The experiments on which this pre-

Polytechnic hospitals II this city. The

Recommended With Reserve.
Or. Beebe. in his article. recalls the
ultimate failure OF other widely her
aided cures for cancer and says that
because Of this he writes with great
reserve. First he details three cases Of
superficial cancer treated outside the
hospital. One OF six years standing.
healed completely In six weeks a sec
ond, which had been retarded by ex-
posture to X-rays. healed In ten weeks
and remains healed and a third. OF
eleven years standing, healed in six
weeks and remained healed.
The second group was treated at the
General Memorial Hospital. II included
several Of the worst recurrent and in
operable cases. Most of the patients
died-some OF hemorrhages and others
as the result OF denudation Of large
blood vessels. All OF these cases had
been treated with other remedies be-
sides that devised by DIR. Horovltz. The
sufferings OF these patients was greatly
relieved by the treatment and the tumor
mass receded In size.
The Polytechnic cases we're treated en-
tirsly by DIR. Horovitz's treatment. They
included patients with malignant sar-
coma, beginning In an operative scar
on the back caused by the removal OF a
kidney, inoperable carcinoma OF the
breast, and carcinoma of the bladder.
In one case the patient died of Bright's
disease. The others recovered.
DIR. Beebe and DIR. Beveridge are not
making positive statements as to the
remedy, but they say that 1t has proved
to be OF some value In treating in
operable cancer. and nat time will show
whether 1t really cures.
Arrangements for Thorough Trial.
Arrangements have already been made
for q general distribution of the liquid
extract. $. NJ. Noyes, treasurer OF the
Wheeling Steel Casting Company OF
Wheeling. w. Va, will open ain Office at
! West Thirty-eighth street, probably
next week. in which will be supervised
the distribution OF the extract. Mr..
Noyes is interested in this work only
for the good 1t may do. Three of the
largest hospitals in the city will be the
centres of this treatment here, and DR..
BeeDe and DIR. Beveridge will instruct
physicians in the use of the extract.
Other hospitals in large cities will be
supplied with the extract for free treat
