THE FIRIEDMANN TREATMENT.
Condemned. by Association for Pre-
vention of Tuberculosis.
A despatch from London, Ont,,
says: Dr. F. F. Friedmann,' the
German scientist, who created a
furore in America :when :ho brougJbt
to this continent his alleged cure
Jr for tuberculosis,. and who was
given every opportunity. to demon-
strate the efficacy of his serum in
the leading hospitals of Canada,
has been unqualifiedly condemned
by the . Canadian Association for
the Prevention of Tuberculosis.
Announcement of the report of
the special -committee appointed by
the association was made public on
Wednesday night at the general
meeting of the Canadian Medical
Association. Dr. Porter of Ottawa,
the Secretary of the Canadian As-
sociation for the Prevention of Tub-
erculosis, the society that has for
some years taken a foremost place
in the -campaign to wipe out the
white plague, read the report.
Dr. Adanli of Montreal, Preside
ent of the association also ad-
dressed the meeting, stating that
there was no doubt as to the fail-,
ure of Dr. Friedmann. " The meth-
ods of Dr. Friedmann had been
criticized, he said, but. though Dr.
Friedmann did not -observe all the
ethics ofthe profession, still every•
opportunity was -given him to prove -
his case. The members of the com-
mittee had approached the study
of the remedy with open' minds and
absolutely unprejudiced,and' had
made every effort to discover bene-
ficial results from the inoculation
of patients.
There weenie discussion upon'the.
subject, the report being received
with acclamation, the applause ap-
parently <signifying not the associa-
tion's pleasure that Friedmann's
"cure" was not a cure, but that
the committee had thus publicly ex-
posed the alleged remedy and set
at rest the public mind:
The Official Report.
Dr. Porter of Ottawa read the
following report on Dr. Fried-
mann's treatment for tuberculosis:
"In order to allay public excite
-
Ment, and to afford to the medical
profession and people of Canada
an authoritative statement regard-
ing the value of Dr. Friedmann's
• treatment, the .Canadian Associa-
tion foe the Prevention of Tuber-
culosis nominated a committee cif
five members to study and report
upon the cases inoculated by Dr.
:Friedmann at Montreal; Ottawa,
Toronto and London. That com-
mittee has added to itself those
i ihave obser-
vation
crena who under ob
vation the cases treated in those
'pities. The committee thus consti-
tuted reports that it has carefully
studied' the case histories of; elle pa-
'tients inoculated by Dr. F ed-
�tnanu. These number. altogethei
161, nineely: For Montreal, 65; for
.Ottawa, 10 • for Toronto, 81 ; for
Lonclou, 16."
The teppart: states: 'As a result
of wee observations Emir March 11
to the present, the following con -
elusions seem justifiable
`(1) The inoculations have nei-
ther constantly nor frequently been
followed by any marked change in
the clinical course of the disease.
"(2) The cure or progress toward
cure 'claimed by Dr. Friedmann for
hie -treatment has neither constant
ly nor even frequently taken place
in the ` time during which these
cases havebeen under observation.
"(3) Thus, upon investigation;
the committee find that the results'
have been disappointing, and that
the claims made for this remedy
have not been proved, and that
nothing has 'been found to jastify
any confidence in the remedy.

FREE SUGAR AND FREE WOOL.

Approved By Democrat Caucus in
the United States Senate.
A despatch from Washington
says: Free sugar in 1916 and free
rate wool are now established in
the tariff revision bill, having been
approved late on Wednesday by the
Democratic caucus: • of the Senate
after a two days' fight. The sugar
schedule, as -reported by the ma-
joritymembers of the Finance Com-
mittee and practically as it°passed
the House, was approved :by a vote
of 40 to 6. Free raw wool as sub-
mitted by the majority, and just as
it passed the House, swept the Sen-
ate caucus by .a vote of 41 to 6.

