Urged to Go Slowly.

I've urge those who are sufferers from
tuberculosis, or whose dear ones are VIC
Tins of the disease, to go slowly before
they think they have recovery WITHIN
their grasp, and not to abandon the more
tedious methods that have as yet been
the only ones found TO ameliorate their
malady: not to be hasty about INDUCING
in false hopes; not to squander their
money on this remedy, nor on the fraud
ulent limitations that will undoubtedly
appear to profit by the advertisement 1T
has received. Hew to the old line. and
wait till proofs are offered in place OF
claims.
LAS we said above. it is not impossible
that Dr. Friedman has devised a remedy
that VIII be an advance over our present
methods of treating tuberculosis. Our
knowledge Of the process of immunity
lead to believe that We will ultimately
be able to prevent or cure the ravages
of the tubercle bacillus, as we have done
with smallpox, diphtheria and typhoid
fever. Reasoning from the analogy of
the past. the chances that the remedy of
Dr. Friedman will offer any very great
advance are small. That 1t will fulfill
the extravagant claims he is reported to
have made for ii is unbelievable The
incredible sometimes does happen, but it
is apt to be otherwise.

TO TEST NEW CURE
Public Health Service Ready
to Try Tuberculosis Remedy.
DISCOVERY OF A GERMAN
DR.. F. F. friedman of Berlin Claims
to Have Positive Treatment.
WARNS SUFFERERS OF DISEASE
District of Columbia Medical Society
Advises Against Haste in
Adopting Remedy.
WARNS SUFFERERS OF DISEASE

That a thoroughly scientific test will be
made by the United States public health
service of the new remedy or tuberculosis
reported to have been discovered by DIR.
F. F. Friedman of Berlin, If he makes
such a request, was the announcement
made today by Surgeon General Rupert
Blue
1t will not be necessary for DR.. Fried
mann to come to this country in order to
have the test made, it is said, but merely
send to the public health service sample
of the serum which he declares will cure
the dread disease accompanied by
request that it be examined. If this is
done the serum will be tested at the by
gienic la laboratory in this city and be put
to practical test at the tuberculosis
sanatorium conducted by the United
States public health service at Fort Stan
ton. New Mexico.
The claims of DR. Friedman for the
curative powers of his new remedy are
branded as eXtraVaSant in statement
issued by the District of Columbia Med
ical Society today. Sufferers from tuber-
cLlosiS are advised in this statement to
refrain from ''squandering their money on
this remedy or on fraudulent limitations
that undoubtedly will appear to profit by
the advertisement it has received. Hew
to the old line and wait till proofs are Of
fered instead of claims
Praise for Mr.. Finlay.
1T is not impossible that DR.. Friend
mann has discovered a treatment that
will furnish an advance over our present
methods of dealing with this disease
the medical society statement says. IF
he has done so, the boon he will have
conferred on humanity will be worth
many times the -million-dollar fee said
to have been contingently offered by Mr.
Ffnlay.
1.-The spirit which aninates Mr.. Finlay
in offering so large part of his fortune
to the liberation of the human race from
the scourge of tuberculosis is admirable
though the wisdom of the publicity that
has attended the offer may be questioned
Already We hear of a multitude of appll-
cants for membership in the chosen 100
and bitter disappointment and suffering
must attend the selection.
1.-The pathetic side of these new dis
coverjes is seen when we come into con-
tact with sufferers from these diseases.
When tuberculosis is SO advanced as to
doom to invalidism death, they ma
turally grasp at any straw that seems to
offer salvation. They hurry to squander
their remaining resources and those OF
their families in procuring the new RENE
dy They neglect the slow and imperfect
methods that nature has prescribed Ior
I rapajr of injury and disease.

nor interpret the lines as they sohuld
be. If anything could be said in criticism
of the company it would be that it is
stronger than last year, with two impor-
tant changes in the cast.
The play deals with the international
marriage question. The plot tells of a
bargain which was entered into IS years
before the beginning of the play for the
marriage of a daughter of wealthy
miner of the west to the twenty first
baron of Wolfson, a dissoltue lord of an
cient lineage. The marriage results in
three sons. the oldest and heir to the title
follows his fathers footsteps. The sec
ond son is even worse, a semi-idiot, while
the third is noble OF heart and BRAIN a
great man.
| From America come a Mrs. Quscke
bush schemer; Vivian Ford, daughter
| of an American millionaire, and a girl
of superior character and heart. The
| twenty-first lord Immediately plans a
marriage between the girl and his oldest
son in order that the purse of the fam

determines her to forego the riches she
will get If she marries as she is told, and

Morrison was riding about G5 miles an

The accident was douby unfortunate
owing to the fact that Morrison was on
the last lap of 10-mile race His prin-
cipal opponent, Charlie Brown, had just
finished few seconds before the acci-
dent occurred. Owing to the bad weather
the accident was witnessed by only a
few people. The course was in bad con-

skidded just as 1t struck sandbank.
Death resulted just as soon as Morrison
hit the fence, his skull having been frac-
