ALLEGED CURE
FOR CANCER.

Members of the Medical Society o.!
New Jersey are discussing with in
terest an announcement by DR.. W.
Homer AFFORD that a new treatment
for inoperable cancer has been test
ted. apparently with success, in the
Polytechnic Hospital, New York, with
which he is connected. The treat
ment it is said, was discovered tive
years ago by DR.. Alexandria Hor"-
vitz, of Cornell University.
Dr.. AFFORD asserted in an address
at Spring Lake Wednesday that en-
periments indicated that curative
agent had been found for cancerous
growths and all abnormal cell deve'-
opments. He said the treatment had
been applied in the Polytechnic Hospi-
tai only in so-called incurable cases,
and that Of 200 patients treated only
one died. Experiments first were
made III cases Of chest cancer. but
abdominal cancer eases have shown
Improvement.
The treatment was described as the
injection of an extract of vegetable
origin. DR.. AFFORD said many months
would be required to complete the
investigation of the new treatment.
1t was shown some time ago by
statistics that about as many per-
sons in the United States fight can
Ger as consumption, This terrible
malady has been raging among the
human race from time immemorial,
and in this day it seems to be stead
lily growing. Many live i'll dread OF
the disease, and the appearance OF a
suspicious pimple, causes dread 70
many until doctor pronounces it
benign.
Physicians have from time to time
believed they have found means q
checking these growths, but, so Tar
the disease has defed mankind
Hence all reports to the effect that
cancer remedies have been found are
read with interest.
