gone to Paris for the rest cure. Tt is
understood that she will consult with
her daughter, Christabel, on the future

TO BE TRIED IN NEW YORK.
Authorities of That City at Last Gave
DIR. Friedman Permission.

NEW YORK, March 6.-The city
health authorities yesterday gave DR..
f. f. Friedman of Berlin permission
to test the treatment which he claims
is cure for tuberculosis. If DR..
Friedman decides to make a test the
board of health will allow it to be un-
dertaken in a city institution. The
tuberculosis hospital at Otisville, Y.
Y, or the Riverside hospital on North
Brother island, in the East river, will
probably be selected, it is said
The board of health's sanction,
hitherto withheld, was granted after the
visiting Berlin physician submitted to
the board tube containing a culture
of the bacilli. DIR. Ernst J. Ledrie,
commissioner of health, said that his
department will test the culture on an
imals. DIR. Friedman has been barred
from making general use of his dis
covery because he holds no state IL
cense as a praeticing physician. The
sanction of the health authorities now
gives any city hospital the privilege
of making the German specialist a res
ident physician on its staff. The New
/ York county medical society, which
protested against tests because DR.
Friedman held no license, viii not
stand in the way if any hospital APP
points the Berlin doctor a resident
physician, who, under the law, does not
need a state license.
