CURE OF CONSUMPTION.

FRIEDMANN’S TURTLE SERUM

(Received 10.25 a.m.) Sydney, April 18,

The Hon. Mr Flowers states that ho has received scores of letters asking why the Government has not obtained a supply of Friedmann’s cure. The Government repeatedly asked Friedmann, and the only answer received was that ho was net prepared to grant the reque ds. Mr Flowers added; “I don’t think that there is any lirpo cf a cure as far as Friedmann ic. ccr.cj.nod. I make this statement in tie interests of suffering humanity. It is cruel to buoy them up with what I call false hopes. People, by delaying, are perhaps making a cure impossible. I cannot mention names, and the doctors won’t talk, but we—the men in Sydney who studied in Germany—know Friedmann. They tell me the story of serum being obtained from turtles is not new. It has been talked about by the leading medical circles in Europe for several years, and has come almost to be regarded as a joke. But it is a hideously cruel joke, -if, as I say, there is nothing behind it but mere sensational talk.” Mr Flowers commented on Friedmann leaving Germany, the home of Science, where he could have obtained plenty of encouragement, and on his going to America, the land of quacks.
