New Cancer Serum.

The results of the work of nearly a
year by physicians, surgeons and labor
atory staff of the General Memorial
hospital of New York, tending to show
the success Of a new cancer serum.
are expected to be published soon in
an official report of the medical board
OF the institution to announcements
made today. The report will contain
the name of the discoverer of the new
serum, its composition, the details OF
the preliminary laboratory work and
the individual medical histories Of the
patients so far treated in the hospital.
The announcements forecast this re-
port as one of the most important con-
tributions to science emanating from
the medical profession in this coun-
try. The serum is used by injection.
The cancerous growths break down,
disintegrate and disappear. 1t is as
serted.

the scale is first discovered might be

But men were MANY, anu SlleuS "SIc LulA'
for work in the town was slack
The traveller never got hands in wool,
though he tramped for year Out
Back.
In sitting moons when his back was
wrung by its load, and the air
seemed dead,
And the water warmed in the bag that
hung to his aching arms like lead,
Or in times of flood. when plains were
seas, and the scrubs were cold and
black,
He plowed in mud to his trembling knees,
and paid for his sins Out Back.
He blamed himself in the year TOO
Late"-in the heaviest hours Of life
Twas little he dreamed that a shearing-
mate had care of his home and wife;
There are times when wrongs from your
kindred come and treacherous
tongues attack,
When a man is better away from home,
and dead to the world, Out Back.
And dirty and careless and old he wore,
as his lamp of hope grew dim;
He tramped for years till the swag he
bore seemed part of himself to him.
AS a bullock drags in the sandy ruts, he
followed the dreary track,
With never a thought but to reach the
huts when the sun went down Out
Back.
1t CHANGED one day, when the north wind
blew in his face like a furnace
breath,
He left the track for a tank-he knew
twas a short cut to his death
For the bed of the tank was hard and
dry, and crossed with many crack.
And, OH it's terrible thing to die of
thirst in the scrub, Out Back.
A drover came, but the fringe of law was
eastward many mile:
He never reported the thing he saw, fol-
1t was not worth his while.
The tanks are full and the grass is high
in the mulga off the track,
Where the bleaching bones of a white
man lie by his molderlng swag Ou
Back.
For time means food and tramp they
must, where the plains and scrubs
are wide,
With seldom a track that man car
trust, or a mountain peak to guide
| All day long in the flies and heat the mer
of the outside track
| With stinted stomachs and blistered fee
must carry their sWags Out Back.
