illus taken from beef and passed
through guinea pigs, it was observed
that the serum taken back from the
pigs and inoculated into an OK produced
a nonfatal disease. This Identical
method is followed to a higher degree
of development in vaccination of per-
sons against smallpox and other dis
eases. Doctor Gilman has been con-
Quoting experiments on dogs and other
animals until such time as he dared to
venture with persons afflicted with the
cancer disease. Success finally at
tending his efforts, he is convinced that
cancer has lost its terrors for the hu-
man family Pasteur worked along the
same line. and Gilman modestly insists
that he is but following in the foot
steps of the great teachers of his pro-
fession.
is ITS OWN REMEDY
The result of the experiments demon
strates that a cure can be effected
where pure cancer vaccine can be Sc
cured from the patient himself In
fact, vaccine can be taken from one pa
tlent and injected into another and a
cure erected. but a pathological and
meteorological test must first be made

into the entire blood system of the
patient the other bacilli and positively

these reasons the process is surrounded
with exceptional asceptic conditions.

application to cancer cases | have
been experimenting for a number of
years, and feel convinced that a cure
for cancer has been discovered How
ever. the process must be submitted
to tests. The history of cancer pa
tients treated with the serum must be
officially recorded. When 1 am sup

men, then | shall be in a position to
say something regarding the treat
ment The thing we are now going for
is record of permanency. With that
established the cure will have been
demonstrated"
DOCTORS ARE CONVINCED
Doctor Coffey. associated with Doc
tor Ainsworth at the Southern Pacific
the operations, was frank in his decla-
ration that Gilman had made a re-
markable discovery. II have no doubt
that cure has been found for cancer
Doctor Gilman has the records of
number of cases and has now under
taken demonstration here for the
benefit fthe medical and surgical
world. The process is simplicity itself
and one We are all familiar with. II
is merely form of vaccination with
serum prepared from vaccine taken
fro mthe patient. The operation is
merely an injection. There is nothing
complicated or serious in the opera
ton. The most important thing Is
preparing the serum. Doctor Gilman
is as careful in this as though he were
conducting capital operation, for
this part of the process must be abso-
lutely asceptic, else all is of no avail
The doctor has been flooded with
requests and petitions for operations
but he leaves shortly for Johns Hon
kins university, where he will place
his process in the hands of the univer
sity authorities. He has demonstrated
it to US here and explained in. the oper-
ating room evcry detail of the opera
ton. He has generously given to the
world a great discovery which will
place him in the front rank of sur
geons should his cases produce the his
tory he claims for them. 1t takes time
to demonstrate a permanent cure"
This morning at 10 o'clock another
demonstration will be conducted by DIR.