TEN ITALIANS WERE KILLED.
Heavy Loss of Life in Explosion 021
New C.P.R. Line.
A despatch from Kingston ,•says
At 11.30 o'clock Wednesday, night a
terrible fatality occurred eleven
miles west of Parham. in No. 2 coo-
struction camp of the new C.P.R.
line- Ten men were : killed. Mich-
ael Guirrey, all Italian foreman for
Johnson. Bros,, assisted by a dozen,
of hisfellow; countrymen, were en-
gaged in preparing a heavy blast to,
be set off in order to have material
to muck out on Thursday, when in
some unknown way ' a spark was
generated, causing the explosion.
A telephonemessage from Long
Lake on Thursday afternoon stated
that eight of the bodies had been
recovered. In all, it is understood,
ten -were killed, and the search for
the other hyo was going on and men
were working in the debris. The
bodies were more or less mutilated
and in some cases "badly mangled.
The dead Italians are said to 'be-
long to Montreal. Michael Guir-
rey, the foreman, was among those
killed.
` One of the Italians, a. relative of
one of the men who lost their lives,
went temporarily insane after the
catastrophe occurred, and someof'
the men had all they could do keep
him from doing himself harm. He
himself had a very narrow escape.

The. U. Si. Tariff.
Ir4erest in the progress of the Demo.
oratt}o Tariff Bill at Washington has been
revived by .the turn of recent develop.
.rnonts,. In the original draft of the. bill
provision was made for substantial re.
duction in various raw food products suvh
AO live stook and wheat, -but they wore not
placed on the free list, the amount of
duty remaining being, it was olaimod;
sufficient to provide the American farmer
with. ample protection, and to prevent
the measure from being much good to
the Canadian farmer. Finished food pro,
ducts euoh as meats and flour were on
the free list. Inoldontally :ti?ie looked

kIowever, the more radical Domoorate

is to make a Olean sweep of duties on
food stuffs. It now looks as though thole
view might prevail with a certain pro=
vise,: and it is this exception which is of
Particular ter 1 er ot to Oanadian+
s.
The present proposal
is that wheat, live
stook, etc., should be placed on the free
list, but that in the case of Vm.ntriee
maintaining a duty against thesd artioles
a duts of ai similar amount will be Levied
by tba United States.
As Canada maintain duties on food
products she would be on this black list
of Uncle Sam's.
WIlI Revive Issue Here.,
if suecountervailing
h a system of du-
ties actually comes into effect in the
United States, the immediate result is
almost certain to be the immediate re.
vival of discussion in Canada of the Its
oiprocity Issue. The Issue will have die•
tinguishing points. but in" the mala It
will be, the same as caused such a furore
two years ago,
While there is little diecussion on this
Point as rot, I have heard shrewd ob-
servers to the lett week or two say that
the next general election .in Canada will
be fought, not on the Navy Issue as has
been generally supposed, but once again
op. the Tariff Question. These predictions
are based on the foregoing developments
at Washington. It ie easy to see how the
controversy ,might be revived, although
there is no certain indication as yet as to
what, the final outcome of the deliber.
atlons of the United States. Congress will
•be.
A Versatile Ruler.
e Canadians do not know much shout the
politics of France,' but the visit of Pre-
sident Poineare to the ;{ing of England
galls attention to one of the most remark-
able men in the world to -day. Poineare'is
the first man who hae been both Premier
and President of France. It is rather
difficult to understand 'why any country
should have both a Premier and a Pres -
dent or to understand, what. the respective
functions of the two are. In a broad
sense the powers of the President are
similar to those of the President of the
Grouted Stated,: witb the exception that
the .office is supposed to be not, a party
one, but detached and judicial, something
like that of the Governor-General of Can-
ada. .The Premiership is, on the other
hand, held ba, a party leader just as in
the case of our own Premiership. Pain -
care is the first man who has been o0n-
eidered sufficiently impartial and has had
sufficient popularity and ability to se-
cure elevation from the Premier's posi-
tion to that of President.
Hls servloes to France have been re-
markable, and it is understood that in his
short term of office he has already con-
verted a shaky Republic into one of con-
siderable strength and stability. His pop-
ularity- with all classes of people is tre-
mendous. And in addition to his marked
sucrose as a statesman he is 'known as a
most generous and discriminating pat-
ron of arts and letters.
There' are those who say that the chief
executive of the old world's solitary Re -
nubile of size is the most remarkable
public figure: in the world to -day.

