vile, n. G.
DIR. Won Ruck has been conducting
experiments with an anti-tubercular
serum for some time with great sue
cess.
1t was only recently that the atten :
ton of the government was called ON
cially to his work and DR.. e. R. StItt
was detailed by the navy department
to make an investigation. After max
ing a preliminary examination of DIR.
Won Ruck's work, DR.. Stitt has re-
turned to Washington elated over the
successes attained by the tAsheville
doctor, and has so reported to the Sur
geon General of the Navy.
Congressman Gudger, representing
the AsheviIle district was the first TO
direct the government attention To
the Won Ruck cure. He called upon
Secretary of the Navy Josephus Dan
iels and asked if the navy department
could make an official examination of
Won Ruck's cure, as was done by the
public health service with that Of Dr.
Frederick Friedman. Secretary Dan-
iels Immediately detailed DIR. Stir. who
is instructor in tropical medicine at
the naval medical school, probably
the most expert laborary scientist in
the naval medical service, to go TO
Asheville and make a thorough inves-
tigation.
DR.. Stitt went to Asheville the latter
part of April and remained there, en-
gaging in daily laboratory work for ten
days with DR.. Won Ruck. He returned
here enthusiastic over the success at
tanned by DR.. Won Rucks serum and
made a favorable preliminary report.

the results attained through the joint
experiments of DR.. Won Ruck and my

engaging in daily tests, and am fully
convinced that his serum is successful.
DIR. Won Ruck's treatment differs
entirely from the methods of DR..
friedman. Friedman has worked
with the utmost secrecy, and refusing
to give the government any quantities
of it to see if government scientists
could attain the same results he
claims to have achieved.

method of its administration.
THE fundamental principles of DR..
Friedmann's and DR.. Won Ruck's cure
also differ widely. friedman ad-
ministers by innoculation a serum
which he claims to obtain from liv-
ing turtle. This serum is what is
known to science as living bacilli. It
is similar in a way to the serum used
in vaccination, which gives the patient
disease known as vaccina to count
eract smallpox. friedman gives the
patient another disease to counteract
tuberculosis. DR.. Won Ruck's vaccine
