BKKLIN, Jan. 81.—In nn in
terview today I secured the nrst
story of an American patient wlio
has taken the treatment of l>r.
Friedmnnn for tuberculosis. This
patient is l>r. Otto Stutz of Upper
Siniilusky, Ohio.
Here is the account of Dr.
Stutz' experience in his own
words:
"I have been a victim of tuber
culosis for two years. In des
peration I came to Berlin hoping
to find a cure for myself and for
my tuberculosis patients in Ohio.
"Dr. Friedmann gave me an
injection of his serum in the
thigh 16 days ago. I suffered
no inconvenience except for a
slight soreness lasting about a
week. Within four days after tho
Injection the pain in my lungs
began to lessen. My weight has
increased six pounds. My appe
tite, which has been very poor
the past six months has become
ravenous. I climb four flights
of stairs dally to my rooms, which
was an impossible feat for me
three weeks ago.
"I can only say that something
little short of marvelous has be
fallen me. Ido not know wheth
er Friedmann will give me a sec
ond injection as 1 am doing so
■well, but I feel sure I will lie aiue
to leave for home March 1 if this
improvement continues.
"I shall be entirely cured, T
think, by that time."
This Is Dr. Stutz' story; the
statements are the statements of
a physician. If these deelari
tions give undue encouragement
to tubercular people in America
I cannot help it, I merely pass
Dr. Stutz' statement to his fellows
in the medical profession in the
United States at the same time."
