NEW YORK, June THE first

not checked in a single case.
The report is made by DR.. George

present condition.
The eighteen patients whose cases

cases to be concluded. The clinic was

nary and the others surgical

In not single one of these cases
was there definite improvement to
some the disease has progressed I'M

perature return to normal FIVE OF

Householders in that part of Brook
lyn about Marcy avenue and Macon
street were disturbed yesterday when
word got about that a Friedman in
stitute was to be opened in the
home of DR.. Elizabeth H. Muncie.
This would be in open violation of
the ban placed upon the use of the
treatment in the city by the Board
of Health.
Arthur Garfield Hays, counsel for
the Eisner- Friedman combination,
said yesterday that his clients had no
intention of going against the wishes
of the health department and de-
MED that any Brooklyn house had
been taken.
