DOCTOR MAY BE GIVEN
RIGHT TO PRACTICE

DR.. Friedman will be given the priv
ilege OF a Washington physician, IL the
Senate acts favorably on a resolution of
Senator William Hughes of New Jersey.
who was present at the clinic held by
the German discoverer of the turtle
serum.
Senator Hughes said last night that
he would have the measure considered
by the Senate, and will determine what
action is essential in presenting for ad-
mission to the medical profession of the
District the German tuberculosis expert
A very favorable impression of Dr.
friedman Is held by the New Jersey
Senator, who expressed himself as a be-
lever in his sincerity
Their interest in life revived, hopes re-
newed, and confidence in the German
savant above that usually placed in hu-
mans, the patients who on Monday I'M
derwent treatment for tuberculosis, yes
terday were happy-in some cases for
the first time within their memories.
AS the treatment is not claimed to
have immediate effect, the fact that the
patients said they slept soundly as re-
suit of the physical effects of the in
lection of the turtle serum can be at
tributed to imagination.
II imagination did cause sleep, the cure
has done some good. Those who were
successful in their efforts to be treated
with the serum united in declaring that
they slept better following the injection
than for months before.
Statements of some of the patients fol-
low:
IT feel that there is fight going on in
my veins" said Leroy f. Kelley, Of 173S
F Street Northwest. 1T seems as If I
could follow the movements Of the armies
of conflicting bacilli as the turtle serum
endeavors to kill the tuberculosis germs.
The serum had no effect at first, although
DR.. Friedman said / would have fever.
Suddenly, on Monday night, I had a
nervous chill. 1t was then that I felt
the powerful force of the serum. Since
have had fever, but I have felt stronger
today than for long time. / am conf
dent that DR.. friedman has found a cure
for tuberculosis, and / am very thankful
that was one Of his patients. I wish
that the treatment could be administered
to every sufferer
Mrs. George Cohen, Of 1870 Belmont
Place Northwest, said: IT have felt no
ill effects. DR.. Friedman, in whom I
place entire confidence, told me I would
not feel the serum as it worked in my
blood. I believe that he has found a
cure for tuberculosis. Last night I
slept soundly; in fact. more soundly
than since can remember. I am deep
w glad that was one Of the patients"
In the case of Isadore Fruitberg, six
teen, of 81 K Street Northwest. there
has been no effect except in restored
confidence in the possibility Of recovery.
It was said at the Fruitberg residence
that fsadore had been kept in bed since
the injection, but that he was unusually
bright and CHEEKY, and that he seemed
stronger.

At last nights meeting Of the Sunday
School Institute of the Diocese of Wash
ington, In the Parish Hall, of Epiphany
Church. the question, Should the city
Sunday schools be closed in summer? p
was discussed. Albion X Paris, of St
Johns Sunday school, Georgetown par
ish. led the affirmative, while the mega
tive, in the absence of Rev. Thomas
Hupert-Jones, was led by Canon De
Vries of Epiphany parish.
Mr.. Paris likened the Sunday school
to the public school and held that there
Is as much need for vacation from the
one as from the other. Canon De Vries,
on the contrary, considered that the
church's responsibility toward the child
should be stressed. and pointed out that
at that responsibility is in force the year
around.
