Monster Medical Clinics.
During the meeting OF the Friedman

Il "a probable that DIR. Friedman will

Ter. Within the next few days the

Letters and kilograms from all parts
If the United States have asked Dr.
Friedman about doctors who say they
have been commissioned to use his tu-
berculosis culture DIR. Friedman has
repl'rd to these inquiries with the flat
statement that he is the only one in
Ills country who can prepare and adj
minister his remedy.
Quacks Active in South.
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 il
many cases have given preliminary
treatments. DR.. Friedman made II
clear. as he has often before, that as
vet he has intrusted no one here, with
the secret Of the preparation, though he
has given the preliminary culture to
the government.
Criticism and opposition to the cure
and methods used by Dr. Friedman
have by no means ended. The latest
TO arraign DIR. Friedman is DR.. Law
fence F. Flick. famous scientist ana
head Of the Henry Phipps Institute.
I'll, is the last refinement of cruelty
said Dr. Phipps. 1T means despair 10
5000 persons in this country who are
suffering with tuberculosis and who
viii die this year
Horrible Suffering.
IF you knew these poor consump-
tlyes as do, you would realize wha;
Il Is for them TO read Of these worder-
fll cures and to know that for them II
means nothing-that they will be IN
their graves before it could be brouga,
within their reach"
The proper course to have been fol-
lowed by Friedman, he said, would
have been to have explained his prep
aration and method fully to the medi-
cal profession of his own country and
experimenting until there was no fur
ther question of its efficiency before
announcing such claims as have been
made for il.
