While the scientific world is yet reading
with avidity Of the experiments of DR.
Louis Waldstein In the use of pilocarpine
as cure for consumption, learned yes
terday the details of some quiet expert
ments which another New York physician
has been making recently, and which he
and his friend believe will demonstrate
that a cure has been found at last for
those most malignant or human Ills
generous and humorous growths.
The remedy Is known as protonuclein.
The physician whose experiments have
led to some surprising results Is DR.. Wal

Wells began in the New York Skin and
Cancer hospital, in East Thirty-fourth
street, the series of experiments which,

demonstrate the practical view of his the

Among these cases was that of an Ital-

for three years from lympho-sarcoma. one

months the woman had been treated Iy

seat OF the malignant growth was In the
glands OF the neck, and the neck was so
abnormally enlarged that the woman was
IN imminent danger of choking to death.

growing, and was as hard as a stone
This was the state of the case when DY.

difficult, and DR.. Mack the house sur-

and then both were dressed. The patient
was also given tablets of ,protonucfeifi To
be taken internally, two width each meal
An examination two days later showed 4

one OF the glands now yielded readily to
The other gland yielded similarly within
week. Copious injections of the pro
tonuclein solution were continued mean
while, each gland now being easily pene-
trated.
Similar success has been achieved with
other cases of cancerous disease and also
with lupoid and kindred conditions of the
skin. In each instance these are cases
which nave stubbornly resisted ALI other
kinds of treatment. and all these patients
are now reported nearly we'll
So much for the results And now To
answer the question, What is this proton-
uclein, which seems to work su0h wonders?
When ] asked him DR.. Wells answered
this way:
Now. prgtonuclein is composed of leu
cocytes and nuclein, isolated from animal
extracts. The lucocytes and nuclein cam
not well be separated one from the other.
as the one, readily passes into the form
and state of the other, nuclein, BY be-
coming invested with q membrane being
converted into a leucocyte, while a leu
cocyte, after becoming distended with mn
cleoli, bursts and liberates nuclein, This
ready transition Of one into the other
explains why the properties of the lem
cocytes are frequently attributed to fhe
nuclein, and the nuclein is described as
being an anti-toxine.
I'm dry state this preparation keens

Various organs OF the animal economy
possess elements which survive the svs

Bile cell in a grain of wheat, retains its Vi

likewise, to revive when exposed 10 the
influences of heat and moisture. The vi
tally of the leucocytes in the protonu-
clein of commerce may easily be made
when they are moistened with warm water
and examined under the microscope They
then show all the properties Of fresh

when the leucocytes In the protonu-
clein are introduced into the system and
subjected to the heat and moisture Of the
animal body-thelr native element-rean-
imation occurs, renewed vitality is effected
and the leucocyto once more resumes his
predatory movements, destroying the
germs of disease and supplying nucIein-
the universal tissue builder Of the body.
