GILMAN CANCER CURE.
Now Treatment Of Disease Appears to
BE Successful.

Now Treatment of Disease Appears to
Be Successful.
The new cancer cure developed by
DIR. P. X. Gilman, the chief surgeon
at the government hospital at Manila,
has apparently proved successful with
ali patients on whom it has been tried,
and experiments are to be made with
1t at Johns Hopkins hospital. Dr.. Gil
man has been experimenting for more
than nine years with his process. 1t
is briefly as follows: The patient is
operated upon. and rs much as possi-
BILE of the infected portion is removed.
The wound is thoroughly cleaned, and
the substance removed by the opera
ton is put through a special process.
It is ground up, heated, various drugs
are added. the whole is subjected to
q very high pressure, and while in this
state the vaccine is extracted. This is
in turn injected into the blood vessels
of the patient, and In most cases three
treatments Of the same nature, but
administered at intervals of two weeks,
are required. In short. the operation
consists simply in injecting into the
blood. of the patient vaccine from the
very cancerous growth from which he
suffers. Three days are required in
most cases for a reaction. and during
this time the temperature of the pa
tient increases until it reaches 104
degrees.
In about three days the action Of the
serum becomes localized in the vicini-
ty Of the cancer and the tissues begin
to heal, while a more healthy. condi-
ton becomes apparent. After a con-
valescent period Of several months the
patients whom DR.. Gilman has treat
ed have been pronounced well. and in
no instance has there been a recur-
renee of the trouble. This establishes
the fact, therefore, that in the early
history of the cases, after the opera
ton has been performed and the in
lection made. the cure is efficacious.

Crossing Sheep Breeds.

The cross Of any Of the down breeds
on western Merino ewes will result eX-
ceedingly well. The cross with the Ok
ford will give large lambs, well wooded.
To go back again to Rambouillet blood
will be all right If the grower cares
more for wool and mutton than for
mutton and wool. Experience shows
that the more pastures there are the
better the sheep will thrive.

Why Ferrer Is Martyr.


New York Times.-Nnar IS the
reason why such men as Maeter-
linck, Haeekel, Anatole France ana
Kropotkin have worked themselves
up into such frenzy of Indignation
over the death OF Ferrer? Why are
the scientists, the men or learning,
the cultured class generally, leaders
in movement OF protest which ex-
tends. downward from them to the
humblest classes? Why is it that
the thrones of Spain is shaken over
the execution of one man?
1t is partly because of the disre-
gard of the simplest forms of JUS
tice which Spain has shown in XIII
ing Ferrer virtually without trial; 1t
is partly because of the sympathy 81
cultured men and with the man VINO
has done more than anyone else to
introduce modern education into be-
nighted Spain; it is chiefly due to
feeling that it is because OF these
efforts of his for modern education,
and not because of any anarchistlc
doctrines he may have protested.
that Ferrer has been done to death.
In Spain education is such that the
middle ages would have prescribed.
Efforts TO bring in a more modern
system have failed-Iailed, at least,
until Ferrer made them successful
But in making these efforts success

that when Ferrer died his last words
