BATTLE AGAINST DISEASES.

A report from Cleveland has it that
the dread disease cancer may be over
come nv new treatment. DIR. Grille
of that city IS said to have made re-
heated experiments on animals ana
found that the principle of immuhlz-
ing the cancer victim against recur-
renee of the malady. once the active
turnor Is excised. Is practicable. DR..
Grille does not make definite promises.
He says that sixteen months nave
ELAPSED since the operations were per-
formed on the immunized patients
and while there is no sign OF return
OF the mslady he is not willing to go
on record as having accomplished
success until three years snail have
passed
Hope is also held out to sufferers
from tuberculosis, in a report from
Vienna. A Swiss scientist announces
that incubation OF animals for that
disease has proved successful. The
process, as given in the dispatches Is
this: One milligram of tuberculosis
haclli is placed in a laced sack. the
cover of which Is made OF reed. The
whole is then inclosed in gelatin
capsule and sewn under the skin OF
the animal 1t acts on the membrane
and absorbs tho fluids Of the body
which cause the bacilli to multiply at
first. but to perish later In from ten
to eighteen months the reed cover
can be withdrawn, when the bacilli
win be found TO have persisted. The
animal is then. 1t Is said, perfectly
immune from tuberculosis. The con-
clusion is that some such method may
be found efficient as a protection of
man from the same disease.

 Truly the word great is no misnomer when applied to this magician. One expected to see old tricks with some new ones. They were disappointed.
