A NEW THEORY ABOUT CANCER.
By /. SAINT-JUST.

Recent experiments made with
the Roentgen rays for the radical
cure Of cancer are attracting a
GOOD deal of attention in Europe
particularly in Paris. Or. Hutch
ms Of South Carolina, was the
first one To suggest this new meth
cd If treatment. DR.. John +. Gil
man Of Chicago. followed in his
footsteps and reported "A series Of
fifty cases treated ny him with
favorable results at the Hahne-
mann Hospital Two patients, ii
appears. were radically cured. DR..
Waldor. Of New York city, lost
no time in notifying his Paris col
leagues. among them Or. L. CazeL
who does not seem To be very en-
thusiastic on the subject.
The Partisan doctor. who is
also an eminent writer, Is far from
condemning the u.s. Of X-rays in
Tho treatment of cancer; he is
afraid. however. that many pa
tients viii be disappointed. Even
If a mcthodical application Of
the rays destroys the diseased
cells Of au infected area. Dr. Cazct
thinks that the FINAL result is only
TO bee compared with surgical op-
GRAFTON. the outcome of which is
inevitably a relapse inside of a
year. The reason of this is that
cancer is a disease in which the
whole organism is involved.
In the opinion Of DR.. Cazet, the
first thing TO do is to investigate
the true cause Of the disease. and
he calls public attention 10 the
researches made by DR.. James
Braitwaite and Prof. Macfadyean.
The evening times. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1895-1902, 1902-01-22

who claim that cancer is due to an
excess of salt in the organism.
These scientists base their Opin-
ion upon the fact that domestic
animals easily contract the dis
ease; the hog is the only one alb
solutcly immune. On the other
hand, animals not subject to can
Ger in the wild state are affected
10y II as soon as they are domesti-
Gated II is weII-known fact that
domestic animals are very fond
Of salt. the hog alone refusing to
parta6e Of it. The conclusion.
therefore, is that salt plays an i'm
portant part in the production Of
cancer. In support Of this contcn.
ton Prof. Macfadyean quotes the
example Of a hippopotamus fed
on salt, which died of cancer at
the London Geological Garden.
Moreover, it has been observed
that the savages who use little or
no salt in their diet are practically
free from the disease. In connpc-
ton with this Or. Cazct remarks
that cancer is more prevalent
among the rich INDUCING in meat
diet than among the poor. and
meat is never eaten without being
highly seasoned with salt. II may
bc added, also, that cancer in the
majority Of eases attacks the di-
gestiye organs, among them the
stomach, the pyIorus, and the
liver. The conclusion Of the Pari
sian doctor is that the abuse of
salt should Doe avoided in eating.
As to the X-rays, hc admits that
they may reyolutioniza medical as
well as electrical science.

A DARING FORECAST-Mr stead
ExPntIates on the Possible Reun-
ion Of the EngIish-speakIng World

ExBatIates on the Possible Reun-
ion Of the EngIish-SpeakIng World
". T. Stead. the weu-known London
journalist. contributes TO the January
Cosmopolitan" an article on the future
Of the English-speaking world. which is
interesting rather from the attraction Of
the subject. perhaps. than from any sDe-
ciai claim to authority on the part OF the
writer.
Mr.. Stead quotes three men who are
practical leaders among their country
men-CecH Rhodes. Andrew Carnegie. and
Sir Hiram Maxim-aH Of whom have pre-
dicted the ultimate reunion Of the great
communities that were rent in twain by
the American Revolution. All three, he
points out. predict that the reunion viii
be accomplished By the admission Of the
various members Of the British EmDjre
into an enlarged Union OF American
States
They agree in believing that it is su-
premeIy desirable. in the interests Of the
peace. progress. and prosperity Of the
world, that the duality which has pre-
place 20 unity. They agree also in believ-
ing that America has succeeded to the
United Kingdom in the leadership Of the
race and that the only possible basis upon
which the race can be reunited is a broad.
elastic federal system which finds its most
complete expression at present in the
Constitution Of the United states.
Nr stead admits that lat the present
moment the immense majority OF the Eng
lish people in England would recou from
the suggestion with horror. and the man
in che street would probably denuunce me
as traitor for even suggesting such
thing" He thinks, however. that this is a
