NEW TREATMENT or CANCERS.

leans, recently read a paper before the
American Electro Tlierapeutic Asso-
citation, in St Louis. on the treatment
of cancer by a new process.
Abe Doctor first spoke Of the great
| Importance of the subject. because
there is no doubt that cancer 10 on the
| increase. both in the United States
and in Europe. He thought that
cancer was due to II germ. and that it
would not he long before the germ
was discovered This germ, after 1t
enters the body, begins at once to form
cancer. or eating ulcer, and sends
roots into the inside from all around
the cancer These roots continue to
grow until finally they get to the veins,
and from there into the blood. Once
in the blood the disease becomes gen
eral, and there is no cure for it, 1t
is clear, as the Doctor points out, that
a cancer should be treated before it
gets into the blood of the patient, and
the earlier the better, because it is
easier to kill the roots then than later,
when they grow longer and more nu-
merous. And the treatment should
not only destroy the cancer, but it
should destroy its roots also.
The failure of the knife operation
is due to the fact that they cut out the
cancer well enough, but do not remove
the roots, and that Is the reason why,
when the cancer returns, it always
comes back in or near the scar left
after the operation. He is convinced
that the Cataphofic treatment which he
employs, is the surest and safest cure
for cancer. Ii is much less dangerous
than the knife and does not leave such
wounds, and is much more
reliable than the x ray and can be
applied to localities which cannot be
reached by the x ray.
The method is bloodless. This
means everything to old or weak
patients, and as il is usually done
nnder chloroform or either, it is pain
less. When the patient wakes up,
after this bloodless operation, the can
,er and the roots are dead and chang
I'd into dirty gray mass, which drops
,ut in from two to four weeks, leay
ng hole, which heals very fast II
he cancer as is usually the case, was
painful or had bad odor, the pain
md odor are absent after the opera
ion.
The Caraphoric treatment is q
electrical treatment, but although
Electricity is the principal agent, it is
lot the only agent.
An instrument made of a special
is connected with an cleo
rio current and inserted into the can

. the instrument and forms new and
,owerful medicine right in the can
er. As the current continues to flow,
'assing through the cancer and its
cots to traverse the body, 1t takes up
nd carries along with II this power
ul medicine, which as it passes
Trough the cancer and its roots, kills
hem, and changse them into dirty
ray mass.
DIR. Granger divided his cases into ,
hree classes in tabulating his report. ,
First Class--Those in which the
cots had not reached any glands. Il

cots were very numerous and deep, ,
