SCIENTISTS TAKE
UP HOROWITZ'S
CANCER SERUM
Leading New York Practiction-
ers Surprised by Results
Achieved by Passaic Man.
TREATMENT LIKELY TO
SUPERCEDE RADIUM
official Report Is Awaited.
Treatment Stands Test on
Inoperable Cases.

The Medical Board of the General
Memorial Hospital at Central Park
West and 106th street. New York, ex-
poets to announce shortly new pro-
ceuure III cancer by an injected
seri'''7 which has stood the test in
inoperable cases. Several physicians,
suI SClIs anu laboratory workers Of
international reputation who have
been at work on the discovery for a
year believe that sufficient number OF
patients have shown beneficial results
from its use to warrant the belief
that the serum is of permanent value.
1t is their opinion that the serum
will permanently replace radium and
the X-ray. Some believe that the
use of radium is followed by a re-
currence of cancers of more malig-
nant tendency than the original
growth. hut none of those who have
experimental with the serum have
ODa1. , -. any 1Iesh outbreaks after
the original growth has been disin-
tegrated.
The medical board of the General
Memorial Hospital is composed of the
following physicians and surgeons:
DR.. James Ewing. professor of path
ology, Cornell Medical College, chair
man; DR.. William B. Coley, professor
of clinical surgery, Cornell: DR.. Will
lam Downes. surgeon to St. Luke's
Hospital; DR.. e. L. Keyes. ir., pro-
fessor, Cornell; DIR. H. H. Janeway,
DR.. s. T.. Beebe, professor of expert
mental therapeutics, Cornell, and
DIR. Richard We'll, assistant profess
sor of experimental therapeutics,
Cornell.
1t is known that Alexander 8
Horowitz, of Pasa c, the cancer spe-
clalist who treated the late Con-
gresham Robert G.. Bremner, Of
Passaic, has been cooperating with
the physicians attached to the Cor
nell medical faculty and the medical
board of the General Memorial Hos
pital. Mr.. Horowitz opposed the
radium treatment being administered
to Congressman Bremner and pre-
dicted that Mr.. Bremner had not the
physical strength to accept it's appli-
cation. 1t is expected that when the
official report of the medical board
of the cancer hospital is made pub
lie and the discol erer of the cancer
serum is announced that cred for
the laboratory work will be given to
Mr.. Horowitz. The doctor prior to
his entrance TO the cancer hospital
treated under the direction OF doc
tors several patients in Newark and
the Oranges
Mr. Horowitz came TO this country
in June, 1918, from Budapest. Hun
gary, after having attended several
of the most noted colleg ate institu-
tions of Austria. He is not a graduate
physician.
Cooperating with the attending
physician his first work in this coun-
try was attempted in Passa-c, where
he treated the late Postmaster Dem
mis- Mahoney and Congressman Brem-
mere
Both of these cases being regarded
as hopeless and beyond cure, 1t Is said
by intimate friends of the postmaster
and congressman that Mr., Horowitz
Immediately relieved the patients
from the intense suffering that had
prevailed with the dreaded disease
with which they were afflicted.
In the Bremner case the patient
showed a continuous response to the
Horowitz system of treatment, the
abnormal growth being greatly re-
duced. During the course of treat
ment the patients friends in Con-
gress were much impressed with re-
ports of radium's curative powers.
Mr.. Bremner yielded to their en-
treaties to undergo the radlum treat
ment and entered sanatorium. He
died there about a year ago.
