IWSICIAM FINDS A REAL CURE FOR TUBERCULOSIS Berlin Scientist Announces Tremendous Christmas Gilt to the World. ,r - it <fe tycrllu.

Selyn I IhI m from America, AHatra lla, Kngland and other corners of the earth are hurrying to Merlin to Investigate. Appeals for treatment' by letter and telephone ovnrwhelm the young doctor. I spent JO bourn In three vlslta With I'r. Friedman. He showed me actual cues of ourev, it was tttf- j possible for mo to duobt. Keruni Trcat-iiieiit. ' My treatment is very simple," the doctor told me, "It la a serum. ' On? injection usually drive* all HlgOH of t uberculoslrt geriUi from Hi. i ? jn , t have lived iii. u worbl I of aHtoniHbment for more; than ft ' year, It la dlf fit-nit for me myself to believe what I have accmpollshed. 1 have taken hopoleBB cases from the clinics of Merlin, cases given up by leadnlg scientists, and with one or two Injections I have ween mon, women and children who were doomed to death made perfectly w h oh. again within a apace of a few weeks. "Hut the greatest wonder .to mo iB that the serum immunizes against tuberculosis, Hko vaccination against smallpox. To illustrate thin immunization on my next visit the doctor introduced me to a woman, fevered with tuber culoids, who held in her arms a splendid healthy baby. "This is my only healthy child." said the , woman to me. "One of my chil- j dren died of tuberculosis. Two chil dren older than this baby are sick j with it, and so is a baby younger, than this one. Dr. Friedman gave j this baby a treatment almost two years ago when it was four weeks old and it hap never .been sick." Then the doctor said: Will Boon b? Well. "1 will give this woman and liev children treatment very soon and they will bei well within a few weeks with every trace of tuberculosis gone- from their systems. I could ?how you many other caae* of Im munization Ilka thin." Do you vaccinate an In small pox?" I asked. ' "No, J ouly give an Injection with a syringe of the name serum that ( u??e for patient#.

It only klll^ t uberculosts germs wherever it , counters them." "When will yon send the aerum to the United BtftUif" I cannot tell IV) r 1 li<- pr? : . . intend to treat all , eases ,here IV lierlln personally. I cannot aend the serum abroad indiscriminately, for It might get into irresponsible' hands. Tile truth of tho matter is that Dr Kr fed man is trying to slfte out one reliable offer for the American rights from a flood of telegraph i< proposals from the .United States and the doctor hesitates to disc us? tho question of America rights over the cable, Hopresontatlve* or ? prat American interests will hIioim bo In Berlin to lay offera before the doctor personally, and tho chain eg are that the cure will be 111 tin* United States before many monthn. Dr. Friedman is desperately anxi ous to haVa the serum distributed oyer the world hh soon as possible. "Docs it take long to procure this serum?" 1 asked him. "No. Kroin ;t small vial of the germs enough could be produced In the United States within two weeks to supply a million patlenU with one dose each. in many cases one dose alone cnro?, though I have used three or four." "Is tho treatment expensive?" "No It costs considerably less r?. dollar a dose to manufac Lure." IIP*! "Can physicians administer the serum without special instructions?" "It would be better for two or thr??e American physicians to come over here to receive instructions from me regarding the * principles of the treatment. "How 16ng has it taken you to cure avorage cases , oi pulmonary tuberculosis?" "A few weeks at most. The se rum seems to kill all the tubercu losis germs within the body within a very short space of time. Hemor rhages cease, wounds in lungs heal, fever disappears, the patients im mediately have an appetite and all the devastating work of the tuber culosis germs Is ended.

The matter of units of area and of ?/, ones Is Homewhat complicated. Hut It seems much more tiompllcate than it really la. The reason* for CHtabllshlng- such' a system are clear ly ?et forth by Senator Bourne, In his report pn tho postofflce appro priation Mil. There are Home 60, 000 post offlfces in the United Htates with a map ton feet long, and <<'11 feet wide an effort to doBlgnatb the powtoffloes on such a map would be like printing tho Lord V prayer on the head of a pin. If the shipper has no rate book and map of his own, he will ask, at the postofflce, what the rate la. The postmaster or; clerk will take a directory and nnd quickly, by means of a marginal thumb Index, the state to which the package Is to be sent ? -In this cage, Virginia? find the* postofflce, Alexandria, af ter which name will be a number indicating the quadrangle or unit or area in which' Alexandria is locat ed. The number on his chart will readily ' indicate in which zone Alexandria is in relation 'to Nefl4' York. ? As Alexandria is within three hundred miles of New York it wouh come in the third zone. The rate for the third Jsone is seven cents for the firBt pound, and five cents for each additional pound or frac tion of a pound. So a four-pound five ounce parcel will require 27 cents postage to be carried from New York to Alexandria, which sum S, HOHAI1V" T|?, ^ the citizen will affix In parcel post slumps mid h i h parcel will be <!<? Itvefid WTtbtn <tnc court! hi Jt costs now 64 cents to send four pound* ot hooks either across iIk city or aeross the continent. Under tho parcel post law it will cohI dlght cents to wend the mime package Mcrosn die city and 48 centn to send it across tho conynent. Ah it its at present, if ft housewife In 0 rah tee, N. J.. wantK to order five pounds of coffee from a New York house, the express company will charge her 20 cents to deliver it, while tho parcel ppst service will ask her but 17 cents. If her pack age is 1 1 pounds in weight, the ex press rate is the same as the parcel post rate, 35 cents, but in San Fran cisco she would find parcel post a little cheaper than express on H pounds from New York? $1,32 as against $1.86. On her five pound tea package across the continent, however, she would gain a slight advantage over the previous price, paying 60 cents to the government as against 80 to the express company. On long hauls and small weights there is no possible semblance of competition. ' On short hauls and heavy weights- ? heavy meaning at or near the parcel post limit ot H pounds? there- is little advantage of .the parcel post over express in point of price paid.
