DR.. sirovloh. IL was present. and |

worth of his serum
Tho siKnincance OK DR.. Sirovich' s
statement Was apparent late this even

the Peoples Hospital. appeared at the
Hotel Ansonia. DR. Landesman has

Or. Arthur 6. II. Friedman" admitted
Dr. i.nndesnlan. If DIR. Friedman Is
wiling. I am prepared to give him an
opportunity 70 hold another clinic at
the Peoples Hospital tomorrow"
Dr. A. G. H Friedman. when asked
concerning the possibility OF another
test being held tomorrow, replied:
I'VE have made no definite arrange
ments yet. My brother intends to so
to IN Peoples Hospital again. We ad-
nit that yesterdays test was unsatis-
factory, but at our next clinic We are
wiling to inoculatc every patient that
IL presented TO us providing a complete
history OF the patients case is present
ed in German. and providing also that
the patient is not in a dying condition.
My brother Will treat no patient whose
condition is so grave that 1t is evident
a chance TO fight the phthis!s germs"
Hollis Over With Rage.
Dr =. =. II. Triedmann's attention
was called TO the statement OF DR..
Broder that DIR. +, F.. friedman Is
another DR. Cook" and also 10 tha
following points in DR.. Broders writ.
ten complaints against the extractor
of the turtle serum:
First, DR.. Friedmann's unprofes-
sional conduct.
Second. his bungling medical me-
thods as instanced by the inordinately
long time required in prepa ton for a
comparatively simple operation.
The bacteriologist's brother almost
boiled over with rage.
Why" he exclaimed. that man does
not know what he is talking about.
Why, do YOU know. il my brother had
been a fakcr. he could have opened Of
fees here on Fifth Avenue and made
from $4,000 to 100000 e day? In
three months he could have made ST.
000 000
But instead he has elected to give
the serum a thorough tryout before
he asks 4 cent from any one. In Ger
many medical men have hailed my
brother as an epoch maker in the
world OF medicine. All that we ask
here is fair treatment.
DR. Broder is piQucd because we
would not inoculate the patients he
presented. He is particularly piqued
over my brothers refusal to treat
Clara Strasstield. My brother offered
TO inject his serum into this girl in a
week after lie had been furnished with
written history of tho case. DR..
Broder replied hotly: IN week She'll
be dead
My brother thereupon responded: :
My serum is a cure for tuberculosis
not death And so he refused the case.
But he will treat any and all cases
where death is not certain before the
clinic my brother is willing to inocu-
late dozens OF patients Then let the
serum speak for itself"
Menace to Public Health.
Il believe that DR.. Friedman is not
only insincere, but a bungler" said Dr.
Broder. in explanation of his stand
against DR.. Friedman. "I believe he
is menace to the public health. and
should not be allowed to make new
test. L went to the clinic yesterday
with an opcn mind. In fact, had |
been impressed with the man or his
discovery I intended going to Albany
and asking my friend, Governor Sui
zer 70 see that he secured square
deal. But now shall do all in my
power to expose u man whom ] con-
slider menace
Whether n clinic is held tomorrow
or not DIR. Friedman announced to-
night that he will leave New York on
Monday night for Montreal. where on
Tuesday he. will appear for demon
stration before the King Edward Tu-
berculosis Institute. In response TO the
invitation Of Premier Borden, Dr.
Friedman has made n similar engage
ment with the Convention of the Can
adian Association for the Prevention
OF Tuberculosis, which is to meet in
Ottawa Wednesday, NEXT
u will return to New York on Thurs
