DR. FRIEDMANN'S' TROUBLES.

According to a cable message from New York, published in Sydney on May 3, there • was a dramatic exchange of words in a room at the hotel in Montreal, at which Dr. Friedmann, Berlin specialist, who claims to have found a euro for consumption, was staging. ' A Dr. Harding, of the Royal Ed'ivard Institute, battled ,for mora? than an hour in a strenuous endeavour to get from the professor a definite statement as to tho result" of the latter's treatment. High words, contradictions, and admissions passed from side to side, and the pceiio was ! made more electrical by Dr. Friedmann's nervousness and his struggle to put forward in tho English tonguo Ilia claims for his remedy. Reporters had been culled in by the German specialist, and just' as he was about to explain his views, in walked Dr. Harding. Ho told the-foreigner that the results of his treatment were no better than tho results of other treatments, whereupon Fricdmanii became very angry. "Then what do you seo in my system ?" ho asked. "lias,not pain'disappeared? Do not patients declare that they aro better? What do you see? Tell me. - ' Dr. Harding declared that he did not caro a snap for outside symptoms. Tho dislippearnuco of pain, tho lessening of expectoration, the gaining of weight and strength* wore, from (he standpoint of pulmonary conditions, not worth a jot as evidence., "J. get them every day," said Dr. Haidiug.
