Some months ago it was made known that

CURING CANCER.

So many announcements of the discovery Of a
successful method Of treating malignant tumors
have proved erroneous and disappointing that
every fresh one is received by medical men with
great caution. Such is the attitude which the
profession has assumed in regard to DR.. Doyen,
who talked about his own system to the Paris
Academy of Medicine last week. Owing to the
apparent increase in the prevalence of cancer
in the United States and Europe, any real i'm
prOvement in coping with the evil is not likely
to be ignored; but every new remedy must be
judged by its results. Now, no one is IN a bet
ter position TO put DIR. DOyens work in a favor
able light than the man himself and the sta
tistics which he is able to present can hardly
be called encouraging. Out of 216 cases which
be has treated he pretends-to have effected
cures IN only a. He pronOunces 12S of them
failures and the other 46 are still under obser-
walton.
A proposition was made to his hearers by DR.
DOyen which certainly ought to throw more
light on the subject. He asks to have his serum
tested, either in hospitals or private practice,
by other physicians, and the appointment of
committee to conduct the experiments has been
authorized. Perhaps his OWE claims, which are
extremely modest will be confirmed, aud per-
haps they will not. A somewhat similar trial
was given in England last winter to the anti
toxin of German specialist, DR. Otto Schmidt
one Of twenty nine cases in which his remedy
was employed the condition of the patient was
materially bettered. An English physician.
Johnson, had some faith in the serum, in con-
sequence Of watching two of these cases. but

three cases, and declared that it proved of no
service whatever. Schmidt was still further
