A NEW CANCER CURE.
Testing. Although They Have
Been Disappointed Frequently.

Important results have been attained
by the new cancer treatment.
1t was discovered by Dr. Otto Schmidt.
of Cologne, and investigated by DR..
jesse Johnson, of London, who has
given the results of his observation to
the medical society of London.
DR.. Schmidt does not claim finality for
his discovery, but he asserts that he has
isolated the specific parasite which
causes cancer.
Many parasites have already been dis
covered, notably by DR.. Gaylord, in
Amenca, as associated with cancer.
Dr. Schmidt maintains that they all are
one and the same, their shape and ap-
pearance being determined by varying
conditions. By altering the conditions
Schmidt has made his parasite assume
all these different appearances. He uses
this parasite in two different FORMS
either steriliZed or as serum obtained
in the usual way by inoculating ami
mails.
BY Injecting the sterilized parasite
into a cancer patient he becomes fever
ish, and in about ten hours the cancer
Gus growth becomes painfully infiamed.
Injected into healthy persons, including
himself, the preparation produced no
result, so that it also constitutes test
of doubtful cancerous growths.
In every cancer case of 20 tried the
cancerous growth gradually became sur
rounded with scar, the tissue contract
ing the growth and leading to its de-
generation.
The treatment reduces malignant
tHmors to innocent growths. limits
their spreading power and renders re-
moyaI effective.

looked to France for inspiration. and
they freely acknowledge their indebted
ness to their neighbors across the chan
mel. but they were by no means COPY
lists: they took the French school for
their motif and toned down it's forid-
ness to a somewhat severe style more in
keeping with the English taste and re-
quirements. The French styles Louis
XIV, XIV. and XVI are always consid-
cred very costly, elaborate, and only
suitable for the palace and mansion. as
we have unfortunately taken our ideas
of them from the palaces of Versailles
and Fontainebleau and other ROYAL resi-
denceS, whereas the houses of the same
period were almost equally beautiful
but very much simpler and better adapt-
ed to everyday requirements These
French styles can be applied to English
and American homes and so skillfulIv
treated that they lose none of their
character yet are simple and unpre-
tentioas. The Empire style is more
elaborate and ponderous, being a mix
ture of French and Roman known as
Napoleon's Caesarian furniture. in
which he was anxious to give an i'm
preston of his conquests, and the other
French styles are those of Henri Deux
and Francois Premier. known as the
French renaissance. These various
styles are easily distinguished when
once their characteristics are grasped.
