| head Of the German Hospital in this city
and professor Of surgery at Columbip
University. Tho surgeon was beaming
with happiness, inspired. he said. by a
discovery of cure for cancer He
talked freely about the serum which he
| case that has so long baffled medical
science.
Or. Kllianl said he had been abroad
about six weeks. most Of the time as the
guest of Professor DR. Won Wassermann,
of the Royal Institute for Infectious
Diseases at Berlin. The Berlin scien-
tist. he said. had been experimenting
with cancer cure for about year, us
ing animals as subjects. DR.. Kiliani said
he would apply the new serum to the
treatment Gf human beings within
twelve months. He brought specimens
OF the cure and many colored plates
showing the process Of cure.
DR.. Kiliani calls the discovery Eosin-
Selen. The unusual Idea in this cure
said the surgeon lis that Eosin Is
carrier which reaches only the diseased
tissue. bur does not act beyond that. by
combining with this carrier the cure 'or
Selen). the diseased tissue Is healed
without running any risk Of poisoning
the rest Of the body"
DIR. Klliani said that In spite OF the
success with which his experiments had
met. the cure would not come up to pub
lie expectations. He explained this by
saving that the public always expected a
new cancer serum to cure as soon as IL
was applied to the diseased tissue. he
said that Il will still be necessary 10
operate but that after the operation the
serum must be applied. This. he SAID
prevents q recurrence Of cancer.

discovery will he had in Montreal, at
the convention of the American Surgical
Association.
