FRIEDMAN SAYS
NO MILLION OFFER
BROUGHT HIM HERE
Berlin Scientist Declares He Has
Been Deceived and Misrep-
resented But Won't Sell
His Cure

New York, April S-Dr. friedman
tried last night to rid himself of trou-
blesonemakers and to avoid further
harassments in his tubercular culture
clinics by debating a formal state
nnent. He began:
ct shall stay in this country as Long
as deem it necessary to complete the
work have undertaken.
No man in the world has paid me
a cent since left Berlin. While
was in Europe Mr.. Ffnlay CHARLES E
Ffnlay, president OF the Aetna Ma
come here and prove my cure. I did
not know about his offer until I came
to this country. When T landed MT.
Finlay met me ON the dock and there
made the offer. rejected it.
CT have paid all my own expenses
and those of the gentlemen who ac-
companied me-
DR.. friedman was interrupted by
q question as to whether he thought
he had been deceived by person in
this country who had urged him to
come here by promises that could not
be fulfilled. He went with his
dictated statement:
ST think I have been deceived, but
I shall not be longer. No one in this
world had the right to represent me
here. AS to those reports which I
understand were circulated before I
of the 81, 600, 600 offer was most unfor-
tunate. You can well believe that no
one had the right to represent me
here.
ST came here upon the desire of hun
dreds of American doctors who wrote
come to teach them to cure tu1oer
culosis.
when L had already decided to
come I received an offer from Mr..
Finlay to come here to treat his sou
in-1aw, Mr. Paris. But in that there
was no offer of money. 1 have not
treated him because I have not been
able to practice privately.
-'Now regarding those supposed
statements Of my associates account
ing for my, actions. I have no as
sociates You might say my culture
is my only associate. I stand alone
with my culture. And L am not re-
sponsible for what any one except my
self says about me or my work Or my
pIans.''
DR.. friedman then asked Charles
de Vidal-Hundt, his secretary, to get
the cable which Mr.. FinIay had sent
regarding the treatment of Mr.. Paris.
Mr. de Vida1-Hundt had sat nervous
Iy through the doctors talk and had
once or twice tried to switch him
went out and then came back say
ing he couldn't find the cablegram. |
This message Mr.. Finley has denied |
sending.
Besides Mr.. de Vidal-Hundt, DR..
BENJAMIN who has been known as DR..
Friedmann's assistant, and DR.. M. |
A. StErn of the Ansonfa were also |
in the room Dr. Sturn was chided |
by DR.. Friedman for laughing at his |
remarks and later found an excuse
to leave.
For a week or more there have been
rumo~s about the Ansonia that DR..
friedman of Berlin and his brother
from Colorado City were not on the
best of terms Reason for the belief
in the existence of an open break be-
tween them given yesterday
when it was ascerta1ned that DR.. A
9. H Friedman had left DR.. F. r.
Friedmann's apartments on the sew
anth floor and taken rooms by him
self on the second floor, DR.. F. r.
is now the only occupant
Of the four room suite on the seventh
1Iosor
the result, it is understood, of the
recently published reports that the
American Druggists Syndicate was
,rying through his brother DR.. A. G.
Friedman, to buy the exclusive man
1fa curing and sale rights of the rem
sdy in this country. DR.. Friedman
denies any knowledge of this deal.
Then, too, the evening papers quoted
lis associates as saying that DR.
friedman was disgruntled at the
lopelessness of several of the cases
selected for the Government tests at
Seton hospital, to have taken place
Berlin without completing his work
