Or. Edwards, we'll known physician

mixed with olive oil to act on the liver
and bowels, which he gave to his
patients for years.

that. in order to prevent the well
known Mr.. Lion. Mr.. Wolfe and Mr.
Drake from getting telephone ear and
hoarseness in confahs with credulous
inquisitors, the telephone company
assigned special operators to ask
folks If they were calling the Zoo
before plugging the calls through.

IS0LATES GERM
Organism Causing Cancer
Found - May Be Able To
Immunize, Physician Says

Philadelphia. July 10.-Dr. T. j.
Glover of Toronto, speaking last
night before the Philadelphia Clin-
ical Association and the Clinical
Society Of the National Stomach
Hospital, said he had isolated the
organism which caused cancer, told
of successful tests and said he hoped
to be able to immunize human be-
ings.
According to DR.. Glover, the can
Ger organism is bacillus. occurr-
ing singly, in pairs or in chains Of
three or more. He has been able to
isolate it from every type of hu-
man tissue and grow it in special
media, using it to produce cancer
in animals and to develop an anti
toxin from young, healthy horses.
Drs. M. T. Warmth and James
I. Donnelly of Philadelphia told of
their experiences with the serum. In
extreme cases, they declared, little
could be expected of the serum as
it was not a cure byt treatment.
Up to May first 1924, they said,
81 humans had been treated. OF
these 25 died, four showed no i'm
provement, 38 were improving and II
were free from all symptoms of the
disease, some for as long as year
and half. A number of Philadel-
phia physicians and scientists eau
toned against hasty acceptance of
the serum as a permanent remedy.
