A NEW THEORY ABOUT CANCER.
Reasons why Salt Plays an Important
Pnrt i'm Its Propagntion.

Part in Its Propagation.
Recent experiments made with the
Roeutjen rcys for the radical cure OF
cancer are attracting a good deal Of
attention in Europe. particularly in
Paris, writes l. Saint Just. DR.
Hutchius. OF South Carolina. was the
first one to suggest this new method
OF treatment DR.. John r. Gilman, Of
Chicago, followed in his footsteps
and reported series OF fifty cases
treated by him with favorable results
at the Hahnemnnn Hospital Two
patients. IT appears. were radically
cured. Dr. Waldor. OF New York
City, lost no time in notifying his
Paris colleagues. among them Or. l..
Cazet. who does not seem 10 be very
enthusiastic on the subject
The Partisan doctor, who is also an
eminent writer. is far from condemn
ing the use or N-rays in the treat
ment OF cancer; he Is afraid. however.
that many patients will be disap.
pointed. Even II methodical appli.
cation of the rays destroys the dis
ease cells of m infected area, DR..
CaZet thinks that the final result Is
only TO be compared with surgical
operation, 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 to the researches
made by DR.. James Braitwaite and
Professor Macfadyean. who claim
that cancer is due to an excess of salt
in the organism. These scientists
base their opinion UPON the fact that
domestic animals easily contract the
disease; the hog is the only one alb
solutely immune. On the other hand.
animals not subjected to cancer in the
wild state are affected by it as soon as
they are domesticateG. 1t is we'll
known fact that domestic animals are
very fond of salt the hog alone re
fusing TO partake OF it. The con
clusion. therefore, is that salt plays
an important part in the production
OF cancer. In support of this con
tcntion Professor MacfHdyean quotes
the example of an 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 connection with this
DR.. Cazet 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 1t may be
added, also, that cancer in the ma
jority of cases attacks the digestive
organs among them the stomach, the
pylorus and the liver. The conclu-
sion of the Partisan doctor is that the
abuse of salt should be avoided in
eating. As to the N-rays, he admits
that they may reyolutionize medical
rs well as electrical science. New
