BAN PLACED ON
TUBERCULOSIS
'CURE'Of U, 5.
Official Disapproval of Me
thods of Dr. Friedmann An
nounced by Public Health
Service Today.
Washington.—The seal of official
disapproval has been placed upon the
tuberculosis "cure" brought to till*
country In 1913 by l)r. Frederick F.
Friedmann of Berlin. The announce
ment was made today by the United
Stale* I’ubllc Health Service In mak
ing public an abstract of the report
of It* Investigation In hospital* and
laboratorle* where tests of the Fried
mann cultures were made. It declares
that conclusions of the American phy
sicians are In line with previous re
ports, both In this country and abroad
"which have refuted Dr. Friedmann's
claim to the discovery of a specific
cure for tuberculosis."
Running Sore*.
One-fourth of all cast s treated under
the observation of American physi
cian* developed running sores at the
point of Injection of the "cure," the
abstract says, adding that Dr. Fried
mann admitted tht* to be unfavorable
to effecting a cure but declared bis
method of Injecting had overcome that
obstacle. The report further states
that the bacteria germs used for In
jection by Dr. Frledmonn “show that
the germ 1* different from varieties
of tuberclo bacilli commonly known
at the present time and that their In-
Jectlor* into smaller animals render
ed the subject more susceptible to tub
ercular Infection Instead of more re
sistant, as was claimed.
No specific cases are reported In
tbs abstract made public nor 1* any
mention made of Dr. Friedmann’s
method of preparing hi* culture. The
abstract says In part:
The Report.
"This remedy was so widely her
alded by sensational newspaper notice
that It seems safe to say that there
could hardly be a person of adult
years In the country who did not hear
something about It. or a victim of
tuberculosis who did not experience a
thrill of hope of speedy sud complete
cure. The report naturally does not
deal with the pitiful and sordid de
tails of the scenes ensuing upon Dr.
Friedmann's advent, of the crowds of
Invalids, many of them penniless,
battling for a chance to take the treat
ment, of the greedy exploitation of
hopeless cases who hnppened to have
money and the turning sway of those
■who did not. The report details mere
ly the medical observations made on
certain patients, the laboratory stud
ies on the culture used by Dr. Fried
mann and refers to the normal pecu
liarities of the doctor, only sufficient
t«. make It clear that It was Ills own
fault that the Investigation waa con
tinued longer and upon a greater
number of suitable case*.
Cur* at Last.
"It Is pointed out that the manner
In which Dr. Friedmann presented his
claims before the Berlin Medical So
ciety made them paramount to a con
tention that he had discovered at last
the sovereign eure for tuberculosis In
all Its forms, provided of course that
the dlsense had not already progress
ed beyond all hope of recovery. These
claims the report takes up in detail
and then draws the deadly parallel
between them and the results of the
application of the treatment to pa
tients under the observation of the
eervtee doctors. Whereas the rlalms
are based on eases which always
itecm to get well, or at least to show
phenomenal Improvement after one or
two Injections, the cases which re
aoted In this manner among the test
nor los were conspicuously few.
Doesn’t Commit Itself.
The report does not oommtt Itself as
to whether the improvement noted In
these few cases was due to the treat
ment or to the stimulus of a great
hope, or to unassignable causes which
work Improvement In some cases of
every large series but. It does point
out distinctly that if any one prefers
the first explanation he must is Jus
tice attribute also to the treatment
the very distinct and unusual deter
ioration In the condition of certain
other patients which progressed In
some of them to a speedy death."

in Protest to Russia.
Washington.—ls the report from Vi
enna that the American minister at
Teheran has protested to Russia
against the alleged arrest of represen
tatives of Austria-Hungary and Tur
key at Tabriz, Persia, Is correct, Mr.
Caldwell undoubtedly acted In his ca
pacity as the temporary custodian of
Hie affairs of those countries In Persia,
it Is highly Improbable that he made j
any move In the name of the Amer
ican government.
It's not clear that the American min
ister has been entrusted with any re
sponsibility by the belligerents In Per

tion has arisen to make this possible. 1

Petrograd, via. London, 2:40 p. m.—
Northern Persia Is being flooded with

of the term "the holy war on Russia."
The Persian government, however,
Is strongly opposed to any action at
present.

STRIAE, BARBER
SHIP SATURDAT
i
Gus Madebach Imported Two
Non-Union Barbers, But it
Seems They Joined Union on
Arrival in Augusta-- State
ments From Both Sides.
A representative of tho Barbers’
Union In Augusta last night made
the following statement regarding the
Madebach strike yesterday:
"Madebach was operating a union
shop prior to Friday. One of his
union barbers had Informed him that
he would leave his employ at a cer
tain time to go to another shop.
However, he offered to stay with
Madebach until the latter could fill
his place.
“Friday morning two non-union
barbers came to Augusta from At
lanta and went to Madebach's shop.
The latter then immedlateb’ inform
ed the barber who was working out
his “notice,” that he could get out at
once as he bad filled his position.
This barber left and the twe non
union barbers worked tho remainder
of the day In the Madebach shop.
Friday night there was a meeting of
the barber's union and the non-union
men from Atlanta Joined the Augusta
barber’s union. Madebach was fined
1110 for employing non-union 'men.
Saturday morning came and Made
bach had not a single barber. The
two non-union men had Joined tho
union and the only union man he had
left on Friday, when he summarily
dismissed the man who was working
out a notice, of course, did not return
to work. Madebach later In the day
secured a non-union barber and work
ed the remainder of the day with only
one assistant. The only way In
which Madebach can bo reinstated Is
for him to pay the find and refuse to
employ non-union barbers any lon
ger. Then his union card will be re
stored to him.”
Madebach was asked for a state
ment and he said:
"Because the union imposed a fine
of $lO on me for giving up my union
shop card on Friday I withdrew from
the union and am now operating an
‘open’ shop. Another shop waß suc
cessful In Its efforts to get one of my
best barbers to leave me and I* had
an opportunity of Importing two good
burtons from Atlanta. I wired for
them Immediately. When they ar
rived in Augusta these Atlanta bar
bers, who were then non-union men,
were met hy members of the union
and Induced to Join. Consequently
the conditions facing me on Saturday,
a very busy day, were embarrassing.
However, I. secured other barbers and
by noon was running all right.”’
