Tubercular sufferers of all parts Of the
city who have been pinning their faith
on Or. Friedmanns turtle culture for
regaining their health have just begun
to realize that under the present regula-
tions there is the least chance in the
world for any one of them to receive
the treatment.
These patients have followed the Ber-
lin doctor from hospital TO hospital and
| then to his hotel hoping to enlist his
sympathy. DR.. Friedman does feel for
them. but he cannot administer his cul-
ture except at hospitals, and those hos
pitfalls which are now open to him will
not receive outside patients.
The most pointed example Of this un-
satisfactory confidence in Or. Fried
mann occurred at the Hospital for De
formities and Joint Diseases, where Or.
friedman went yesterday to treat
twenty seven cases. mostly children.
suffering from tuberculosis OF joints.
During his stay there Of nearly four
hours crowd OF two hundred people
stood about the hospital in drizzlns

liked They We're the kind of cases in
which he expects the most immediate

he welcomed the opportunity to refute
the doubt cast upon his culture by DR..
Bier Of Berlin. The latter in recent
German publication indicated that he
had no personal knowledge of cures by
DIR. Friedman.
