Tuberculosis.

NEW YORK, March 27.-Letters and
kilograms from all parts of the United
States have asked DR. F. F. Friedman,
the Berlin specialist, about doctors who
say they have been commissioned to use
his tuberculosis culture. DR.. friedman
has replied to these inquiries with the
fat statement that he is the only one in
this country who can prepare and admin
lister his remedy.
These quacks have been very active IN
the West and South. it is said. They
have alleged that the culture has been
sent them by DR. Friedman and in many
cases have given preliminary treatments
Dr. Friedman made it clear, as he has
often before, that as yet he has intrusted
no one here with the secret of the prepa-
ration. though he has given the prelim-
mary culture to the government The
Berlin doctor said he would not be re-
sponsible for results and that he had sent
warnings to that effect to those who had
written or wired him.
Patients whom he treated last week
were Yesterday brought before him for
examination He would say nothing Of
their condition afterward, but he was
evidently pleased with their progress. DR.
Henry w Frauenthal, the physician and
surgeon in chief of the hospital. said
that in his opinion the patients had been
benefited by the injection of the Fried
mann culture He was not able to say
how great was their improvement
