmonary tuber-
culosis. I did not get the opportunity
of observing these patients later. but
DR.. Brannon. superintendent Of the hos
pltal. told me that every one of them
improved. they gained in weight. their
night sweats stopped and their fever
reduced.
"a week ago last Thursday saw
him operate on 35 patients at the Hos
pital for Deformed and Joint Diseases
at 1919 Madison avenue all OF whom

patients. a little girl years old. whose
