Buffalo Doctor Believes Earth
worms Are Responsible.
They Are Eaten i'm Certain
Kinds of Vegetables.
HE HOPES TO CURE 1T
His Experiments Have SO Far
Been Successful.
Microscope Shows Parasites of
EarthWOrm and Cancer Same.

The Kansas state board of health
receive Il thousand and one fake dis
coveries and remedies every week from
all sections of the country. DR.. Crum-
] inc, the secretary, spots these
shams at a glance and throws them
into the waste basket without a Sec
ond thought But occasionally there
comes in the mail bona fidc story of
experiment or discovery in medicine or
surgery that represents many years of
-abor by some able and devoted physi-
clan and these are studied carefully
ard given due consideration.
DIR. Crumbine was today deeply i'm
dressed by a booklet sent out by DR..
II. B. Walker of Buffalo in which this
physician sets forth the claim that he
has discovered the origin of cancer
and expresses the belief that he has
found a cure for this incurable dis
ease
The Walker booklet is a wonderfully
interesting dissertation on the most
terrible disease with which humanity
has to contend. The Buffalo physician
read all the literature he could find
on the subject and worked for years
IN his laboratory before he ventured to
write about cancer. His conclusions in
brief are to the effect that cancer is
conveyed to the human system by
parasites from the earthworm and the
earthworm Is eaten in celery, cab
hage, lettuce, onions and similar vege-
tables. The earthworm thrives in low,
moist ground where these vegetables
ire raised with the best success.
DR.. Crumbine does not endorse all
the claims of the Buffalo physician.
He has not studied them thoroughly
enough yet, but he admits that he is
deeply impressed by the findings of the
specialist. In the booklet are repro

f-tes from the earthworm and the
PARASITES from cancer. They are
Identical.
The subject of cancer is always of
deep interest and any reliable in
formation or practical discoveries that
/ ear upon it should be given serious
consideration. The following extracts
from DR.. Walkers booklet are there
fore printed for just what they are
worth:
The subject of cancer and sar-
coma is one of the greatest impor-
lance to mankind. Thousands die
each year, a lingering, cruel death,
from the ravages of these enemies,
whose origin has hitherto been un-
known.
1T seemed great undertaking to
attempt to wrest from nature this Sc
cret, which has so long been sought
after by every method which science
and the most learned men could de-
wise.
Cause of Cancer.
In thirty-fve years of active prac-
tice in western New York have
treated many of these cases for
which scarcely hope remained, when
the nature of the maladv became
known. Statistics show that it is in
creasing rapidly, but, heretofore, we
could give no reason for its greater
prevalence. 1 never gave any atten-
ton to the manner in which these dis

this investigation about the 1st of
June, 1901
After giving the details of his ex
periments with earthworms the doc
tor finds that:
AN earthworm thrown on dry salt
ceased to move in somewhat less than
three minutes.
THAT malignant diseases are cans
ed by different species of parasites
heretofore unknown and belonging
probably to the sporozoa.
THAT man and the herbfvorous
animals contract malignant disease by
eating these infected vegetables.
Believes He Has Found a Cure.
After long series of experiments
upon the parasites in the earthworm
with different compounds, 1 finally
discovered preparation which read
lily kills these parasites, as demon
strated under the microscope, and
can be taken by persons without in

blood when taken internally. Exper-
1ments arc now being made on 1856
persons suffering with cancer and
sarcoma and they show the curative
enects OF this remedy in many of
these cases. Cancerous tumors of
years standing, are passing away. the
sharp, lancinating pains are disap-
pearlng; the sleep is improving. and
this general health is much be+tar
Not one of the cases applying for
treatment, even the most homeless
mas been refused. AS a CONSEQUENCE
of this number of deaths have oc-
Cured, some within forty-eieht hours
others at a longer period after he
ginning the use of the medicine. Sev-
eral OF these were from comnI;ca
tions which arose during the progress
