LIVERPOOL SURGEON NOW SEES
SOLUTION OF CANCER PROBLEM
AFTER II YEARS OF RESEARCH

able to the United Press.
DR.. Bell believes there is no spe-
cific cause Of cancer, but hundreds
Of causes.
"It is the cancer itself that is a
specific growth process,' he said.
Lead, in a colloidal preparation
(the metallic lead, not in solution,
but in fine particles suspended in a
lquid) is injected into the blood Of
patient.
Cells Attract Lead
Ace eording to DR.. Bell, cells Of the
cancerous tissue attract the lead
which exerts a destructive force, in
many cases not only completely
checking further development Of
the cancer, but absorbing the mass.
An advantage lead has over rad
ium and x-ray treatment, the sur
geon says, is that the lead reaches
all parts Of the body and therefore
is general in effect, checking can
cerous growths in other parts Of the
body.
Discovery that among chemists,
plumbers and other workers using
lead, cancer was q rare disease, was
one of the considerations which
prompted him to use that metal in
treatments, DR.. Bell said.

PREDICTS ACTION
in CONGRESS TO
ABATE DRY LAWS

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. a.
That modification of the Nolstead
Act to permit the manufacture and
sale of light wines and beer
throughout the United States will
be made in the next session of cong
ress was the prediction made here
today by Congressman John Philip
Hill, of Maryland, in talk before a
big luncheon gathering of San Fran
cisco leaders in the modification
movement. Congressman Hill, who
is the recognized leader of the
modification forces in congress, is in
California this week to talk at n
series Of modification rallies rs a
feature of Modification Jubilee
week" being sponsored by the as
sociation against the prohibition
amendment.
The militant congressman de-
nounced the prohibition enforcement
law rs fundamentally crooked and
fundamentally idiotic.' - 1t is
crooked ne declared, because Zone
class of people may make II per
cent wine legally, while another
class cannot make one per cent
beer legally 1t is idiotic, he
maintained, ,'beeause it permits
YOU and me TO make inferior wine,
but prohibits us from buving the
same wine from experts. -
Hill delighted his audience with
o laughable narration of the sensa-
tional fight he waged to get def
inition of what constituted lntoxi-
eating fight liquor. and of his vic
torious court battle in n test ease
involving his right to manufao-
ture his own alcoholic fruit juices in
his own home.
Congressman Hill urged the peo-
pie to support the association
against the prohibition amendment
and to write to their congressman
asking them to back the modifica-
tion movement.
"Therc are 435 men in the house
of representatives., he said, land
/ know that not 80 of them will
vote against modification if they
know YOU are behind them. y

ether speaker, was greeted with
wild applause when he denounced
