German Doctor, Replying to OBJ
jeCtiOns Of Kaiser's Expert to
Granting Patent, ExtoIs Merits
of Wonderful Culture Medium.

Human tubercular bacilli killed by
his hammering process, DR.. friedrich
Franz Friedman says, may be used
with safety in the treatment of con
sumptive patients. He added that be-
fore he discovered the advantages Of
the hammer. the use OF virulent bacilli
was attended with great danger
Medical men declared last night
that this statement added strength to
the conviction. fast taking root in the
mind of American physicians, that the
original bseilIi employed by the Ger
man saVant as the basis Of his serum
we're taken from a human tubereu-
losis victim and injected into the tur-
tie, having first been cultured to
point whore it was aeelirnstsd to ths
cold -bloOdsd animal HFe.
This startling statement was made
by DR.. Friedman as a supplemental
explanation 10 his application, and
was in response TO a demand from
the German Government. 1t is now
made public for the first time by The
Atlanta Georgian.
Rests in Three Discoveries.
In this supplement the petition for a
patent on his tuberculosis cure, which
was printed exclusively in The Geor-
gian yesterday. DR.. friedman de-
clares that his right to a patent rests
on three discoveries. They are
First-The method of killing tu-
beroular bseilIi with a hammer.
seeond-That viruIsnt and nom
Virulsnt bacilli bred together
would produce non-virulsnt baeil-
Il. the latter in the end complete
" dominating and annihilating
the virulent baeilli.
Third-A naehrboden, or ms
dunn of culture, which contained
a harmless or poisonous sub
stance, discovery heretofore IN
known to baeteriologists.
DR.. friedman says he has shown
that by his system Of hammering hu-
man tubercular bacilh have been COM
pletely killed. so that they would not
infect a guinea pig, whereas bacnii
treated by the old method Of pulver-
ization have demonstrated that they
still contain their virulent qualities.
which. injected into the guinea pig.
cause death.
Explains His "Naehrbodsn."
The naehrbodeu used by DR.. Fried
mann. ne says. unlike all other cul-
tural mediums employed by bacterlol-
ogists. is not poisonous. On this
naehrboden he has been able to breed
a mixture Of viruisnt p Z non-virulent
baciHi which becomes non virulent
whereas in all such mixed breeds at
tempted previously by bacteriologists
the virulence has prevailed
In opposing the application Of
Friedman for a patent. the prelimi-
nary examiner reported:
1T has been known for some time
how to alter by breeding and how 10

OF the laboratory experiments men
toned in The above Patensscrift, ia
must be concluded that curative SCI
