DR.. Ordway Describes Success

LONDON. July 29.-There was an i'm
portant conference on board the steamship
Mauretania on Sunday OF American
PHYSICIANS who are 20 attend the inter-
national medical congress at London.
These physicians are authorities in their
respective specialties. There was "A very
interesting discussion OF the experimental |
work OF the Coils y. Huntington Cancer
Research Hospital at Harvard
DR.. Thomas Ordway. at the urgent re-
quest OF his colleagues. outlined these ex-
periments and among other things an
nounced that II had been established

waltzing mouse that metastasis, or trans
mission Of cancer TO other parts from the
original growth. occurs almost uniformly
on the thirty ninth day. The Japanese
mouse cancer can be inoculsted In all
Inbred Japanese mice. When the mice are
orossbred with white mice the first or
spring continues TO be liable to incubation
with cancer. but all other descendants are
immune. This proves the complete i'm
munity OF the crossbred animals. The
Mendelian law Of the transmission Of
colors and other physical characteristics
Is distinctly manifested in all crossbred
mice. but II IA found impossible to re-
establish their susceptibility TO cancer
Dr. John - Murphy. the Chicago sur
geon. who Is an authority on cancer, said
he regarded Dr. Ordway's experiments as
showing the first ray OF precise infornla-
tion Of any cancer research laboratory.
Dr. Murphy added:
They are astonishing. revolutionizing
and hope inSpirin& This is the first time
that the exact date OF any cancer metas-
tasis has been determined. and DR.. Ord

are inbred. while the offspring Of the cross
breed are immune. offers one avenue
OF escape from cancer II It can be applied

Other physicians who participated I'm
the discussion agreed with DIR. Murphy
that the establishment of a definite time

of immunity by crossbrceding are most
promising advances in the EXPERIMENTAL
cancer problem.
