ments here and agreed to turn some
of it over to the government for off,
cial tests.
Yesterday afternoon DIR. Friedman
gave an interview to a correspondent.
The purpose of my trip" explained
DR.. Friedman, sis to place my remedy

of thousands of suffering Americans and

sis of the joints. | am willing to treat
any number of patients with a view
to showing equally good results in ex-
ternal and internal trouble"

the most startling statements OF the

value of the remedy.

showing no injurious results. That
'peaks favorably in support OF my hope
hat within the near future the pos

he great white plague, will be re-
called"
DR.. Friedmann's stay in the United
'tates will be short, owing to the press
ng need of his return to Berlin. where
many patients are awaiting continual
ion of his treatment. He will endeav-
n, however, during his brief sojourn
0 meet as many men of scientific re-
earch as possible
He has been overwhelmed with wire l
ass calls from universities asking that ]
e promise them lecture, and also I
rom many prominent people who de- !
ire treatment. He will concentrate, he j
,ys, upon the speedy dissemination of
ne remedy among all classes for the 7
Isting benefit of the human race.
In expressing his pleasure at being
bic to visit the United States, Dr. a
riedmann said that he believed it to a
! the most progressive country in the |
ord in the work of bettering the sani o
Try conditions of its people. In an
cipating friendly reception, Dr. Fried Il
ann said that he would reeiprocate by
wing the best that is in him toward I
'lping America in this great human
ing work.
