TUBERCULOSIS CURE

REV. E. WARD’S REMEDY

MINISTER’S OPINION Press Association CHRISTCHURCH, Today. Interviewed today the Hon. A. J. j Stallworthy, Minister of Health, said that the Rev. E. Ward, of Point I Chevalier, had been given every opportunity to prove his bona fides in I relation to his claimed cure for 1 tuberculosis and that up to the present Mr. Ward had not fulfilled his j undertaking. It was the fault not of the department nor of the Minister but of Mr. Ward himself. “From the moment the Rev. Edward Ward interviewed me at Auckland,” said Mr. Stallworthy, “I promptly did all that was reasonably possible to secure for him a fair and unbiased trial of his claimed remedy under responsible medical men.” There was no truth at all in a statement made that any paltry financial consideration stood in the way of giving the remedy a trial. Mr. Ward was guaranteed that, subject to the disclosure of his formula and method of treatment to a responsible sanatorium superintendent, to which he agreed, as a necessary preliminary and a favourable reply from the superintendent, all reasonable expenses would be paid to him. That position still stood.
