FR1EDMANN GASES
NOT DOING WELL
New York. The Friedmann patients j

This fact, combined with a knowledge
of the nature of the sale Friedmann
has recently accomplished, has made
all physicians connected with the
Friedmann tests anxious not only for,
their own patients but for the welfare !
of the public in generaL j
Before the week is out It is most
probatie that three, and perhaps four, j
public statements will be made from i
public institutions, none of which will '
be favorable to Dr. Friedmann or his j
treatment
This Information has been placed In !
the hands of the New York health de- j
parement, telling of the poor showing I
which the Friedmann patients, all of
whom have been watched for the de- j
partment, have made. I
The statements made are strong, j
One of them Is supposed to be that
some of the cates treated would have
been better off if they had not had
the Friedmann injection and that the
presence of the culture in their sys
tems seems to have given the bacilli
a chance to work in places which they
might not otherwise have attacked.
