NO CANCER CURE FOUND.
DR.. Bulls Physician Holds Ont No
Hope of Permanent Ameli0rati0n.

The new method OF treating cancer. which has
been used fer several weeks in the OF DR.. W.

ments conducted by Professor James Ewing and
Dr. S. p. Beebe the Cornell medical laboratories
18th street and First While 1t is ASSERT ed
by Dr. Joseph A. Blake. DR.. Bulls chief physician
that there has been no Improvement in DR. Bulls
disease, It reported yesterday that Il cure for
cancer had been found.
DR.. Blake said last night to Tribune reporter
that q cure had not been discovered, and that in
his opinion the injection Of the serum prepared by
Professor Ewing from the thyroid glands OF ami
mails would not prove 10 be in any case a cure for
cancer. The work that Professor Ewing and his
assistants have been doing at the Cornell labora-
tories Is OF immense value medical science" said
DR. Blake so far however the clinical men are
far ahead of the laboratory workers for no relief
from cancer has been discovered except that from
surgical operation.
II have very little faith IN the treatment that
has been used on DR.. Bull, and 1 would not recon
mend IL to any one. DIR. Bulls local condition has
not been improved despite reports TO the contrary.
What has been greatly improved is his general con-
diton. OF course what have been trying TO do
has been to stop the growth OF the cancer This
has not been done If II could be done ana the
cancerous growth gradually destroyed. then we
could say We had discovered a cure for cancer"
DIR. Blake said he regretted very much that
report Of a cancer cure had been spread broad
cast for he said 1t had no foundation in fact and
the treatment. in his opinion held out no
bright hopes.
Il have had letters from all oyer the country
asking about the new cancer cure" said DR.
Blake. 1T is unfortunate that these people should
receive such impression for they are doomed 10

method of treatment by injecting serum said To .,

used IN Or. Bulls case. As TO It's results | am m

many different kinds OF cancer that cure In one
case did not mean In another
DIR. Walker. who will accompany DR. and Mrs
Bull to Savannah said last night that he had nor

OF the serum treatment. Or Bull is going South
