HOPE TO CURE CANCER.

FRENCH PHYSICIANS have recent
L w been making experiments with
a new pedicament which certainly ar
rests if it does not completely cure that
most horrible malady, cancer The use
OF the drug has really passed beyond
the experimental stage and the French
scientists feel very much encouraged
They do not pretend as yet 10 have a
cure for cancer. but they do claim the
ability to greatly alleviate the distress
and suffering caused by the disease
Suppression Of cancerous hem
orrhage," says Dr. NJ. G. Mahu, one of
the experimenters, cessation of pain
and consequently rapid and continued
ameIioration of the general condition
are the results we have obtained in
three cases Of epithelioma, simply by
painting with adrenaline. We must not
say We have cure for cancer. but
that in certain cases the progress Of
the neOplasm has been arrested at
least during a certain time, and thus
we have been able to give hope to the
already encouraged patients and TO
render less frightful the ascension Of
the painful calvary which separates
them from the tomb"
Another physician reports a case in
detail. The patient had been operated
upon on three different occasions for
cancer of the breast, but each time the
malignant growth returned with re-
newed virulence. Finally adrenaIins
was administered Internally, supple
mented by a treatment consisting OF
doses of quinine and beer yeast. That
was seven months ago, and the prog
ress of the cancer seems to have been
checked. IL has not been cured. but
it has not grown any more, a fact
that gives the physician considera BILE
encouragement.
But even if adrenaliRe did nothing
more than stop the pain caused by can
Ger, it would be a great boon to hu-
manity. In the United States cancer
is one Of the chief causes of death.
During the census year that ended
June 30. 1900, 29.675 people died from
cancer in its various forms in this
country. If that number died. il must
be taken for granted that many thou
sands more than that were sufferers
from the same cause
Heretofore medical science has been
practically poweriess before genuine
cancer. From time to time so-called
cures" have been exploited. but few
/ of them would bear a rigid investiga-
ton As a matter of fact, it Is nos
/ likely that there have ever been any
/ cases Of cancer cured after the disease
had made any progress. We trust the
men viii be more than realized and
: that they will share the formula fol-
their preparation with the physicians
( of the United States at the earliest
/ possible moment.

Az AUDIT NEEDED.

4 PPARENTLY THE CITY COUN-
n Gil has misapprehended the desire
of the general public for a general
audit of the citv's finances. In the
discussion Of the matter Monday even
ing, it seemed 20 be taken for granted
that the audit was intended to uncover
crookedness IN accoUnts-an inference
entirely unwarraated so far as it re-
iates to important branches Of the pub
lie service
The finance committee. in its report,
hints at some wrong doing in one or
possibly two branches, but none Of the
larger departments has been suspected
OF financial delinquency and it is an in
justice to them to suggest it. But the
public would like to know whether the
corporation Of Salt Lake is being man
aged on sound lines; whether it is able
to pay higher salaries; whether ii can
afford extensive improvements which
are badly needed. and whether its tax
levy for this year VIII be equal to the
fixed charges and other expenses at the
present rate Of expenditure
An audit which would furnish this in
formation need not necessarily be very
costly; certainly it SHOULD not take any
such sum or cover any such long pc
Rod Of years as the finance committee
reports.
A report. based on disinterested ex-
pert figures. would be Of incalculable
value, rot only TO the taxpayers, but
10 the city council as "A guide for judg-
ment in the future. It would show on
its face whether the council has been
managing city affairs wisely and eco
nomically or not. and no public official
ought to object TO such a report unless
his record is bad.
An official who has done his work
properly viii be glad OF the chance to
have the fact known, and a big cor
porati8n, such as the city is cannot at
ford to let its business run along for
years without a disinterested, expert
examination Of its affairs.

body-s conditional gift of S25,000 win be
4 a source of qualification to all Salt
Lakecs. Secretary Cox. who worked
without ceasing to secure pledges, is
entitled 10 hearty congratulations.
But Mr.. Cox did not do the work
alone. He was materially assisted by
some of salt Lakes most prominent
Business and professional men. Now
that their labors have been crowned
with success they should be accorded
liberal share OF the credit With So
coo salt Lake can make more than
fair start toward a building and equip
ment such as The city needs and should
have.
More money is necessary TO fully

promoters They started out with the
idea or raising $1,000 including the
Peabody donation, Now they have
taree-fOurths of that sum. The rest of
the money, as is the history Of all such
movements, win be harder to get than
the $50 600 already subscribed in salt
Lake, strange though that may seem
TO the men who have canvassed for
subscriptions.
1t is not likely that any more large
contributions viii be made because Salt
Lakes wealthy people have been prac-
tically all seen and a large proportion
of them have responded literally. The
rest Of the money will necessarily come
from people who are not well off in
the goods of this world. It viii come in
little donations of SO and $50 and
$50 each And good deal will
be in the shape Of 81 and 81 and s.
subscriptions.
Individually these amounts are not
large but in the aggregate they will
doubtless amount to a sum sufficient to
round out the desired total And right
here it may be said that the man who
gives $40 frequently does so at great
= sacrifice than the man who gives
-. 600 or more; this without any dts
paragement of the larger giver. either
Few charitable movements could get
along without both classes on their sub
scription lists.
However the thing we started out to
discuss was the fact accomplished,
which is the definite assurance that
Salt Lake is to have al no distant day.

credit TO the city and the intermoun-
