FRIEDMAN "CURE"
Government Officials Make First Re.
port ON Tuberculosis Vaccine TO
Continue Observations.

I, GOntgnue DDseryatl0nS.
Washington, May 9.-The first au-
thenic and political report of the fed
eral governments investigation of the
Friedman tuberculosis vaccine made
public here today declares the results
OF the public health service obserya-
tions 80 far do mot justify that con-
fidence In the remedy which has been
inspired by widespread publicity"
The national association for the
study and prevention OF tuberculosis,
before which the report wos present
ed, Immediately and unanimously
resolution declaring dts belief that
mo specific cure for tuberculosis has
been discovered that deserves the
confidence of the medical profession
and the public" and declaring 1t to
be the duty OF the public to continue
'"all the present we'll tried agencies"
Express Disappointment.
Although couched in the diplomatic
terms Of governmental scientific
document, the report on the Fried
man "cure" expresses the disap-
pointment of the public health service
at the conditions imposed by Fried
mann; and says his declination to
furnish complete information con-
cerning his vaccine was not "satis-
factory from scientific standpoint" !"
The public health service, however,
the report says, accepted his condi-
tions because OF the great importance
to thousands of sufferers and the hope
that cure might be found.
TO Continue Observations.
The report was made by DR.. Johns
Anderson, director Of the hygienic
labratory, and DR.. A. M. Stimson,
another public health service officer,
who were designated by Surgeon Gen
eral Blue to make labratory tests of
the Friedman vaccine and observe
the 90-odd tuberculosis patients inoc-
ulated in New York.
The investigators point out that
while DR. friedman ip his prelimi-
nary correspondence Uffered to lay
full and impartial information before
the government, he declined to do so
after coming here. Observations by
the public health service will be con-
tinued, however. and the investigators
express the opinion that the patients
already inoculated must look forward
to long period of treatment.

Will They Hang Her?

woman has been sentenced to hang in New
Haven Conn.,, for killing her husband. The man
who conspired with her confessed to save his own
neck, but he, too is condemned to hang. If the
woman is hanged she will be the first of her to
die at the hands of the state since 1876.
Before that year many women were hanged or
burned at the stake, charged with witchcraft
Gerry or being possessed OF the evil eye" The Code
Of Blue Laws in effect at that time in New England
and under which the Salem witch cases were tried
has never been repealed.
While the killing of husband cannot be COM
pared with the socalled witchery practiced in the
seventeenth century, it is to be hoped that the sent
ment that moved lawmakers to kill those unfortun-
ate charged with sorcery does not prevail in
New England today.
