ON IMPORTANT

Commissioned by The Seattle 1
Star to investigate and report on
Dr. Frledmann's tuberculoma cure,
Dr. Charles 8 Noble of Seattle left
for New York today, determined to

may be the greatest medical discov
ery In the history of the world.

MAY BAR FRIEDMANN
NEW YORK. Mure 'i fi "»ir<a< Uod, men, people are dving while
all thin talk la coliic on Give this man a square deal and let blm prove
the worth of hla culture."
Thia was the plea voiced today for Dr. Frederick Franz Frledmann,
discoverer of an alleged tuberculosis cure, by Chas. K. Flnlay, million
aire president of the Aetna National bank, of New York, who bitterly
denoun<ed what be characterized a* etforts made In certain quarters to
embarrass the Merlin fcienilst."
Flnlay openly charg'-d that New York doctors were Interfering
«lth Frledinann. and that he had found It impossible to rent suitable
quarters and offices In which to demonstrate his cure.
"All I ask.' declared Flnl;i\. 4is tha: I'r Frledmann be Riven a
chance. That is all he wants, too. If they will, he will try to demon
strate the woith of his cure, but this act of condemning him even be
foie he Is given an opportunity to sho* his wares. Is un American and
unfair.
"Thousands of consumptives are waiting for some definite
assurance of the efficacy of Dr. Friedmjnns remedy. Cannot these
New York doctors realize what it means to these sufferers? Where
is the vaunted fairness of the American people? It is unjust and
inhuman to condemn a man without a chance. He has been unable
even to rent a suite of offices.
"Dr. Friedmsnn is blameless I read about two deaths from con
sumption this morning. There Is Little Miss Miller, daughter of
the postmaster at I ittle Neck, L. I. I had promised she could be
one of the doctor's first patients. She had so much for his
coming. Today she died. Dr. Friedmann may yet have to go else
where."
