WHITE RATS AID.
STUDY OF CANCERS
Parasites on Rodents Found
To Develop Virulent
TumOrs.

NEW YORK, Oct. 3l-A most i'm
portant contribution to cancer re-
search has just been made known
by Or. Francis Carter Wood. dirsc-
tor of the Columbia University In
stitute of Cancer Research, endowed
by George Croker, in a report to
President Nicholas Murray Butler.
Cancer has been produced ARTIFICIAL
ly in rats, large numbers of which
are constantly used in Columbia's
work of cancer research. Two
workers in the Columbia laborato-
ries, DR.. Frederick d. Bullock and
Miss NJ. r. Curtis, PHI. D., have
made the. discovery, which is eX-
pected TO prove OF great value in
seeking a cure for the dread dis
ease.
After I'VE years Of hard work"
says DR.. Wood, "Drs. Bullock and
Curtis have finally shown that if
white rats be infested with the
eggs of a certain parasite and kept
for a perod of not less than eight
months, tumors will develop about
areas in which the parasites are
present. and that these tumors are
virulent cancers which rapidly kill
the animals in which they started
and can easily be transplanted to
others.
The best known of the types
of cancer is the chimney-sweep's
cancer, which develops to such an
extent in England that laws were
passed regulating the conditions
under which chimney sweeping
could be done. 1t has been known
that il is possible to obtain cancer
in animals by several other
methods, in breeding cancerous
strains, painting the skin of an
animal with tar and by feeding
rats on certain parasites. The ac-
tual percentage of production, how
ever nv all these methods is small.
