FR|EDMANN CURE
BRANDED AS FAKE.
BY GOVERNMENT
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 6-The
so-called tuberculosis specific widely
exploited about year ago by Freder-
ich Friedman, Berlin scientist-phy-
sician, and which has been under in
vestigation by experts employed in the
United States department of public
health for several months, was this
morning declared worthless, after ex-
tensive experiments and observations
had been concluded. Laboratory inves-
legations of the Friedman culture,
submitted for examination, the report
declares, utterly refutes all claims
of Friedman that his serum is
specific for the cure of tuberculosis.
Dr. Friedman first exploited the
serum in America a year or more ago,
when an adroitly-planned advertising
campaign was launched to spread the
alleged conquest of tuberculosis by the
great German scientist. Thousands of
patients were declared to have been
entirely cured after having received
only few injections of the remarka-
Bile serum and many Americans rushed
to New York to obtain treatment
when announcement was made of DR..
Friedmann's intention to visit the
United States.
Medical men, at first pleased with the
hope that specific had really been
discovered for a dread disease, were
not satisfied with Friedmann's state
ments concerning alleged previous ex.
periments and cures, and after an in
vestgation a committee appointed by
the executive council of the American
Medical society declared the serum
worthless
Friends of the serum in congress
then prevailed upon that body to ap-
money for an examination in
to the merits of the so-called cure"
to be conducted by experts of the ma
rine hospital service, and the medical
fraternity, in the meantime, was asked
to withhold judgment, though importa-
tion of the serum was barred under
existing regulations, which prevent
the use in this country of foreign SER
ums, until the approval of the marine
hospital service is obtained.
The Investigations begun under con-
gressional authority when the alleged
tubersulosis specific was being most
widely discussed, have just been con-
cluded, and the report of the Ameri-
can medical experts, given the Asos-
ciated Press this morning, declares DR..
Friedmann's discovery to be worthless
as treatment for consumption.

two stores were burned there last

is believed to have been incendiary,

Judge Youmons, who is presiding,

violence occurring in the Hartford
valley and to return indictments

region.

additional time would be granted on
the following, the time limit for re-
ceipt of manuscripts being extended to
the dates named:
For the best list of agricultural pro-
ducts, to November 18th; for the best
menu of Georgia products that can be
served on Georgia, Products Day, to

best statement of reasons why Georgia
manufacturers and producers should
advertise their products, to November
18th; and for the best method sug-
gested for advertising Georgia prod
ucts, to November 18th.
Menus, lists of agricultural products,
lists of manufacturers, and reasons for
buying at home and for advertising
Georgia products are pouring into the
headquarters of the Georgia Chamber
of Commerce by every mail On ac-
count of the fact that people in other
states have begun to enter the contests
it has been found necessary to an
nounce that only residents of Georgia
may compete in these prize contests.

stead of having dinner of our la

State Chamber, they will have din
ner of our grandmothers, cooked and
