TREA.TI1JENT. I mittee has added to itself those
sh'sicians who have under obser-
vation •tJ`ji'"ses treated in those
cities. The commits
tuted reports that "it has carefully
studied the case histories of the pa-
tients inoculated by Dr. Fried-
mann. These number altogether
161, namely : For Montreal, 55; for
Ottawa, 10; for Toronto, 81; for
London, 15."
The report states "As a result
of our observations from March 11
to the present, the following con-
clusions 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
his treatment has neither constant-
ly nor even frequently taken place
in the time during which these
cases have been under observation.
"(3) Thus, upon investigation,
the committee find that the results
have been disappointing, and that
the claims macre for this remedy
have not been proved, and that
nothing has been found to justify
any confidence in the remedy.
defamed by Association for Pre-
vention of Tuberculosis.
despatch from London, Ont.,
s : Dr.. F. F. Friedmann, the
rman scientist, who created a
ore in America when he brought
this continent his alleged cure
e tuberculosis, and who was
en every opportunity to demon -
rate the efficacy of his serum in
e leading hospitals of Canada
s Haien unqualifiedly condemned
• the Canadian Association for
e Prevention of Tuberculosis.
Announcement of the report of
e special committee appointed by
association was made public on
ednesday night at the general
eeting of the Canadian Medical
ssedation.. Dr. Porter of Ottawa,
he Secretary, of the Canadian As-
oeiation for the Prevention of Tub-
:rculosis, the society that has for
once years taken a foremost place
n the campaign to wipe out the
bite plague, read the report,
Dr. Adami of Montreal, Presid-
nt of the 'association, also ad-
ressed the meeting, stating that
here was no doubt as to the fail-
re of Dr. Friedmann, The meth -
ds of Dr. Friedmann had been
riticized, he said, but though Dr.
riedmann did not observe all the
thics of the profession,, still every
portunity was given him to prove
s case. The members of the com-
ittee had approached the study
the remedy with open minds and
asolutely unprejudiced, and had
de every effort to discover bene-
ialresults from the inoculation
patients.
here was no discussion upon the
bject, the report being received
11 acclamation, the applause ap-
ently signifying not the associa-
n's pleasure that Friedmann's
bre was --not a cure, but that
committee had thus publicly ex -
d the alleged remedy . and set
est the public mind.
The Official Report.

A despatch from Morrisburg,
Ont., says : The caterpillar is now
concluding what has b -eon a very
busy season for it in Dundas Coun-
ty, the original home of the "Mc-

whole orchards have been. stripped

orchards who sprayed and took
other necessary precautions have a
prospect of a good Acid of apples.

Strong Speech at Banquet.
A despatch from London, Eng-

elude the co-operation of any other
power, but which tends, on the con
trary, to the maintenance of Eur-
opean peace and establishes be-
tween Britain and France fraternal
confidence and common good -will.".
This was the keynote of the elo-
quent speech which President Poin-
care delivered at Guild Hall on
Wednesday. It further emphasized
the stirring message which Poin-
care has given to the British na-
tion. The President's visit to the
city was a personal triumph. He
received a great ovation as he
drove through the densely crowded
streets. Wednesday night he enter-
tained the King at':the French Em-
bassy, the banquet being in every
respect French, the valuable plate,
decorations, and even the chefs
coming from across the, channel.

some unknown way a spark was
generated, causing the explosion.
A telephone message from Long
Lake on Thursday afternoon stated

recovered. In all, it is understood,
ten were killed, and the search for
the other two 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 some of
the men had all they could do keep
him from doing himself harm, He
himself had a very narrow escape.
