(Cable by Staff Correspondent.) 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."
