DOCTOR HERE WITH
ploRKoWSKl CURE
Says II Is the Original
Turtle Culture Made
Harmless.

Dr.. William Johnston Beattie OF Lit
tleton. n. H.. who has been experiment
Ing and studying four months In the
Berlin laboratory OF Dr. Piorkoweki. one
OF the first to use the turtle serum rem
ody for tuberculosis. arrived yesterday
by the Cunarder Mauretania with
enough serum TO treat several hundred
patients and the recipe for making al,
that he may need in his practice. He
said DR.. Friedman had conceived tha
same idea OF the value OF tho serum
AZ DR. P!orkowski. who really discov-
cred It, and that DIR. Friedman had
left the Porkowski laboratory in 4
hurry. before Or. Porkows,l! had per-
&c ted the remedy. and rushed of to
commcrcia,ize It.
DR.. Bcatte said he believed that the
difference between >the Piorkowski
serum. which Is also the Bcattie serum
and the Friedman serum was essen
'!al. The friedman cure. he said. was
the Pforkowski serum in the expert.
/, mental stage. or as IL was when DR.
Friedman left DR.. Piorkowski's lab
oratory. and the Beattie serum was the
perfected product OF DR.. Piorkowekis
patient laboratory work.
We have eliminated the danger Of
using the serum that has attended its
application by DR.. Fr!edmann." said
Dr. Bcattie. That means that We have
removed the possibility OF abscesses
forming in the cells after incubation
DR.. friedman claims that he has a
tubercular bacillus. So he has. but he
Ia wrong II he says he Is the only man
that has one. He saw an opportunity
to strike out for himself after he had
been experimenting FOR some time in
DR.. Piorkowsk!'s laboratory. and he
went into the world and commercializeo
his idea"
DR.. Bea.tie said he intended to open
a laboratory here and treat everybody;
those that could pay would oe expecte
to and those who could not wou!l be
treated free. "Dr. Friedmann." Or.
Beatt4e said may use his sertm and
will use DR.. Piorkowskls and then We
shall see
In n typewriter abatement Siven to
the reporters at Quarantine. Dr. Beat
tie says:
"Dr. Piorkowski, as a matter OF fact
discovered that turtle bacillus could he
used az treatment for tuberculosis.
and To him should be given the credit
without any shadow OF doubt, for this
discovery
THE wonderful results obtained BY
this special form OF turtle bacillus is
nothing short OF miraculous. and ] am
30 thoroughly convinced Of Its efficiency
that would ray withou. fear Of con-
tradiction that nearly all cases of tu-
berculosis in their first and second
second stages can be absolutely cured"
The arrival OF DR.. Beattie with the
Piorkowslxi tuberculosis serum injects a
third group into the already tangled
turtle germ situation here. Dr. Beattie
says that he has the rights for the sale
Of the serum in this State and in Massa-
chusetts. and will begin treatment soon
The two other camps. the Eisner-
Friedman combination and the DR..
Sturrn turtle cabinet. were both very
active yesterday.
Or. Sturm handed out yesterday a
long statement telling what he thought
Of DR.. Friedman. Moritz Eisner and
his lawyer went TO Philadelphia yester-
day 1t was said that their errand was
to sell the right 10 use the serum in
PENNSYLVANIA.
