PARIS, March 9-Thirty three cases
Of cancer. of varying degrees Of ma
ugnancy, have, It is asserted, been
wholly or partly cured by the well
known Paris physician, DR.. Saubes Dug
ers, as the result of a treatment discov-
cred by him and made public this week.
The method by which he combats one
Of the most terrible scourges known to
humanity consists Of simultaneous in
jections Of colloid of copper hydrate per-
oxide. introduced into the system at in
tervals varying from four days to a
week The effect is said to be to ar
rest promptly the further development
Of the growth and eventually cause the
bacilli which have an injurious influence
on the body to disappear.
In his statement, issued this week,
which made q great stir among the med
ical faculty and the general public, DIR.
Dugers recounts his long and fruitless
attempts, extending over several years,
to discover a drug which would produce

fects to health.
What Led to Discovery.
II was led" he says, "to adopt cop

useful in treating this disease the ele-

Il had come to the conclusion that
colloid OF copper would be the sovereign
remedy against cancer. in spite Of the

paralysis Of the action of the subrena
glands. two minute organs just undel

NOW beginning to be understood. These
glands supply, 1t is stated, certain secre

and IL their action be arrested Tor only
