That is the finding OF experts OF

the National Association for the
Study and Prevention OF Iuoer-
culosis.
This was the first official opinion
given by the government authorities
on the merits of the Frfendmann
turtle bacillus remedy. and II was
Immediately accepted by the associa-
ton as rust grounds for the pass

people not te be led astray by clafms
which as yet have not been proven
true.
The introduction of the resolution
precipitated a discussion which was
led by Dr. Charles L. Miner. of Ashe-
vile N C.. who opposed the action
on the ground that 1t was not strong
enough in condemning DR.. Fried
mann and his methods OF placing this
serum on the market.
