FRIEDMAN

FROM US.
Official of Public
Health Service
Practically De-
nOunces i" Cure !"

WASHINGTON. May 9.--Practical
denunciation Of the claims OF DIR.
friedman TO the discovery OF a cure
for tuberculosis, though the denun-
citation was cautiously expressed, was
voiced here today before the conven-
tion OF the Association for the Study
and Prevention Of tuberculosis by
DR.. John Anderson OF the United
States Public Health Service.
The report on the friedman treat
ment, which also was signed by DR..
a. NJ. Stimson, Anderson's assistant
as a government investigator. said:
I'VE believe at the present time
that We are not in a position to ex-
press an opinion on the friedman
discovery based upon the present
condition OF patients we have OBJ
served
"The disease for which the rem
edy is used Is prolonged and is char
acterized by periods of advancement
and retrogresslon. II is also one In
which psychic influence Is a powerful
factor. Time Is necessary 70 r-o.s
per valuation OF the effect OF theu-
/ fapealic measures. We must not lose
sight OF the possible therapeutic
value of this feature. and on the 9TH
er hand. II Is necessary to guard
against too great optimism regard
Ing It's merits. Without presenting
In detail the condition OF the patients
observed, we are in position TO
state that the effects thus far OBJ
served do not Justify that confidence
In the remedy inspired by wide
spread publicity.
Harm From Undue Publicity.
In our opinion harm has been
done by the undue publicity, insofar
AS II has lessened the confidence of

nized methods of treatment or has
interrupted their use, and We are
constrained to advise against any
lessening Of those well known mea-
sures which not only have effected
CURES but have reduced the incidents
OF the disease"
Behind the whole report of Ander-
son and Stimson there was an under
current OF criticism Of DR.. Fried
mann. In one part the government
physicians say:
The reticence and vacillation OF
DR.. Friedman has not In any way
been allowed to interfere with our
Judgment Of the effects Of his rem
edy observed by u.s."
While admitting that Friedman
had often declared he did not desire
judgment OF his treatment based on
newspaper attacks, DR.. Anderson
said.
Nevertheless, It Is on these ac-
counts that the public bases its opin-
Ion until they are replaced by re-
liable and unbiased scientific pro-
nouncements. supported By convinc-
ing data"
Attention also was directed to DR..
Frledmann's published address be-
fore the Berlin Medical Society
stating intramuscular injection was
the standard or sovereign" method
OF administering treatment. but that
II offered some difficulties which
were overcome by the combined in

Prolonged Period Of Treatment.
The report also discusses the tech
nical phases, declaring a considerable
portion OF the patients they observed
may expect their treatment at the

INJURY PERVERTED

Strange Allegation Is Made in
Damage Suit Against
the ID. y. II.

A suit brought against the d. U. X
by the widow of Peter a. Dubois
which 10 being heard In Judge Codd s
court. rests largely on the theory that
an accident to Mr.. Dubois while
alighting from q street car In March,
1911, caused him to become mentally
unbalanced and broke down the moral
fibre of his character SO that his haD-
its became somewhat loose, fact
which II said to have been the indi-
rect cause Of his death.
Following the accident, when 1t Is
claimed Mr.. Dubois was thrown to
the pavement by car starting before
he had alighted. his actions showed
him to be not mentally sound. His
condition became so bad that he was
sent to Eloise in November, 1911. He
died there about six months ago. from
q disease which II Is claimed was the
result of habits contracted after the
injury.
The case was tried last May, before
the death OF Dubois, but at that time
the Jury disagreed.