Bourassa In the West.
Henri .Bourassa, the Nationalist leader,
has been touring Western Canada. The
party leaders, exbausted by their Parlia-
mentary duties, have been copteut to re-
tire for a period of rest and quiet, but not
so with the irrepressible Bouraesa. In
the West he has been expounding the doc-
trine of Nationalism and he expresees
himself as entirely satisfied with the re-
ception he has been receiving.'
Bouraesa's eloquence and his brightness
always command attention. His speeches
glitter with. sparkling hits which break
forth with apparent spontaneity, For ex-
ample, at Winnipeg he mado reference
to "our, railway magnates, who have
grown so fat, so powerful and so loyal."
And again to "Sir Thomas Shaughnessy,
who, is so concerned with the unity of
the British Empire, ought first to ask

Unprovoked Attack by the Bulger -
fan Troops.
• A despatch from Belgrade, Ser-
vile, says: A strong force of Bulgar-
ian troops attacked the Servian
position at Zletovo and Ralkovate
in Macedonia at 1 o'elook on Wed-
nesday morning. The attack, ac-
cording. to official information re-
ceived here, was unprovoked, and
-fighting was still in progress when
the despatch left. Later reports
from the scene of the fighting say
that the Servian artillery had gone
into action, and a fierce battle was
in progress in which. both sides had
suffered considerable losses. The
Bulgarian attack on the Servians
has created a dangerous state of
excitement here. The newspapers
publish special editions, declaring,
in large type, "War has begun."
The streets and cafes are filled with
excited crowds.

TUBERCULOSIS CURE.
French Physician Says Pearl Is the
Oyster's Weapon.
A novel . treatment for tuberculo-
sis is being studied by Prof. Rea
phael Dubois of Lyons, France:
For the present he refrains from
drawing .any' conclusions or making
any predictions from the experi-
ments he has made. Prof.. Duboia
has made a special study of the na-
ture and formation of pearls, and it
was on his suggestion that .the use
of X-rays to discover which oysters:
contained pearI,s was adopted. The,
pearl is, according to his theory, at
calcareous secretion made by the'.
oyster to protect itself from an in-'
wading parasite. This parasite is
frequently of a, verininous nature;
00 that the pearl is but the brillia0
coffin of a worm, but in many other,
cases the parasite is a micrococ•cus,l
which Prof. Dubois has sueeeede:d:,
in cultivating in an appropriate me-
d'iam.
But an oyste is not the only bel
ing which reacts in this manner;
against a menacing pathogenic
agent. A consumptive cures him-;
self of his ill when the microbes
which are destroying his lungs have:
been isolated, enclosed in a, ealcaro-}
ous product. For this reason it. has.
been argued that it is only neces-
sary to enrich a tuberculous body,
in chalk to allow the calcareousse-
cretions to take the place of the de-`
structive lesions due to the Koch
bacilli.
It has been .found, however, that
certain consumptives might add
chalk to their organism without the`
slightest benefit, and could even
adopt the old-time remedy of pow-
dered bones, which Prof. Robin has
breught back into fashion, without.
improving their condition.
He analyzed the Concretions'
formed around the tuberculous
pi11•ts of the lungs of two oxen and
around the liver of a pig, which,
were recovering -'from tuberculosis,;
and was astonished to find a mice-;
coccus identical with that which he
had found in the centre of the
peados of certain Oysters.
He inoculated twelve guinea pigs
with tuberculosis bacilli and then
inoculated them with this micro-;
coccus. Ten months later one only
w.as dead ; the others had overcome
the disease.

purposes. ` She has been repur-
chased by Messrs. Bowring, the

shortly to Newfoundland, where
she will again be employed in seal-
ipg. There is Milch disappointment
at Cardiff because the vessel has
