CANCER MAY HAVE
CAUSED THE TROUBLE

william S. Martin, aged 67 years,
OF No. 51S South Heald street after
staving OF death by starvation for
more than year, has at last tasted
food and physicians at the American
stomach Hospital, Fifteenth and Wal
lace streets, Philadelphia, where he
is a patient, assert that Mr.. Martin
will be able to swallow hard food
within a short time. Mr.. Martin, who
had been employed at the Lobdell Car
Wheel Works for more than thirty
years was stricken in most peculiar
manner about a year ago while sitting
at the supper table with his family
Martin began to vomit and a physician
was hastily summoned.
The physician could assign no rea-
son for Mr. Martins condition, and
while he experienced no pain Mr.. Mar
tin could not get food into his stom-
ach. This condition existed for days
and at times the desire for food was
almost unbearable. Mr.. Martin could
at first swallow liquids, but in time
even this proved to cause vomiting.
In despair Mr.. Martin went to local
hospitals and the physicians there ac-
cording to his family could give no
relief or state the cause OF his condl-
ton.
After subsisting for three months on
milk and liquors. Mr. Martin, who was
compelled to cease work, went to Phila-
delphia. where his daughter. Mrs.
Thomas Minister. lives. While there MI
Martin met a contractor, who urged him
to 90 to the American Stomach Hospital
where the X-ray was used. The devel-
oped plate showed small growth at the
entrance of Mr.. Martins stomach, but
that was all the medical authorities
could say. What caused it or how u
remove it puzzled them.
Several Of the physicians said that u
was a cancer. but Mr. Martin contendeo
that if 1t was he would experience pam

was a feeling like unto starvation hl'
