or into the system. With the whoie
body flooded with n liquid capable OF
lUorescence it will readily be seen that

man has cancer Of the nose the rays

rays would act directly upon the NOR

1T is probable that a treatment may
be evolved from this method that will
cure tuberculosis. 1t is certain that it
will cure cancer and chronic malaria,

ment.
1T is practically useless TO speculate
as 10 what the fluorescent discharge
does to the living tissues, and there
! still remains TO decide how this affects
the cancer growth This knowledge
can never be reached until we know
what cancer is, and we are still utterly
ignorant of its nature. The most rea-
sonable theory as TO its mode of action
is that mild leucocytosis is estab-
lished, with consequent ability Of the
living tissue to cope with and conQue.
