WHAT IS BEING. GENERALLY BIS-
CUSSSED AT THE PRESENT TIME.
Physicians. Have Little Faith In Pm cried=
mann's Remedy -No Hope for
Fedora! Square,
A change has come ever the attitude of
the medical profession, toward Dr. Fried-
mann, who has just paid. a second visit to
Toronto. When he first came to this coun-
try the attitude toward hint, was one of.
expectancy and hope, .although it is pat
going too farto say that from the first
there were many physsioiane who looked
upon his reported cure for tuberculosis,
with scepticism. On the whole, however,
the attitude in Canada was much more
friendly than it was in the United States, mob of foreigners rushed the police,•
and there was general approval. of- the station and attempted to free the
adjoining .site at the foot of Yonge St.
The new Poet Oftice is to have a front-
age of 328 feet and: a depth of 186 feet, It
is estimated that the additional land re-
quired will cost not less than 56,500,000,
although this land is not in the most
expensive area.,

MAN IS KILLED BY POLICE.
Fatal Shooting in Street Car
Strike at Fort William.
A despatch from Fort William,
Ont., says Shortly after 6 o'clock
do Sunday evening a car operated
by strike-breakers ran off the track
at the korner of McTavish and
Simpson streets. Windows were
broken and the car was also dam-.
aged. About two hours later a
course of the authorities in extending a
special invitation - to the German physi-
clan to come' to Canada to give demonstra-
tions of his important remedy. n •
From a situation where there were only.
a few skoptios, the condition has -'now
changed to one in which' nearly the en-
tire medical profession' expresses •,little
hope that any great advance in the
treatment of tuberculosis has been made
by Dr.`' Friedmann, This, altered attitude
is due%to two facts.
In Patent Medicine Glass?
First, the sale by br. Friedmann of his
rights. to the. manufacture .of the remedy,
which i3 in .theform of a serum, 'to a
private company in which it is under-
stood Dr. Friedmann himeclf retains a
large interest. The feeling among doe•
tors is that this is unprofessional conduct
and placed the reported remedy in the
class of patent•,modfeines and nostrums.
It may be pointed out, however, that the
attitude of the medical 'profeseion to this
class of medicines is somewhat more
strict than isthat of 'the general public,
There seems to be souse basis 'for the ori- •
ticism, that if Friedmann had made a
.great ` discovery euoh as' that made by
Pasteur or Lister, the best thing he could
have done would.have, been to have given
it freely to the medical profession. If
his remedy had been ef10w:dohs his repu-
tation would then have been' secure and
a grateful world would doubtless have
seen that •-honor and wealth would have
been freely awarded.,
Second, .the: progress of the patients
who have been treated by Dr. FLriedman i
has not been decisive. In some .cases
there has been improvement, but the scep-
tics maintain that <'this •'improvement
Might have been observed even if there
had been no Friedmann treatment. In
one lean who had been arrested.
The police fired a volley over their'
heads. They came. on, and one
man leas killed by the volley which
followed, and another was badly
.wounded in the leg; The -mob'
'tan retired, The man killed was
Mike Smorak.' : John Wulk was
wounded. It was not properly a
strike riot, as there were no strik-
ers concerned, but' the affair.arose
out of the street car strike which
began here on SaturdayM morning.
The mob consisted of foreigners,
worked up'to a' frenzy by agita-
tors.
