NOBLE ASSISTS
FRIEDMAN IN
GIVING CURE

While hundreds of doctors
clammored in vain to get into the
New York hospital where DR..
Friedman Friday gave his sup
posed cure to thirty patients, DR..
Charles s. Noble, representing this
paper, not only obtained entry but
he acted as assistant to the world
famous Berlin physician.
The Times representative has
been accorded every possible
courtesy by DR.. Friedman and
his brother and has been able to
secure information and make OBJ
servations that no other outside
doctor could hope for.
The Times naturally feels proud
of this undertaking in sending a
physician to New York to report
on this most absorbing topic and
this paper feels more than proud
of the work DR.. Noble has done.
DIR. Noble sends the follow
ing telegraphic report on the
clinic held Friday at which
he assisted the Berlin spe-
ciaIist:
New York, March Fl, 1913.
Tacoma Times, Tacoma,
Wash:
BY far the most remark-
able clinic of my experience
as a physician was held at
the hospital for deformities
and crippIes here Friday
when DIR. friedman gave
his tuberculosis treatment to
thirty patients, mostly chill
dren afflicted with tubercu-
losis Of the knee, hip or an
kIe.
/ acted as Friedmann's
chief aide and clad In steril-
lied garments / stood beside
him and assisted him in i'm
jecting his serum. Some of
the cases treated were of
three years standing.
Physicians from practical
Iy every New York hospital
and members of the health
boards of Syracuse and Mil
waulxee attended and hum
dreds of local and outside
doctors tried in vain to get in.
A feature of the clinic was
the appearance of a 12-year-
old boy who received the
treatment ten days ago. Then
his knee was swollen and he
could not bend it. Today he
walked freely about the
room.
Up to date DIR. Friedman
has treated one hundred
cafes in New York and two
hundred in Canada and ev-
cry patient is showing inn

a normal agricultural success here this
year. A general rain within the next

lions most materially. Even with such
rain. though, the year of 1913 gives
every indication of being a lean one in
Kansas, agriculturally speaking, and
especially when it is compared with the
years of the immediate past
However, there is nothing in this sit
uation to give the great bulk of Kan
sans the blues. For the most part, the
great majority of Kansas farmers are
in a position to withstand the reverses
of poor crop year. They have had a
number. of fat years in succession.
They are on easy street, as it were
and are better prepared than ever be-
fore to meet little adversely with a
smile. Then. too, there are no indica-
tions of anything like total crop fail
ures. 1t will undoubtedly be surpris-
ing, when the totals are footed up this
fall, just how we'll Kansas has done
in the field of agriculture under most
unfavorabIe conditions.
And there is no reason why Kansans
should bemoan their fate that they
have not been blessed again with an
other year of great agricultural achieve
ments. There is no section of the
country. or of the world in fact, where
agricultural successes are continuous
year after year. Because of the fick-

about to dispose of some property
