NEW YORK, March lS--The Fried.
mann tuberculosis cure Is a germ
cocktail, acting as an appetizer on the
white corpuscles and sending them
forth 10 battle with renewed vigor
against the 'virulent tuberculosis
germs IN the system Of the patient.
This simple. but, TO the lay mind,
entirely understandable explanation
OF the noted German scientist
remedy, was given for the hrst time
today, 10 the United Press, by sDe-
cial investigator who has been admit
ted to intimacy with Dr., Frederick
Franz Friedman and who has OBJ
served all the test treatments Of the
patients In New York.
Tho statement follows.
BY DIR. CHARLES :. NOBLE,
Especial Investigator for the Seattle
Star)
After yesterdays demonstrations
In Bellevue hospital. and the Monte
fore home, DR.. Friedman gave his
personal explanation OF the action Of
his injection upon the human system.
The physicians who have been follow
ing the progress of the Frtedmaan
treatment had generally correct
idea Of the mission OF the non-virulent
and atoxic bacilli used by DR.. Fried
mann, but his explanation 70 me was
the first authentic or Official state
ment OF the kind he has given in this
country.
For the benefit OF the laymen,
you may say that the Friedman
bacillus serves "a a tonic. or appe-
tizer for the white corpuscles OF the
blood, the natural defenders OF the
human system, against the depreda-
lions OF virulent disease germs. In
the healthy body the white corpus
.les are extremely active The mo-
ment we breathe into our systems a
virulent disease germ. or. rather,
the moment such germs enter the
blood through the lungs, or by in
lection, the healthy white corpuscles
leap upon them and devour them
One active white corpuscle, we may
say. for the sake OF illustration. is
good for three tuberculosis germs.
BY sheer force then the white cor
puscles rid the blood OF its enemies.

full condition, and they may be able,
individually. TO conquer but one
foreign bacillus and die in the pro-

virulent disease germs secure and
maintain their hold in the system.
multiply and bring about illness and
death.
Technically the repeated injec-
ton OF the non-virulent tuberculosis
bacilli that DR.. friedman has taken
from a tubercular turtle produces in
the serum OF the patient an immune
substance known as bacteriolysins
which are inimical TO bacteria or
specie; the multiplication
anti-bodies, increased phagocytosis
and higher opsonic index.
ITO the layman this simply means
that the white corpuscles devour the
injected bacilli and are Immediately
aroused TO new activity. their appe-
lite or luminosity being turned par
ticularly toward bacteria OF like
specie to those they have just de-
stroyed, or. in other words. the viru-
lent tuberculosis bacilli In the pa

cousin, as it were. to the non-viru-
lent bacilli introduced by the injec-
ton OF the Friedman remedy"
