A newspaper correspondent visâ€" ited and interrogated numerous pa- tients who had been treated for ltuberculosis, including pulmonary throat trouble and glandular and knee bone tuberculosis. These pa- tients all asserted that they had been cured after one to three 1n~ ctions of the serum. Several of hose cases of bone tuberculosis Were of long standing, which show- ed scars where once there had been running sores, which healed up in a few weeks. In two of these cas- es amputation had failed to cure. In the course of the investigation the correspondent visited a. poor working family, whose child had not walked in four months, owing to tuberculosis of the knee, and a1- I0 of the lungs. The child receiv- ed an injection of the serum seven Weeks ago, and is now able to run and dance. Another case was that of a young man whom amputation of a limb had failed to cure.

The correspondent also talked with the father of two children, both of whom had been suffering from bone tuberculosis. One was cured by Dr. Friedman in six weeks. The other has been under treatment by one of Berlin’s most famous specialists for seven months. The specialist has now asked Dr. Friedman to take the case. Numerous physicians and tuber- culosis specialists are On the way to Berlin from Australia, the United States, South America, and other countries to study and in- vestigate the new discovery. Au- stralia is said to be sending a Gov- ernment commissioner. English physicians are already here. Dr. Friedman is so deluged with letters and pathetic pleas for treat- ment and by telegraphic and cable requests from physicians for the serum, and offers to buy the rights, that for the moment his work has almost stopped. Dr. Friedman will not distribute the serum until he is properly protected in the principal countries, but will per- sonally treat cases here. He will open an institute in Berlin next week.

Henry, One Causing a Serious ound A despatch from London, Engâ€" left groin, inflicting a dangeroul land, says: Sir Edward Richard Henry, Chief Commissioner of the London Metropolitan Police, was shot and seriously wounded on Wednesday night by a man who had an alleged grievance against him. Sir Edward was alighting from a motor-car at his residence in Ken- sington on his return from Scot- land Yard, when the man rushed from the opposite side of the street [and shot at him three times with a revolver. One bullet entered the wound; the others missed their mark. The Commissioner’s chauf~ four, who is an ens-policeman, grap- pled with the assailant and over- ,powered him. It turned out that the man. whose name is Bowes, had a month ago applied at Scotland Yard for a taxicab license, which was refused. Subsequently he wrote to the Commissioner, plead». ing for a reconsideration, but with- out avail. For this reason he nursed a grudge against Sir Ed- ward and lay in wait for him.
