Householders in that part Of Brooklyn
about Marcy avenue and Macon street
were disturbed yesterday when word got
about that IA Friedman institute was TO
be opened in the home Of DR.. Elizabeth
II. Muncie. This would be in omen vio-
lation OF the ban placed upon the use Of
the treatment in the city by the Board
of Health.
Arthur Garfield Hays. counsel for the
Eisner-Friedmann combination, said yes
terday that his clients had no intention
Of going against the wishes OF the
Health Department and denied that any
Brooklyn house had been taken. The
story came, he said. from the fact that
Mr. Eisner had been looking at Brook
lyn property with the possible intention
Of acquiring a place for An institute II
the Board Of Health withdrew its oppo-
sltion. He seemed to think there was
no doubt that this opposition would be
withdrawn. Negotiations were opened
yesterday with the department for an
examination Of the treatment
1t Is the plan to have tho present
West End avenue institute open only
as the general offices OF the Friedman
| interests in this country.
The work which Is going on there
Is merely clerical, say the promoters
Of the cure Many handsomely
dressed people drive up to the place
! In motors to arrange for treatments.
The only place legally open for treat.
ment in the country Is tho institute
at Providence. Patients are being told
they will be received there.
To meet the hostile criticism of the
operations of the institute. DR.. q. G..
Rambaud. its director. made a state
ment yesterday in its defence. He said
that the truth of the matter was that
any physician in good standing could
he instructed free Of charge at the in
stitute In the method Of treatment, and
| treat his patients himself
