General Blues Statement.
In response to a general demand for
confirmation from the public health
service on the treatment as observed
thus far by the government authori-

made his first public statement on
the subject. This is for publication in
the regular weekly bulletin of the
service, which will be issued tomor-
row.
In this bulletin, DR. Blue ventures
no opinion and merely recites the
steps that already have been taken
to investigate the cultures, serum
and treatment. at the same time sug~
costing that the public be patient and
that sufferers from tuberculosis re-
frain from coming to Washington in
the hope of obtaining the treatment.
Requests for the treatment continue
TO reach the public health service in
large numbers.
DIR. Rucker Talks.
Speaking of the governments in
terest in investigating the alleged
cure, DR.. Rucker, assistant surgeon
general of the public health service,
said:
Work in the hygienic laboratory is
being carried on with all possible ex-
petition. The organism used in this
treatment is being studied in every
way. The experiments will neces-
sarily require considerable time-pos-
sihly many weeks. We realize that
sufferers from tuberculosis through
out the country are waiting i'm
patiently for any word which may be
given as to the efficacy of the treat
ment. We regret to be unable to give
them any facts"
