CURE
ASSA|LED BY AN
ALBANIAN
Or. Louis c. RougIin Calls
Germans Claim of White
Plague Remedy False.

DIR. Louis c. Rouglin, of Atlanta.
widely known as a specialist in diseases
of the lungs, today spared no rhetoric
in denouncing the so-called cure for
tuberculosis reported to have been dis
covered by DR.. Frederick Frank Fried
New York.
DIR. Rouglin said in emphatic terms
that the Berlin doctors claims are
false.
There is no longer reason to wait
for results in the treatment of patients
injected with this serum for which
Friedman claims so much" said DR..
Rouglin.
Calls Secrecy Senseless.
This Friedman is evidently a fraud
or at least promulgates most peculiar
ethics in connection with his practice
Of medicine. Why the secretiveness?
Why the continued delay in telling sci
ence what he claims to have discover
ed? His dallying is senseless and at
the same time dangerous.
If this man, practically unknown
until reporter brought him into the
limelight, has discovered even rem
edy, let alone a cure for tuberculosis
1t belongs to him no more than does
the air, the sky-any of Gods gifts
His first duty is to mankind-not Dr.
trledmann. Science will monetarily
support him If his wares establish his
claims. If his claims do not bear out
q h. hoc 10
no one is the loser-save Friedmann-
and what Is one man in the march of
scientific progress?
Let Him Work-Not Talk"
Martyrs have died in pursuing the
problems of science. Let Friedman
work-not talk. If his cure is real let
him release it at once to the world
II 1t is not, let him acknowledge his
error at once to the world. This is no
time for talk and inaction. Too much
depends upon the question of stamp
ing out tuberculosis to allow interior
ers with cures to tamper with the
problem. Too many lives hang by
threads TO permit the trafficking in
human souls such as friedman might
Il, for one, am convinced he has no
cure. / have read news reports of his
demonstration Of the Friedman serum
in the New York hospital and 7 am
quite as willing to believe the state
ments Of such men as DR. Woods
Hutchinson that the man is a fraud as
l am to believe the declaration of
paid secretary that DR.. friedman has
a cure-will in time turn it over for
scientific investigation and that sort Of
thing
Serum Only a Remedy.
From purely scientific basis-one
entirely too complicated for the Law
mind am assured in my own heart
that the extraction of an anti tubercu-
losis serum from sea turtle to cure
consumption is not compatible with
truth. Such a serum has been produce
before. 1t is a known remedy for con
sumption. but it is no cure. Fifteen
years before friedman was heard
from, an obscure German laboratory
man had developed a remedy from tur
tie serum. He made claim to no cure.
Science took up his formula and theory
tried it out and found it efficacious in
cases of tuberculars who were in the
first stages of the disease. To claim
1t cure was putting it entirely too
strong.
Surely, this man Friedman cannot
expect US to swallow all of his bait.
1t is entirely too mysterious a mouth
full, as yet"
Raps Injection Discovery.
Just one more thing. Friedman
has no right to the claim that he is the
first man to have discovered that in
lection of tuberculosis baccili into the
veins or muscles could be used as an
aid in the fight against tuberculosis
The first man who really discovered
this was Trodeau an American of Sar-
anac Lake, who, in 1900, put forward
this assertion and his experiments were
borne out by results later.
Altogether Friedman has nothing
new to show-nothing new in technique
or theory. All this press agent stuff
he has been getting is mere talk-noth-
ing more"
BARN BURNED UP.
