Testing Or. Friedmann.

Chicago journal: Those who com
with undue suspicion while testing his
cure for tuberculosis do not understand
the seriousness of the matter.
tuberculosis is the greatest of human
plaques; and likewise one which has
defiled human science with most sue
cess. 1t has been studied by thousands
of men splendidly equipped for the
work. Its cause. its course. it's mode
of passing from victim to victim all
are known; but its cure-unless brought
by DR., Friedmann-~is not known
Remedies by scores have been put
upon the market, and reused false
hopes in the breasts of thousands of
sufferers only to fail at the test. After
all the study and care devoted to this
disease it is AS true today rs two thou
sand years ago that there is no specific
cure for tuberculosis.
Surely, the man who claims to have
solved this greatest OF medical mysteries
and conquered this deadliest of diseases
must expect to have his claim examined
with unusual care. American physi
clans would be unworthy of their call
ing if they did not subject the Fried
mann cure to the most severe and
searching tests.
If he can pass these tests and prove
that he has cure for tuberculosis, then
the medical profession of America will
join with the world in calling his name
blessed, and no one will grudge any re

the United States who will break his

he is one huge piece of bone, without
a joint or hinge of any kind. His body
Is as hard as stone and as rigid as
cannot even smile.
Eighteen years ago Worden awoke
one morning with stiff neck There
was no pain. but he could not move his
head. He paid no attention to 1t at
first. But the atfliction grew worse.
When Worden felt his jaws becoming
set he placed small wedges of wood
between his teeth and in that position
the lower portion of his face became
rigid
In time the wedges were removed
and the teeth were left about half an
inch apart. Through this aperture he

Gradually the hardening affected his
body. his limbs and then his feet. In
eight years Worden's feet and ankles
We're as rigid as stone.
