The vein at the bend of the elbow Is usually slected. and some times, espc-lallr In children, the Jug-a-lar vein. These methods of adminis tration are known to all physicians, for many other drugs are given in this manner. "It has been questioned by prominent physicians, and especially by Dr. Carl Von Ruck, of Asheville. N. C who was recently here In New Tork. whether or not these living; Injected bacteria which at the time of Injection are non-virulent (non-poisonous) to man, will not later, after a habitation In his body, be ciml.nt to him.

TO my knowledge It Is quite certain that his particular culture Is as yet In the hands or no otners save nii. -slstatits and the Government officials, who have his remedy under Investiga tion. The work of Investigation is. of nerelty. bound to be slow, and It will i t m- iim. hfnre the Gov ernment Health Service will see fit to hand In their rnmpiet- report, anu un til that report is made public It is safe to sav that non of the vneclne will be distributed for therapeutic use." Convinced that Pr. Frlederich Franx Friedmann Is sincere In his belief ttw.t he has discovered an effective treat ment for tuberculosis. Ir. August M. Kinney, of Astoria, who went to New Tork a few weeks ago as the repre sentative of the Oregon Ptate Board of Health, has submitted a preliminary re IKjrt of his Investigations, which seems to be highly favorable to the Berlin phvslclan. "Tou will kindly accept this report as the truth of the matter as we know It up to the present time." writes Dr. Kin ney. "I will probably remain In New York for some time, at least until I can get more definite Information." His re port follows: -New York City. March !7. At the request of The Oregonlan I am writing my views regarding Dr. Krledmann's new vaccine and iis efficacy In the treatment of tubcrculos-ls. Having been appointed by members of the Oregon State Board of Health to investigate I'r. Friedmann's claims, and also from the fact that my father. Dr. Alfred Kin nev. and myself have for a number of years been treating tubercular cases by the use of other vncclnes and methods, I was especially Interested In knowing whether Dr. Friedmann's claims could be substantiated, and If so. was his vac cine superior to those which we. as well as other physicians, had been using for a number of years. For these reasons! came to New York determined to learn all I could of the new remedy, and In an Impartial munner find out the truth as to Its efficacy. "Having credentials from the Oregon State 'Board of Health and letters of Introduction to superintendents of hos pitals, members of cltv boards of health and Government Health Service. I mas enabled to gain access to th various tubercular wards of hospitals where Dr. Friedmann had patients in his care. Mv time for the most part has been spent In Bellevue. Mount Slnal and People's Hospitals, and In the Hospital for Crippled and Deformed, to which Places I make dally visits looking over histories, charts, and making personal clinical examinations of patients treat ed or to be treated by Dr. Friedmann. 123 ratleala Observed. "I was especially Interested In observ ing rases at Teople's Hospitals, for It h here thnt Dr. Friedmann gave some of his earliest treatments, and. accord ing to his claims. It appeared to me that sufficient time had now elapsed for some Improvement to be In evidence. Most of the cases that 1 saw were tlrectly under the observation of Prs. Stlman. Anderson and Blue, of the Cnited States Government Service, and Drs. Park and Brennan. of the city De partment of Health. In all I have had under observation II tubercular pa tients who have received Dr. Fried mann's vaccine, and close attention and careful record kept of each case. Most of these cases were Incipient cases, or at least cases that had not advanced to any great eitent cases that would be moot favorable for treatment A few were well advanced, but as a rule Dr. Friedmann doea not treat this class of casea "In sinmr up the general results found In cases so far observed and still un der observation. 1 will state that some Improvement haa been observed In most cases. Mark lasprnt eaaeat ee. Of US patients I have under observa tion, over 100 show some Improvement. This Improvement la manifest for the most part In an amelioration of sub jected symptoms, audi as cough, night sweats and expectoration. and S casea showed a alight increase In body weight, varying from of a pound to 4 pounds. The remaining cases showed no Improvement whatever, and a few showed an accentuation of symptoms, due. perhaps, to a reaction subsequent to the Injection. Of the US cases seen, the majority were pulmonary, but a goodly number were rases of surgical tuberculosis t tuberculosis of Joints, bone. skin. etc). It haa been In these latter rases that the greatest Improvement has taken place, many of them, especially tuber cular Joints, showing in some cases marked Improvement. In considering cases shom-ing Improvement, one must hear In mimi that most of these pa tients ere gradually Improving under the usual hospital routine treatment be fore Dr. Friedmann's vaccine was ad ministered. The routine hospital treat ment in most cases consisted of rest, fresh air and tuberculin. Beaeflt of Vacclae Predicted. "The evidence before us at the pres ent time Is almost too meager to make any definite statement regarding the real value of this new treatment. It would appear that, with our present knowledge of results that have been obtained during the short time that has elapsed since Dr. Friedmann's vaccine has been administered, the treatment may prove to be a considerable aid in certain forms of tubercular disease. However. It may be some time before we ran. with any degree of certainty, make a positive statement one way or the other. "The vaccine used by Dr. Friedmann Is a suspension of living tubercular ba cilli In fluid. These bacteria, according to Dr. Friedmann. are rendered non viruJeiil (njon-polaonous) to the human beinr by a sojourn In a cold-blooded Animal, the turtle being selected as the wtie of choice. His method of pre para - - tio of his vaccine has not been made known, even to the Government offl- -4n!s. but we take It that In this respect it does not differ materially from the manner In which other vaccines are madeL "The Injection is mad either into a FREE MARRIAGES IN SIGHT Dex-Mon .ffectlnjr Fee May lead i New Custom.
