.FR|EDMANN' 5 CURE FAILS
To Impress American Physicians "a an
Absolute Remedy for
Tuberculosis

Washington. May 9.-Publc health
observations so far into the condition
of the patients inoculated by DR.. F. F.
Friedman with his tuberculosis vac
cine do not Justify that confidence in
the remedy, which has been inspired
by widespread publicity in the opin-
ion of the surgeons who have conduct
ed the governments investigation.
This first authentic and official con-
clusion from the tests were announced
here yesterday before the American
Association for the Study and Preven-
tion of tuberculosis, by DR.. John F.
Anderson, director of the governments
hygienic laboratory, and DR. A. NJ.
Stimson, another public health sur
geon, who were detailed to observe the
progress of the Friedman patients at
Mount Sinai hospital in New York
city.
I'VE believe that at the present
time" says the report, I'VE are not yet
in position to express an opinion bas-
ed on the practical condition of pa
tients under observation. The dis
ease for which the remedy is used is
prolonged and is characterized by pc
riods of advancement and retrogres-
sion. 1t is also one in which psychic
influences are a powerful factor. Time
is. therefore, necessary to properly
evaluate the effect of therapeutic
mea sureS
I'VE do not lose sight of the possi-
bic therapeutic value of this prepara-
tion and on the other hand it is nee
essary to guard against too great an
optimism in respect to its merits.
Without presenting n detail the
conditions of patients under observa-
ton, we are in a position to state that
the facts thus far observed do not jus
tify that confidence in the remedy
which has been inspired by widespread
