 0F FRIEDMAN
Father Of Local Physician Thinks Alleged Tubercu- losis "Cure' Is Nothing But Pure Get-Rich Quick Scheme

tuberculosis "cure" now being ex-
 plotted in this country by pr. Fried
 mann, are contained in an interview
 with Dr. A. w. Brayton, of Indiana 1 poils' father of Dr N. D Bravton. of
 tills clty, which has been published in
 indiana papers and is LOW being given l wide publicity. Dr. Brayton recently returned to his home in IndianaDolis 1 from visit in the East where he at l tended number of clinics. And in 1 cldentally he also made extensive in | Vestgauons of the organisms causing lntantlle paralysis. In discussise 2 | these investigations pr. Brayton says: The most interesting thing I saw l Tn New York was the demonstration 1 or organism causing infantile paraIy- | sis by Drs. simon FIexnor and H ! Noguchl the evening of May A, before the section on pathology of the New 1 York Academy of Medicine
 The berry like fronetti (cocci and streptoccD was shown under the 1 microscope. The pores are ultra micro scopic They pass through a porce- laln filter with great pressure and this clear filtrate produces the disease in monkeys through twenty generations 1 Noguchl is the wizard of hacteriologv It was he who first cultivated the or ganism which produces a blood dis ease-the treponema pailidum, a cork screw like organism disc overed by Schaudin in 1905, and the true cause searched for, over half a century, had known Us, as scienchete
 He applied the same methods to lhe spinal paralysis research so suc- cessfully with the sperochete organ ism and grew and isolated the cocci from the pores. More than one hum dred Were present and the feeling was intense Wagrichi was brief and Eio0eSt, and he was enthusiast Stically cheered Very different was this dem onstratiOn, the outcome of years of patent work, with the side show of Fnedmann's claims to the discovery cf cure for tuberculosis. which I saw demonstrated.' from ? to D. m., at the New York OrthopediC dispen- sary and hospital the same day.
 These present-the thousands or physicians as the dispatches have it were Drs. Beasley and Nusbaum 0f Indianapolis, to whom I am indebted for q ticket to the show; Dr. Martin of Ohio and my personal friend, pr. W. H Seeman. patholoGist to the health boards of New Orleans and 1 Ouisiana There were also the ordi nary clinical assistants and nurses i FIiedmann, himself, and the surgeon oC the hospital, who is well and fav- i lordbly known to the medical profes- sion, Dr H. C Frauenthal. thoroughly cCnversant with all the methods of treating surgical tuberculosis-the only i kind shown I saw no cases of pull monary tuberculosis.
 
 from the country. Sixty-two of this | kind had received the injection from i tverty to thirty days before of pr. l FIiedman's lining turtle tubercle bacil- | in the thick glateal muscles. Of these cases I saw ten presented and | cannot go into details, aS We assured | pr. Frauenthal (whOse guests we were. l rather than Dr. Friedmann's) that We would leave the reporting to those ] conducting the clinic.
 'I saw no results superior to those 1 O. our well known treatments by rest | and splnts and the use of the bacil- | Iary extracts of tuberculosis in our | own town and hospitals. pr. Fried | mann was impressed with the ire i cuent disappearance of pain in several 1 cases of tubercular joints those ex- 1 hlbited were of the knee, elbow and | Tt0k, SpliS COlh dDSNt>ScS anu SOilit i with open pus channels.
 But all doctors know the tendency 1 Of joint erculosis-indeed, of all 1 early tuberculosis-to get well.

 There is no recognition of Dr. Friedmann in the United States or Germany by scientific medicine The whole movement appears to me one purely mercenary.
 The Friedmann people are fight ing among themselves. It is a get rich-quick scheme which could only be promoted in the United States The American people and the Ameri- can press should not make our un- fortunate consumptives a source of gain for a rapacious foreigner pro- noting a remedy of improved merit by establishing state institutes and make and sell the cultures in viola ton of the spirit of our laws.
 "Dr. Friedman has been careful not to violate the federal law, which to protect the public against impure or dangerous vaccines and serums, made all these substances subject to interstate commerce under the control of the public health service.
 ''State laws are hard to get and difficult to enforce. The German people would not permit their sick to be the victims of Friedmann's scheme. It was to the writer far cry from the ninth meting of the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis at Washington May S-9, where was gathered the wealth. the science and the sympathy of this great nation trying to solve the problem of tuber- cuIosis to the little show of Fried {
