MONTREAL, March 11.-A little

result she was one OF the first pa
tients treated by him In his clinic In
the Royal Edward tuberculosis insti-
tute. and If there is merit In the cure,
as doctor and patient believe, she may
be we'll and strong again.
She was Marie Rancour, and both
her father and mother have died OF
the white plague. The little girl, who
is small for her age, and very frail,
had heard of Friedmann's coming
visit here at her home In the wilds of
Northern Canada, more than 200 miles
north. She made the trip alone and
was one of the first to apply to the
| officials of the institute to be placed
| on the list for treatment today The
girls wishes were granted and she
was one of the seventy cases listed
/ for the benefit of DR.. Friedman, but
because her case is pulmonary, in an
advanced stage. there was only slight
hope that she would receive the treat
ment.
But the chilli, the peculiar flush Of
! tuberculosis bringing her delicate
features into bold relief, was one ol
! the first to arrive at the institute to-
day. Hours before the train bearing
the German scientist to the city had
reached the depot she was at the hos

thrown open she was the first to en-

This was probably the most friend

encountered since his arrival from
Berlin Most of the doctors present
frankly admitted that while they
would withhold their judgment pend

they were decidedly hopeful of the
result. Their sympathy seemed to inn
press the doctor, who worked swiftly
and carefully in the clinic. All of the
doctors sympathized with Friedman
over his unfortunate experiences in
New York and he was told that If he
wanted to remain In Canada he could
demonstrate his discovery as fully as
