THE FRIEDMANN CURE.

Dr. Cbamptalonp, Professor of Bacteriology and Public Health at Otago University, in the course of an address on “Tuberculosis” at Dunedin recently, threw a little light on the subject of the Friedmann treatment for that disease. He says “There isi a typo of the tubercle bacillus that causes the disease in birds, another in fish, and another in turtles. In connection with the tubercle bacillus which infects turtles and which, as far as we know, does not affect man, { J take this opportunity of explaining briefly what we know of Dr. Friedmann’s reported cure of tuberculosis. All we know is that he is said to inject first into a vein and then under the skin of his patients a quantity of living turtle bacilli, which are nonvirulent for mankind—that is, they will not set up disease. Whether he prepares the injection in any way we do not know, and we must possess our souls in patience till such time as the Berlin Public Health Department is in a position to give an authorltar tivo iand unbiased opinion of its merits.”
