He fell back on the pillow and drew
the bcdclothes up to his ears, while
Angy followed the doctor out into the
hall TO receive. as Abe supposed. a
more detailed description of his
malady. He felt too weak, however, to
question Angy when she returned, and
stubbornly kept his eyes closed until
he heard Mrs. IIoman tiptoe into the
room to announce in hushed tones that
Blossy and Samuel Darby were below,
and Samuel wanted to know If he
might see the invalid.

UNITED STATES PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICE DECLARES
CLAIM OF PHYSICIAN NOT SUBSTANTIATED
BY INVESTIGATION

was asked by the World correspondent
about a statement sent from the pub
licity division of the public health
service, which reads:
This remedy was so widely her
aided by sensational newspaper no.
tice that it seems safe to say that
there could hardly be a person of
adult years in the country who did
not know something about it, or a
victim of tuberculosis who did not
experience thrill of hope of speedy
and complete cure"
DR.. Blue said that no such state
ment is embodied in the report OF Drs.
Anderson and Stimson, and it should
not have gone out. No reference to
newspapers is made in the report.
DR.. Blue said also that he was much
interested in the Worlds efforts to in
vestigate DR.. Friedmanns cure in
Germany, and regretted Friedman
did not enter into the spirit of the
Worlds purpose.
Couldn't Find All Patients.
The public health service found it
impossible, it said, to locate all of
Dr. Friedmanns patients. His list of
persons treated was considered per
sonal" by him. Drs. Anderson and
Stimson managed to find about 100
patients.
The press bulletin outlining the
report says:
The report naturally does not deal
with the pitiful and sordid details of

The report details merely the medi-
cal observations made on certain pa
tents, the laboratory studies on the
culture used by DR.. friedman and re-
fers to the moral peculiarities of the
doctor only sufficiently to make it
clear that it was his own fault that
the investigation was not continued
suitable cases.
1T is pointed out that the manner
in which DR.. Friedman presented his
claims before the Berlin Medical So
ciety made them paramount to a con-
tention that he had discovered, at last,
the sovereign cure for tuberculosis in
all its forms, provided, of course, that
the disease had not already progressed
beyond all hope of recovery.
These claims the report takes up
in detail and then draws the deadly
parallel between them and the re-
suits of the application of the treat
ment t. patients under the observa-
ton of the service doctors.
Few Cases Were Cured.
Whereas the claims are based on
cases which always seem to get well,
or at least to show phenomenal i'm
FroVement after one or two injections.
the cases which reacted in this man
ner among the test series were con-
spicuously few.
The report does not commit itself
as to whether ,hH !mW O.N... Crt noted
in these few cases WAS due TO the
treatment, or to the stimulus OF a great
hope, or to unaSsignable causes which

WASHINGTON, D. C.-After care
full investigation of DR.. Friedrich Franz
Friedmanns cure" for tuberculosis
the United States public health service
pronounces it failure and declares it
is harmful.
The report of Surgeon John F. An
derson, director of the hygienic labora-
tory, and Passed Assistant Surgeon A.
M. Stimson, who conducted the in
quiry in New York and Washington,
sums up the results as follows:
The claim of DR.. F. r. friedman
to have originated a specific cure for
tuberculosis is not substantiated by
our investigation.
The claim of DR.. F. F. Friedman
that the incubation of persons and
animals with his organism is without
harmful possibilities is disproved.
General Conclusions.
The general conclusions of Drs. An
derson and Stimson are:
THE claims made by DR.. Friedman
for his method of treating tubercular
infections are, in brief, that, by means
of injections of a living acid-fast or
ganism, harmless of itself, he is able
to cure cases of tuberculosis. pulmon-
airy or otherwise, which have not al
ready advanced to that hopeless stage
where death is imminent.
From the manner of presenting
these claims, and from the fact that
successes only and not failures are
reported, the reader of these claims is
bound to assume that such results are
the rule: in other words, that SOW
ere:gn remedy for tuberculosis has at
length been discovered, and inciden-
tally that a method has been devised
for the administration Of living acid
fast organisms which avoids abscess
formations, a complication which has
hitherto limited their employment.
THE results OF the Investigation
here repor ed do not confirm the
claims made by DR.. Friedman.
I'VE find. in hrief. that the prepa.
ration used by him is not strictly de-
void OF dangerous properties Of itself,
still less 50 when injected into tuber-
culosis subjects: that the favorable in
fluencing of tuberculosis processes by
his methods is certainly no. the rule,
and that if we are to aScrlbe to the
Friedman treatment the Improvement
noted In few cases we are equally
bound to impute II it the serious retro
gressicn observed in other cases, and
finally. that the phenomenon of abScess
formation has not been avoided by
DR.. Friedmann's methods.
I'VE found that the organism used
by DR.. Friendmann differs in import
ent cultural characteristics from any
heretofore recognized tubercule ba-
cilluS.
Caused Assesses t. Form.
The simultaneous and intrdmuscu-
lar incubation of animals with the
friedman organism cause the forra-
ton of assesses in over 23 per cent
of the animals treated.
The treatment of animals with the
Friedman organism-rabD.tS and
guinea pigs-eiiher before or subse-
auent to infection with virulent tut
bercle baciIli, is followed, as a rule,
by an increased susceptibility to the

to the broiling city. New York was
oppressively hot, and the apartment,
on Riverside Drive, was cool and dark.
A current of air blew up the Hudson,
rendering it one Of the most habitable
places south of the Adirondacks.
Rittenhouse flung himself down In
his rented morris chair that evening
with a sigh of relief. Not for him the
amusement Of sitting in hot theater
listening to a comedian wheeling to
an almost empty house! He knew
better than that. He was going to
cut his stay in New York as short as
possible by the simple process OF
sleeping as long as he was able. And
the firm had promised him an extra
week.
He took of his coat and unbuttoned

It chose the next best place; 1t rolled

With an unscriptural remark, Rit-
tenhouse got down on his hands and
knees and went after it. He found it
in the farthest corner. He was just
about to emerge when the door opened
and a young lady came in.
Rittenhouse was struck dumb with
amazement. The young lady imme-
diately proceeded to the mirror and
took a powder puff out of her reticule.
Rittenhouse choked with horror.
The young lady started. She looked
around. Then, apparently treasured
that nothing had happened, she be-

this and not the choke that had star
