Washington, Feb 11.-So much in
terest has been expressed in this
country concerning the reported new
cure for consumption discovered by
DR. F. F. friedman of Berlin that
the government is rushing out pub
lie document containing all the infor-
nation available. The subject mat
ter is now in process of printing in
the government printing office.
The International News Serice has
obtained an exhaustive review of the
information it contains.
The document contains report
fl ON Consul General Thackara at Ber-
lin. who was requested by the state
department to procure all data and
facts for the benefit of the American
people. The new treatment consists
in the injection of solution pre-
pared by the doctor himself, which
he claims contains living non-virulent
bacilli taken from cold blooded ami
mails, in contradistinction to the vir-
ulent organism contained in Koch
tuberculine and other tuberculosis
remedies. Up to Noember Is last, DR.
Friedman claims to have treated
1882 cases and said inoculation was
an assured success.
DR.. Friedman has so far conceal
ed the method of preparing his rem
edy for use. He announces that he
does not want to disclose this secret
until he is prepared to manufacture it
in sufficient quantities to supply the
profession At present he is treating
all cases that come to his institute in
Berlin
The consul general reported that
the medical profession in Berlin has
not accepted the remedy as of prac-
tical use and reseres judgment until
they have been given an opportunity
to make their own tests. All seem to
admit, however that DR.. Friedman
has effected some wonderful cures
and they are interested in the dis
covery.
Some of the most eminent physici-
ans of Berlin, following the advices
of DR.. Friedman, announced and ad-
mitted a number of remarkable cures
that had come under their notice,
mainly cases that had been referred
by them to the discoverer of the cure.
Dr. Eric Muller reported that he
| had sent five cases of severe bone
! tuberculosis to DIR. Friedman. One
case was that of a boy whose knee
was so affected that amputation was
believed necessary Two injections
! by DR.. Friedman cured the knee and
saved the limb. DR.. Muller expresses
| full confidence in the cure.
DIR. Kaffunkle reported on 45O
cases that were treated by DIR. Fried
mann under his personal observation
Cures in all cases were effected with
| in two weeks to three months. He de-
clares that in no case was there
failure of cure. He also reports that
the medicine is harmless and that ii
causes but slight inconvenience. The
majority of patients show symptoms
of improvement Immediately and de-
velop ravenous hunger. Patients
that are able to work at the time
| they take treatment continue their
employments. Dr. Krafunkle says;
After the success achieved l
should no longer think of treating a
pulmonary consumptive otherwise
than with the friedman remedy"
DR.. Karfunkle also reports that
cases of scrofult and eczema respond
almost instantly to the Friedman
| remedy
