MAKES FRAUD COMPLAINT
Friedman Cure Made Trouble
at Woodstock.

Frederick StOtfregen hled COM
paint on Monday with the postal
authorities, through Postmaster
John M. Griffin, against assistant
of DR.. Friedman, the German
specialist, who claims to have
a cure for turbercu-
losis, for alleged fraudulent use
of. the mails.
1t will be recalled that some
months ago Mr.. Stoffregen was
one of twelve who received treat
ment from DR.. Fried Imam at a i
demonstration in George Wash
ington hospital in Washington,
before medical experts and prolnl-
nent public men, including the
Secretary of State, Hon. William
Jennings Bryan.
On September "a Mr.. Stof-
fregen received a communication
from M. Eisner, head Of the
friedman Institute in New
York City, written under letter
head OF the Friedman Institute,
requesting that Mr.. Stoffregen
should supply them with state
ment of his condition. He i'm
medlately replied, giving them
desired information.
Two days later he received a
second letter from Mr.. Eisner,
directing him to report to DR.. J.
]. Meyer. of Woodstock, Va,
who would examine him and
give second treatment, if neces-
sary. for no charges would be
made. and stating that Mr.. S.
Elkan, of Strasburg, Va, would
make arrangements for the DEM
|onstration to be given at that
place.
Complying with the lnstruc-
|tions in the letter, Mr.. Stoff-
regen, with his brother, Ernest
Stoffregen, left Friday night for
Woodstock. stopping en- route at
Washington, where they spent
the night, and arriving at heir
destination Saturday morning.
Little trouble was experienced in
locating the two gentlemen,
whom they found in the rear
room of the office of DR.. Smoot
in Woodstock. When the two
Fredericksburg men entered the
room, Mr.. Meyer retired and left
them with Mr.. Elkan. Almost his
opening remark was, it is alleged,
You understand the treatment
will cost you $780,"
Mr.. Stoffregen replied that ,he
did not understand it in that
way, as the letter from from Mr..
Eisner stated the treatment
would be without charge.
Mr.. Elkan then said than Mr.,
Stoffregen was mistaken as the
letter of Mr.. Eisner had not said
that, but when the letter was
shown to him he reduced his
price for the treatment to SIS.
Mr.. Stoffregen told him he did
not have that amount, and Mr..
Elkan then instructed him to
sign some papers. Upon ex-
aiming the papers he found he
says, they were drafts for the
amount, so he therefore refused
to attach his name to them.
Finally Mr.. Elkan tried to have
Mr.. Stoffregen promise to pay
the amount, but he would not
agree to this, as the letter from |
Mr.. Eisner it was said stated |
there would be no charge.
Mr.. Stoffregen returned to this
city without receiving the prom
ised treatment, but with an ex-
pence of $50 for the trip.
After considering the matter
he decided to report it to the au-
t!lorities so that others might
not be put to the same inconve-
1ience. Mr.. Soffregen inquired
thoroughly at Woodstock and
10 one could be found who had |,
leard anything of demonstra- I
ion.
What action the postal author i.
ties will take in the matter can I
lot be ascertained at this time. ]
