alleged injuries sustained by get
ting on a car at Hlaney, The Jury
did not seem to think Bowen whh
entitled to damages and brought In
a verdict for the defendant com
pany.
lu the null, H. I.. Schiosburg vs.
the Seaboard railway for damuges
resulted in a compromise for the
agreed tQ a compromise for the
sum of $350. Thin Hult gVew out
of delay of a shipment of printed
heralds shipped from The Chroulcle
printing plant some months ago to
be used in a special sale to be put
on by Mr. Schiosburg in his store
in Columbia. The advertising mat
ter was placed in the company's of
fice at Camden and did not reach
the plaintiff's place of business until
opening day of the sale. Mr. Schlos
bur sued for $1,600 damaes but the
above compromise resulted. The
plaintiff was represented by Messrs.
Smithy and Wlttkowsky, while the
railway was represented by Messrs.
Mclv^r and Prince.
Thayer M. Reed and husband,
Converse Reed, vs. Seaboard rail
road was the next crise on docket.
Mrs. Reed claimed damages amount
ing to $60,000 in an accident which
occurred near Charlotte while rid
ing in a Pullman car. Some testi
mony bordering on the sensation
al waa brought out at the trial. The
jury brought In a verdict of $6,000
damages. Mrs. Reed Is a daughter
Of Rev. A. S. YYUliford a former*
Baptist minister of this* county, and
was represented byrBest, McMaster
and Captu M. L. Smith, while the
railroad was repr^ejited ?by Mclvfit

Seaboard railway. Suit for $50,000
damages sustained in alighting

LOGICAL AND SCIENTIFIC,
BUT AS YET UNPROVED
Says Dr. E. C. Thrash, a Practic
ing Physician, in Atlanta
Constitution.
There is no subject that is ?o
much iu tho minds eye of th?* public
now na the "Friedman Cure." There
js Hurh anxiety, doubt and mysticism
surrounding it all that everybody
is asking everybody else questions
that nobody can answer. This story
is tho result of careful observations
of hit* work , in New York by one
who has ,saw him and has studied
this phase of medical science.
foffilMB treatment is not, as is gen
erally supposed, a new discovery,
but Is only a modification of the
method began by Roch, of Berlin,
in 1890. The principle of this
treatment is to introduce a sub
stance into the tissues that will
stimulate them to activiy and enable
them better to combat the tuberculo
sis germs. This stimulation is
brought about by inoculating a per
son with some of the attenuated or
weakened germs. There are several
ways of producing this attenuation,
the principal ode* of which, la ? to.
grow them in a laboratory and to
extract the toxlnes which they ela
borate, or to grind them Into an
Impalpable powder, suspend this
ponder in a normal salt solution,
h$at this solution to 60 degreea C.>
flat one hour, after which it 1b glv
Odr hypodertnicaliy in graduated ln
creasing doses. When this attenu
ated material is pjit Into the sys
tem the cell structures And their
derivatives train upon It and enable
titain better to combat the more
fnoua germs and their toxlnes
ti are already In the system. In
KfFOrds, It is to give the body
a technical training for the
work they have In hand.
' Scientific, Logical, Effectual.
j This training is not unlike that
of- a varsity football team practic
ing with scrubs before going against
tbelr contpetlng varsity squads.
The major baseball team hardens
afd gets In proper fetter by prac
ticing with minor ones. The mother
$at cripples the mouse upon )vhlbh
she allows the kitten to train. This
Procedure Is scientific, logical, and
the only effectual method wo haV?
of successfully combating thC "ty?~
great captains of death ? tuberculo
sis and typhoid fever. |
? father of this method of
.teg -disease Is Robert Koch,
1, followers, by^nodifymg and
Improving his work, have become
able to prevent typhoid fever and
euro Incipient and some forma of
moderately advanced ,, tuberculosis
This Is tho most technical and scien
tific mode of treating disease. Tu
bercle bacilli, however, have never
up to the present time been success
fully Introduced into the tissues in
large quantities whole, either dead
or alive, from the fact that they
are made up of a waxy constituency,
which makeg- it difficult - for the
body cells to disintegrate them..
For this reason, when they are in
troduced whole, they produce no
dules which often remain fon months
without being absorbed. This is why,
up to the present, we have not ad
ministered them except after they
havo been thoroughly ground. To
say th? least, Friedman should
hay? the credit ol .being- the first
one who has had nerve enough,
and been djaring enough, to Intro
duce them In largo quantities alive.
"Whether bl? method la a cure or
not, he has made it possible to
Introduce these germs alive by at
tenuating them just as Robert Koch
did the dead ones. The difference
is that Koch and his followers at
tenuated theirs bv ; heating them;
and grinding them, whereas Fried
man has produced his attenuation
by growing them In a turtle, which
Is a cold-blooded ; animal, ft long
since having been known that all
cold-bloooded animals are more or |
leas Immune to tuberculosis;
Analogy in Smallpox* . v.
One of the beet object lesHoim
which we have of this Is smallpox.
The immunity of the cold-blooded
animal will produce an attenuation
of weakening of the tuberculosis
germ by growing them in this *nl
mal, Just as the germs of smallpox
are attenuated by growing them in
a oow. This animal, .'. being in a
measure immune againgt this di
sease, the smallpox* poison, after
being grown in a oow^ and a per
son Inoculated with this Virus is
naid to be vaccinated. The word
come from vacca, meaning a cow.
We have Bincexome to ttse-'the- tern*
in all cases where attenuated bac
teria or their, metabolic products
are usecj lii the treatment of di
?easot_ This mode of treaUhenl is
called "vaccine therapy, V aud Fried
man's method is only one of the
modifications of this vaccine thera
py.

