Them at Once.

New Orh, F6D. Zt.-ETOOl new QAcA-
leo alone there has came to DR.. Franz
Friedrich Friedman, the young Ger
man scientist who is convinced he
has discovered a specific for the cure
of tuberculosis, 10, 900 pleading requests
by telegraph for him to come there as
early as possible and test his lymph.
The superintendents of tuberculosis
hospitals at Fort Bayard, Fort Stan
ton and other places in the far south
western states signed the kilograms.
Similar requests from all parts of the
country poured in upon him all day
in his apartments at the Waldorf-As-
toria His secretary, c. Dew. Hundt,
was kept busy all day opening tele-
grams and letters and receiving callers
SO great and unexpected was the
rush of local victims of the white
plague to the new shrine of their hope
that DR.. Friedman found 1t necessary
to have a sign posted stating that he
would take offices later where he will
treat patients but he could not see
patients at the Waldorf.
Rich Patients to Help Poor.
Through his brother, DR.. Arthur
Friedman. who has been a practicing
physician at Colorado Springs, Col,
many years, the German scientist
made further explanation today of the
reasons of his visit to the United States
at this time and some of the plans he
virtually has decided upon. As soon
as practicable DIR. Friedman will open
a dispensary at convenient center in
Manhattan for the treatment of all
patients applying.
Naturally said the German saw
ant, II shall expect the wealthy per-
sons who apply to us to pay literally
and thus contribute from their riches
to help defray expenses for the benefit

the actual work, both of teaching and
of practicing will have to be done by
myself. Hence 1 hope the public will
be as patient : possible. Everything

DR.. friedman accepted an urgent
invitation from the New York Physi'-

Finley Story Not True.
"A grave error has been committed by
somebody in the statement that my

clan.
ut is true that Mr.. Finley was instru-
mental in inducing my brother to visit
the United States at this time the physi-
clan from Colorado went on, but he has
not made any such financial offer to my
brother. We appreciate Mr.. F1nlays
humane and philantnroplc motives 100
highly to permit this false impression to

asked.
Because L am determined to do the
most good possible for the world by keep

Per cent higher than it has proved and
the white plague would rot now be claim
