port Of his tuberculosis cure, DR.. f. F.

in few days or week the secret OF
his turtle bacilli culture injection
would be given to the American medi-
cal profession at large.
we shall not tell the world how to
make the liquid for injection" DR..
Friedman today said through his In
terpreter, as that would be danger
Gus to the interests of the public. But
we shall arrange through regular
channels SO that all reputable physi-
clans may be able to obtain my rem
edy and treat tuberculosis in all parts

1t was explained that the much dis
cussed secret" withheld by DR..
friedman is the method of trans
forming the extract from the culture
of bacilli into the liquid injected into
the patients. In this process several
foreign substances are used and with
out this knowledge, possessed only
by Dr. Friedman and his representa-

cannot be given.
The German scientist was asked II

favorable report before giving out his
remedy.
There can be but one report he
said, "all the physicians who have
been keeping a record Of the cases
treated in this country will admit that
the patients have uniformly improved.