The principal A objection to " his
plan of administering theso germ*
is, that Just a# the bacteria are at
tenuated : by growing them in thev

ber of this family, Uvea on I)r, L. T.
Gregory's plantation, one mile south
of Kershaw. He iu 109 years old,
and remembers and can talk inter*
estlngly of the visit or Marauls Lft
Fayette to ('umdon iu 1825- He
can remember when Camden was ih
woods, and whoii the first clearing
was made for the erection of a log
cabin that marked the beginning of
the now beautiful Uttlo city. It Is
InteregtJng to hear Uncle Frauk talk
of the anti-bell um days and of the
inoldents of the war period and the
trying days of reconstruction In
South Carolina. While time hat
left its malrk upon him, Uncle Frank
is a pretty llyely old fellow.
Auothor member of this fumlly,
Bella Simmons, who lives about* 14
miles from the city of Camden, Is
112 ysars old.
The mother of these two negroes)
died about 15 years ago at her home
near Camden, at the ag.e of 116
years.* She was ft genuine Afrifcan
?captured by slave traders and
brought io South Carolina when she
was about 11 years of age and sold
to a wealthy planter on the coast.
Her relatives now .living remember;
and often speak of her peculiar
speech? how she would talk oftimes
tc herself ip. a language they could
not understand.
Tvo brothers and one sister of
Frank and Bellp Simmons, (ill of;
whom have been dead quite a num

80 yearB. ?
A number of citizens of Kershaw
ha v* heard XJncle Frank gfve tho
history of Kershaw county almost
from its foundation down to date.
Jfrom his mother and by his own
observation he has acquired a know
ledge of the 'historical events oc
curring In, this state for the past
125 years, and he talks interesting
ly on many subjects, going often
into the recitals of many Important

,_JDila_-work: ot Friedman's. how
ever, whether it 1b a cure for tu
berculosis or not, in a sWp fdrwaWP
in the solution ot - th^ great un
solved and almost unsolvahle prob
jlem of curing tuberculosis. It will
stimulate scientific men, who had
' previously grown into a more or less
state of lethargy, to take up this
data as it Is presented to them,
perfect it and finally utilize it In
the cure of tho disease. If Fried
man haw done nothing more, he has
Stimulated scientific mei to great
er activity, which may enable them
' to solve the problem earlier than
they would have otherwise done,
j As td the personality and capa
bility of this would be savant, I
will say that he does not strike me
as a fakir or a crook> but as one
who belieVes in himself strongly,
one who is positively certain that
he has a cure for the disease, al
though he has not the appearance
ot a scholar or a master. If he has
made -a discovery my opinion is
that he will go down in medical his
tory as a scientific "accident," - as
his work_ansl technique have the
'earmarks of the careful^ painstak
ing, trained technician. This opin
ion does not ; come from the fact
that he did not use his hypodermic
syringes correctly or that he? felt
nervous and irritable in treating
his patients, us that could easily
nave resulted from stage A fright.
To prove that It was stage fright,
the . technique of the administration
of his remedy on the second and
third days was absolutely .correct
and; faultless, whereas upon tho firat
day It was sloppy and not aseptic.
Hl?- fault was not In -this, but In
his not establishing his work before i
the Berlin Medical society and get- J
ting tholr indorsement, In not com-,
lng to America with case record tr
and charts of patients that he had
treated, and submitting them to
^he-medical men before whom ho
expected to make his demonstrations
as documentary evidence is What the
world requires now, and not mere
statements from men.
Lis-i Where Friedman finyd. j.~;"
Not only this, but he has left the
medical profession in a position
where they suspect him as a charla-^
tan In not giving the m^thodl of
preparing his vaccine. For this,
though, 1h> should not beJriameqL
but KhouTffTbo for ^Sot explaining
to tile profession why ho does not
cIvq':, them his methods. The reason
Is that he has a living culture of
germs. If he should tell the public
the method of growing these germs .
and give out to any person the most I
infinitesimal quantity of this pro-]
duct he would enable that person
to grow enough of this substance
within a very few weeks to supply
.tfttC'fWprJk^. His preparation Would
then be entirely out qf his hands
an<Lhe.'tyould lose .everything of
his work et?ept the credit of having
made tho dlK<overy He to at faujL
in not making this explanation. He
is entirely justifiable In withhold- ?
ing the mode ef growing theses germs |
and the quantities he gives until he
has perfected ? his treatment before i
giving the exact dosage and t&e
length of tirab be?r?*beacJrd<?*;t
and should protect hiatself so t!kat|
