to believe what I have accmpollshed.

the clinics of Merlin, cases given
up by leadnlg scientists, and with
one or two Injections I have ween

doomed to death made perfectly

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

"What is your aerum?" >
"1 secured It from turtles several
years ago. Many scientist* of Oef

the serum abroad indiscriminately,
for It might get into irresponsible'

Tile truth of tho matter is that Dr

reliable offer for the American
rights from a flood of telegraph i<
proposals from the .United States
and the doctor hesitates to disc us?

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

ly ?et forth by Senator Bourne, In

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,

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

while tho parcel ppst service will

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
