HUNDREDS BEStEGE CLINIC FRENZVED
BY HOPE FROM TUBERCULOSIS CURE

Berlin, Jan. 81 have seen a clinic
in the poor districts of Berlin where
the tuberculosis treatment of Dr. Fred
erich Franz Friedman was being ad-
minstered.
A crowd of about a hundred stood
waiting. When the door was opened
there was rush of women, many Of
them carrying or leading children.
Doctor! Doctor" they all seemed
to cry at once. They are pleading for
their own lives, or for the lives of their
sometimes for both.
In groups of half dozen they were
admitted to the clinic room. Each of
them bore statement from some Ber-
lin physician, certifying that the bear
er was a victim of tuberculosis.
Please give me one more injec-
tion," begs a young woman. Size had
received one injection three weeks be-
fore.
1T is too soon" said the doctor.
you must wait five weeks. Besides
you may be well by that time, and
will not need any more"
But give it to me now; it will not
hurt me. l do not have any mo
fever. l do not sweat any more at
night. Please, doctor, once more"
Needle Does It's Work.
Another fne-looldng young woman
steps forward, The dictor fills a nee.
die syringe the diameter of lead
pencil, with perhaps a half teaspoon
full of a water-colored liquid from a
small brown bottle.
She had her first injection five weeks
ago. This is her second.
Zone more injection" says the doc
tor The girl rolls up her sleeve, the
doctor finds an artery in the bend of
her arm. This time DR.. Friedman
himself gives the injection. Into the
artery he slips the delicate needle cf
the syringe, The liquid in the syringe
turns red with the girls blood, but
i is painless operation and she only
smiles. The doctors thumb forces
down the tiny pump and the syringe is
empty Only an almost invisible spot
marks the puncture.
There is one grim, silent doctor
present, who has fought tuberculosis
among the poor of Berlin. In this
very clinic for many years. He has
seen hundreds of them come into this
room and then go out, hopeless, to die.
He is Dr. Hans Karfunkle.

What do you think of this treat.
ment?" | asked him.
ut seems to cure" he says.
How many cases have you seen

treated?"
Six or seven hundred. Their names
are all in those books, pointing to
the clinic registers.
He is undressing a little girl who
is to receive an injection for a tuber-
cular infection of the ears. 1t is an
old story for him, for he has been
watching the treatment in use for
over a year.
An old woman, fevered with tuber-
culosis, bares a lean thigh. DIR. Kar-
funkle paints the spot with iodine and
and DR.. friedman shoots into her
withered muscle a dose of the bacili.
Fifty women and children receive
the treatment during the afternoon
One doctor stands at a table cleaning
the syringe after each use and refills
it with the fluid from the little brown
bottle. Little girls stand with their
faces buried in their mothers s~A.>ts
and some of them cry little with
the prick of the needle. There is al
ways one of them waiting for tde
doctor to turn from the table with
his syringe.
Many Under Observation.
Dr. Friedman is giving his treat
ment to all certified tubercular pa
tents who are sent to him. 1t is esti-
mated that $50 physicians now have
under observation cases which DR..
friedman has treated in the clinics
and in his rooms in Lutzow street
Dr. Friedman claims to be confident
that these cases will show the same
results as the upward of 600 cases
which he has treated privately du'>
ing the past two years, and which
he reported in his address to the Ber-
lin Medical society on November s.
He asks all patients to return in three
weeks after the first treatment At
that time he will examine them and
tell them whether or not, in his judg-
ment, they require further treatment.
Medical World Interest.
1t is unnecessary to cay that the
friedman tests are being watched
with the greatest interest by the
scientists and physicians of Berlin
and those who have been attracted
to the city as the result of DR.. Fried
mann's address to the Berlin Medical
society, in which he made his first
claims of having discovered a cure
for tuberculosis.
Naturally there is much skepticism
among most of the leading scientists
and physicians. None of them ques-
tons DR.. F'riedmann's honesty or sin
cerity, but many of them are afraid
that the cures which he has reported
will not prove lasting, or. that in his
enthusiasm his optimism has gotten
the better of his scientific judgment.

POISONING OF PET DOGS
AROUSES CHEVY CHASE
Mass Meeting of Citizens Called for
Saturday Night to Discuss
Preventive Measures.

Residents of Chevy Chase are up in
arms over a wholesale poisoning of
pet dogs, many of which were quite
valuable.
1t is stated that nearly half a hun
dred dogs have been killed within the
past month. 1t is believed that
strychnine has been placed in sausage
and thrown to the dogs.
James Alexander lost a valuable dog
this morning which had been poisoned
last night, while John Murray and Jo-
seph Craig lost valuable dogs within
the past few days. Only the prompt
action of Griffin Halstead in giving his
valuable dog an antidote and working
over the animal for several hours
saved it from a like fate.
Dog owners in Chevy Chase have ar
ranged for a mass meeting to be held
Saturday night at the Public Library
at Chevy Chase to take steps to stop
the practice. 1t Is stated reward is
to be offered for the apprehension of
the guilty persons.
The fact that pieces of sausage said
to contain poison have been found
on the streets has greatly alarmed
parents. as it is feared some child
might pick up piece of the poisoned
food

FOR PIPE LINE UNDER
TUNNEL AT RESERVOIR
District Commissioners Get Permis-
sion to Remedy an Insani-
tary Condition.

With the approval of Col. Langfitt, the
engineer officer in charge of the District
water supply system, the District Com
missioners have arranged to improve in
sanitary conditions, due to imperfect
sewerage facilities. in the vicinity of the
Dalecarlia or receiving reservoir on the
Conduit road at the District line. In a
letter to the War Department, the Dis
trict Commissioners say that the sewage
from the falls branch system discharges
into the open drainage tunnel Of the
Washington aqueduct at the Dalecarlia
reservoir, making an insanitary condi-
ton which is especially offensive in the
summer time.
To remedy that situation it is planned
to construct pipe line beneath the floor
of the drainage tunnel SO as to afford
connection between the sewer at the en-
trance of the tunnel and the sewer at the
outlet of the tunnel The tunnel is abou,
400 feet long. 1t is proposed to Gu,
through the brick bottom and lay the
pipe line below i, SO as to provide j
closed channel for the sewage in place
of the existing open storm water chan
mel. Gen. Bixby, chief of engineers. has
issued a permit for the work on condi-
ton that no damage is done to the water
supply system.

TO VISIT SOUTH AMERICA.
Experts to Study Meat Situation AT.
fecting Imports to u. S.

Four or possibly more. experts of the
department of Agriculture will be Sc
,ected at an early date to go to Brazil
Argentina and other South American
cattle countries to study the question
or beef raising and its refrigeration
and transportation as it is likely to
affect the American market This is
due largely to the prospective entry
OF free meat into the United States
under the new democratic tariff law.
1t Is not thought that the additional
supply coming from South America will
have much effect on retail prices but
the object of the department is to see
how largely slaughtering and inspec-
ton conditions in South America agree
with the requirements of the United
states meat inspection law.
