that Sunday requires Protestant

that the expense would be very heavy.
But there was also discussion as to
Sundays preachings and as TO his mo-

Hungarian Chemists in Passaic
N. j., Declare Also They Have
Conquered tuberculosis.
REMEDY MADE FROM HERBS
Postmaster Mahony and Congress-
man Bremner, Patients, Express
Confidence in Treatment.

NEW YORK, July 12.-Daniel o.
Dance and Alexander Horovitz, Hun
garian chemists who have been treat
ing with their new cancer remedy
Congressman Robert Bremner and
Postmaster d. W. Mahony, of Pas
sale, announced yesterday that they
had discovered a positive cure for
both tuberculosis and cancer.
These two men, whose efforts to
save Mr.. Mahony and Congressman
Bremner have aroused much interest
in the medical profession, came to
America two months ago, going at
once to the residence of Charles A.
Biczak, at 220 Third Street, Pas
sale.
Thinks He Is Recovering.
Il heard of these men through nv
friend Bleak and decided to try their
treatment" said Postmaster Mahony
yesterday in st. Mary's Hospital. 81
had received no benefit by the treat
ment from my physicians. / gained
their consent to allow these men to
treat me and now l feel / am well
on the road to recovery"
Mr.. Mahonys optimistic view was
shared by DR.. r. N MacGuffie, house
surgeon at st. Marys Hospital.
Mr.. Mahony's condition was criti-
cal until two weeks ago, when this
treatment was applied" said DR.. Mac
Cutie.
Congressman Bremner, who for
only one week has been undergoing
this treatment, feels much better, too
it was said at his residence.
One of the patients whose physi-
clan has allowed the application of
the cure for tuberculosis, is Seward
Wright, of ia Second Avenue,
Paterson. Last week he received his
first treatment and now he is conf
dent that in four weeks ne viii be well.
Herb Medicine Used.
The treatment for both cancer and
tuberculosis is the administration,
both internally and externally, of
medicines derived from herbs.
The cures are distinct, even the
method of administration being to-
tally different.
The two young men worked side by
side for ten years, both at the Gym
nasium and at the Royal University
in Budapest. Mr.. Horovitz is the ex-
pert on cancer and Mr.. Dance has
made speciality of tuberculosis.
Our treatment for cancer" said
Mr. Horovitz, consists of the ad-
ministration of brown pills from sew
eral herbs. There is a liquid wash,
also made of herbs. Besides these,
there is a compound made from some
twenty different herbs, applied to the
cancer by poultices."
Experimental on Animals.
For five years we studied and ex-
perimented on animals before we
learned of the compounds" said Mr..
Dance. Then we applied our dis
coveries, first to animals and then to
patients in Hungary. We began our
experiments because of a deep inter
est in botany. In fact, many of our
herbs were discovered by the simple
process of watching animals.
For instance, l would take two
swine to the woods. One would be
well and one sick. I would watch
closely, seeing what herbs they would
eat Instinct seemed to direct them
and by experiments later l learned
exactly what herbs were necessary to
cure certain ailments"
