FRIEDMAN WANTS
HISTORY OF CASES
Hospital Director Believes Ger
man Scientists "Cure' Is
Real Discovery.

NEW YORK. March S.-No cases of
tuberculosis were treated today at the
Peoples Hospital by DR.. F. F. Fried
mann, but the noted German scientist
has promised to treat 100 cases as soon
as the list is compiled giving history
Of each case and a certificate showing
that each patient actually is a sufferer
from the disease.
II spent several hours last night with
DIR. Friedmann,' said DIR. Max Landes-
man. director of the hospital land I
am convinced that whatever the merits
OF his remedy. he is a sincere and dis
tinguished scientist. and no 'faker.' He
showed me his personal reports Of 1.1S2
cases he had treated in Germany, and
also copy of the German Weekly
Gazette, a scientific periodical, for No
vember, 1912, in which he had a long
article descriptive of his experiments
with flattering comments from twelve
OF the most distinguished scientists in
Germany.
The imputation that DR.. Friedman
is not thought highly of in Germany is
false. The mere appearance of the
names of the German scientists at
enough to prove how important a figure
Friedman is in his own country.
"Dr. Friedman is perfectly right in
insisting on having a clear record on all
cases Of supposed tuberculosis which lie
is to treat. He wants to know just
what has been done in each case. and
to make sure that the patients really
have tuberculosis. 1t is shameful to
accuse him of taking before he has
been given half a chance to demonstrate
his remedy. The physicians and news
papers of New York have twisted
around everything that DIR. Friedman
said or did or left undone to look black
for him.
DR.. friedman received a telegram
today notifying him OF the Govern
ment's plans for a real test Of his
remedy. and stated through his secre-
tary, Hunot, that he would give the
Government experts every aid for
thorough and scientific test of his ba-

justment.
At present the Secretary is utilizing
the Offices OF the different bureaus

which he anticipated no difficulty in re-
gard to appropriations.

added to from time to time adjacent to the
original plot, until the Station has 243
of the best blue grass land.
In 1888 a building was erected for the Sta
ton work, and also there was quartered in this
building from early date the department of
chemistry of the university proper. In 1904 the
new Station building was completed, which is
one of the handsomest station buildings in the
country.
At the present time there is ready for
pancy an addition to this building more than
equal to the original. The original building is
now not only entirely devoted to chemistry, but
is necessarily given over to a few branches of
that science the larger number of students
being in the new chemistry building the col
ege campus.
The pure food law of 1893, in which $500
was provided for the inspection and analysis
of foods and products sold in the state, was
amended in 1908, giving greater power to the
authorities making such inspections, and provid-
ing annual revenue of $4,000 for the prose-
cution of the work. The law as amended in
1908 continues to the present time.

a most excellent college with a fac

requires the proper tagging OF every bag OF
feed sold within the state, this tag to bear the
