DR.. Friedman is thirty-six years
old, native OF Berlin. At precoc-
ious age he was graduated from the
University OF Frieburg and later
graduated from the University OF Ber-
lin, being awarded signal honor for
work In tuberculosis research.
Flanked on either side by Hundt
and DR. Arthur Charles Henry Fried
mann. his brother. of Colorado
Springs. the young scientist and self
styled henefactor of the human race
today was prepared to meet all com
ers. Relaxed and at eas, he smiled
nonchalantly when receiving introduc-
tions to visitors, but with the first
question there came the most astound-
ing change. Down went the elbows to
the knees and DR. Friedman was all
hunched over, chin on clenched fists.
A portentous frown puckered his
brows, his moustache commenced to
work up and down and he was plain
~ bundle of concentrated nervous
energy. He understands enough Eng
lish TO get the drift OF conversation,
and occasionally his excitement
prompted him to attempt to reply in
English to questions, but for the most
part he was content to listen and
talk through his two interpreters.
Wild-eyed like an ingenious child,
he heard questions and then, brows
contracted, blue eyes flashing, he
poured forth long answers in torrent
ial German
tuberculosis can be cured. he
said. II have cured it. am still
curing it. But cure is a perilous
word. In perhaps 1000 of the 1900.
Tor 1000 cases that have treated in
two years the cure has been com
Iplete. but ! never say have cured
until many months after the treat
nlent has been begun. In most OF the
cases say I have arrested the dis
ease. 1t Is difficult to say when
tuberculosis is entirely cured. It can
/ be cured with my culture. but some
times the cure is, matter of months,
where the disease has obtained start.
! but say that every case Of tuber.
.culosis in any form can be cured alb
solutely with my baccilli, except the
/ Enthusiastically hopeless cases. Ny cul.
ture is not cure for death.
/ My germs OF themselves are not
absolute The use of them counts for
a great deal of their efficacy.
81 might say that the administra.
tion of my remedy is fifty percent OF
the cure"
i DR.. Friedman said this last in an.
swer to question as to why he had
patented his culture in SO many coun.
j tries and why he was SO loathe to
give it 10 other physicians.
"You see, much depends on the ad
ministration," he repeated. .1 might
! hand you some of my germs, but they
/ would do you no good. Physicians, tc
accomplish anything with my cure
must be instructed in its proper ap
4 plieatfon.

i ously in Berlin l did not refuse Y
to the German government His Ex
cellency, Dr. Ehrlich Of the govern
!! ment experimental institute at Frank
J fort-on-the-Main, now has some of my
3 culture for test work"
Il Asked as to his plan for the distri
I button of his remedy, DR.. Friedmanr
explained that at present he had M
f definite plan.
aThat is why | am here ne said
America IS a big country, a ricf
country. and it may be that there

Ia method by which my cure can b.

suits.
II want my cure to benefit all tn,

million dollar offer except through tn
papers and when found last nigh
that there was such an offer. / refrs
