New York. January 2o.-Charles E.
Finlay. president of the Aetna Nation
al Bank. who offered last week 10 pay
81, 600 TO DR. r. F. Friedman. OF
Berlin. II he would bring or send his
supposed cure for tuberculosis 70 this
country and have it proved effective.
said to-day that he knew that DIT
Friedman would surely bring his Gull
fure here in person and that ne would
sail for the United States within a
couple of weeks
Il have insisted upon his coming.
said Mr.. Finlay at his home at Great
Neck to-day. His brother. who is
here in New York, has received cable
from him telling that ne Is ready TO
start for New York and will sail within
"A week or two. He u coming here TO
prove his assertions that he has at last
found a tuberculosis cure and II he
should fail why there is nothing lost
Mr.. Finlay expects 10 hear within
two or three days of the definite plans
of DR.. Friedman. lie is glad that the
Berlin specialist has accepted his offer.
MIR. Finlay does not look upon the pay
rnent Of the million dollars IN the event
that the cure Is a cure as men of the
medical profession here in this country
do He says he has offered II more as a
reward and to make II certain that
Americans have the benefit OF the cure
He intends TO make the culture pubic
II 1t II d success and TO found hospitals
within and without New York where II
may be administered.
A Business Mans View.
Il regard IL with d business mans
point OF view" said Mr. tinlay. OF
course. ] do not stand to make dollar
By IT. but II is worth while l think
to find out whether II is d practical cure
IL either heals OF IL does not heal
am going 20 pay the expenses of finding
out whether IL Is a cure or not. That
means an outlay of perhaps $4,000
But that isn't much 10 risk If We run
the chance Of getting positive cure
for the white plague.
AS regards DR.. Friedman accepting
the sum of 81 Oc9. 900. ! can't see why IL
should raise such fuss If ne mas
discovered a remedy he deserves 20
have the money II would be reward.
My purpose in getting him to come
over here is TO allow him fair and
impartial trial. l understand that he
has been treated rather badly on the
other side and IL almost without the
fold American doctors even II they
think his actions are unethical. VIII give
him a square deal DR. Lawarson
Brown of Saranac. viii probably con-
duct the test and he will be aided by
such men as the New York medical
profession shall choose TO assist him "
Mr. Finlay went on to say that what
he had heard about division OF opinion
in Berlin over Dr. triedmann
supposed cure had caused him to make
investigation for himself before he made
the million dollar offer to him New
York men whom he knew in Berlin had
looked into DR.. Friedmanns record
and found II good and also through
his bank connections Mr.. Finlay had
found that the Berlin doctor was likely
TO be telling the truth when ne said
ne had tuberculosis cure Negotia-
rions have been going on between tho
two men for the past three or four
weeks.
Not Likely to Bluff.
A man with d straight flush in bis
md is not likely 10 hluf. said Mr..
FinIay i shall do all can TO demon
strate his remedy. First re will dem
onstrate it IN the cases of hundred
patients here. II entirely successful.
the use Of the culture viii be taken up
in the New York hospitals. OF course.
u will be made public and 1t will be
free. When proof has been obtained.
a. believe IL will be. hospitals will be
built outside of New York for the
rninistration of the cure. and hospitals
throughout the country will be taught
its use am willing TO contribute for
this and. of sourse, money Will not be
lacking from other sources when the
cure has received official commenda-
ton
In testing the culture We must first
sec that the patients chosen to receive
the treatment really suffer from tuber-
cuIosis next. that the culture cures
and. lastly. that there are no harmful
effects from u. The treatment must be
given with great care. though 1t Is not
dangerous.
AS I understand II. the culture is

basis of the new cure Is extracted and
used for tho incubation OF the pa

during which time the patient does not
suffer lie must only remain quiet.
