I saw tears cpme into the doctor's eyes as the little girl ran across the room to show that she was quite well. “In seven weeks every tuberculosis germ in her has been killed,” said Dr. Friedman I saw a boy entirely cured whose leg had rotted away almost tothe hip. I saw men who had had hemorrhages, night sweats, fever, and had been in hospitals, who had been cured within a few weeks and returned to work after only one injection. I saw-a girl who was born with tuberculosis, and whose hand rotted away, who had been cured by one treatment in four weeks.

BOALT. Herr Theodore H. Wagner was indignant this morning. “Why have I not been con- sulted?” he demanded, “Santa Claus comes to you and says: me to centralize my business so that I can reach the little-chimney children of Seattle.’ And you go to Mr. Mique isher, and Mr. Fisher says: ‘Certainly, Santa “Claus shall have Dreamland. And I will furnish the tree.’ “You go to the “public, /ourte ‘Help us,’ you say to the pub- lic, ‘with toys for 5,000 little- chimney children,’ 4 “But not a word to me!” Herr Wagner grew, purple wi righteous wrath. “Christmas and no music!” cried. is Pudding without sauce!

We would have made it ourselves if we had thought about it. Christmas without music, in- deed! Herr Wagner should play for the 6,000 littlechimney children— he and his tpcomparable artiste—40 of them! Then did the clouds fly and the thunder’s roar sink to a distant rum- ble and die away, and the sun shone again—and Herr Wagner smiled. “Thank you!” he cried. “It is a blessed privilege to for the lit- Ulechimney ones, e will play as men inspired—you will see, For the true musician has the big heart-— yes!

I do not doubt that Dr. Friedman believes he has found a serum which is a swift and sure cure “re tuberculosis.

GETS NO MORE THAN HER SHARE OF THE DREAD SCOURGE. “Our rate is about the average rate for the entire country, and it must be remembered that the rate is much higher in the cities than in the small towns, “If Dr. Friedman has actually found a serum that cures tuberculosis, he has realized the dream of every scientific man in medicine. We cure tubercu- losis now, but neither surely nor swiftly. We cure with medicine aided by fresh air, nourishing food and careful attention. “The treatment generally in vogue is not so much a cure in itself as it is a means of aiding nature to fight the disease. “There have been in the past so many ‘cures’ which have turned out to be failures that I hesitate to accept this one as genuine until we have the cor- roboration of scientific men of note. “If it is genuine, it will save millions of lives, and I believe that Seattle should be among the first of the the American cities to introduce it. If it is not genu- ine, it will be one more terrible disappointment to the sufferers from the most stubborn and relentless menace to the public health.” One thousand, two hundred and eighty persons die yearly in the state of Washington alone from tuberculosis. Ninety per cent of the deaths of persons between bi ages of 18 and 40 are due to the dread “white plague. POLICEWOMAN TO FIGHT FOR HER JOB!
