Cure-Talks Before Cana
dian Physicians

Ottowa. Ont. March 12.-Dr. Rriederieh
Franz Friedman inoeulated ten tnoercu-
losis sufferers today in the presence OF
number of leading Canadian physicians
and members of the Canadian association
for the prevention of tuberculosis. From
81 patients gathered at the general hos
pital. the Berlin physician selected ten
whose cases were not beyond the ineipieht
stage. Silently and scarcely glaneing at
the spectators, he worked under an ap-
parent nervous tension which relaxed at
the conclusion of each demonstration.
No criticism of Dr. Friedmann's tech
niaue was advanced by any one of the
group of physicians present. These IN
cluded DR.. j. ". Maceullongh, medlcai
officer of health for Ontario; Dr. Fred
erick Montazanbert director general OF
public health and Adam Beck of toronto.
president of the association. These heard
DR. Friedman early make an ADDRESS on
his treatment at the tuberculosis conVeh-
ton. In this talk he discussed the man
ner of mis- discovery and the precautions
he took to Insure its harmlessness. Adam
Beck had asked the convention to give
the Berlin physician full opportunity to
prove his claims. Thus encouraged, Dr.
Friedman adjourned to the hospital to
give his demonstrations.
Dr. Friedman employed an electric
sterilizer ordinary foreeps and a hypo-
dermic syringe Only once did ne inter-
rupt his treatments to make explanation.
This was while preparing to inject vac
cine into the leg of a girl who had been
brought him on a stretcher. She sufrered
with muscular tuberculosis.
Dr. Friedman explained that there are
no after effects, such as fever. when
this form of the disease is treated. When
the injection is for pulmonary tubercu-
losis, however, the patient Is affected
with a high temperature for several days
he asserts.
Discussing tests of his vaccine as a pre-
ventive of tuberculosis, DIR. Friendmann
in an address today expressed the hope
that this would be found to be the great
use of his discovery in the future.
Il have found this remedy harmless
when | used it for patients ranging
from earliest childhood to the most ad-
yanced age in all forms of applications
intramuscular and in
travenous-even in big Doses" said
Dr. Friedmann, and equally efficient
in all forms of tuberculosis, pull
monary. bone, joint, glandular and
skin. Aside from absolutely hopeless
cases whose fates were already sealed,
the remedy has proved it's efficiency
in most instances.
ITO obtain the ideal, to eradicate
tuberculosis an endemic disease, 1t Is
necessary not only to cure the tuber-
cular individuals now living but also
to protect the future generations from
infection by method following in
principle Jenners vaccination. SO far
I have vaccinated $50 children varying
In age from / month to 8 years. Most
of these children were living in tuber-
cular environments and much exposed
to Infection The earliest immuniza-
tions were made II months ago and all
the children are well today and are
free from all symptoms of scrofula
or tuberculosis.
There is a well founded hope, there
fore that this win prove the right way
and the one to which our future efforts
will have to be directed"
