CANCER CURE is
INVESTIGATED BY
u. s. SCIENTISTS
Electric Current Use
May Be Success

WASHINGTON, Nov. Fl. - Cancer
cure by exposure of the patient to
extremely high frequency electrical
currents is under investigation by the
United States public Health service,
DR.. CSC. Pierce acting surgeon gen.
eral, announced today.
The method, while not officially ap-
proved by Surgeon General Hugh s.
Cumming, is believed by medical
scientists to offer real possibilities
and may be the method for which sur
geons have CROPPED for years.
Referring to the reported anti-toxin
cure evolved by Or. T. j. Glover, Of
New York, who announced isolation
Of the germs, and accepted by some
leading authorities, Pierce declared
that surgery, radium and x-rays are
the only forms OF treatment SO far
justified by experience and obserya-
ton. The Glover method has been
investigated but according to Pierce,
does not yet have the sanction Of the
public health service.
| Experiment WIN Animals.
Pioneering in virtually UNEMPLOYED
field. Schereschewsky is exposing
white mice and other small animals,
afflicted with cancer, to frequency
currents from 100000 to 6O,OOO,OO
| cycles per second.
Symptoms, which produced death at
long exposure, were discovered, but
with proper application OF the cur
rents, important results were obtained
in killing cancerous conditions.
Will Attempt Cures.
A long series of tests will be con-
cluded with animals and later human
beings The method would not be ap-
proved unless actual human cures in
high percentage Of the tests made,
were accomplished.
SHOULD this or any other method of
cancer cure be discovered in the Sche-
reschewsky investigation the results
would be made public for the general
good" Pierce said.
High frequency currents have been
hppttCu " SCI oAluAh pAaALSt 0AAANbON
by .tumors caused by incubation. In
report on these tests 1t was shown
that the diseased plants were exposed
to radiations emitted by a vacuum
tube oscillator at frequency of about
10000 cycles per second
Tested on Plants.
After an intermittent exposure last
ing over 16 days the plant tumors died
and were easily removed, effecting, ap-
parently, a permanent cure. Where
similarly diseased geraniums were
treated by surgery the tumors recur-
red and grew to enormous sizes.
II the same success can be accom-
plished by applying the process to
animal life, medical scientists believe
that an actual cure for cancer may be
obtained.
Is Treat Menace
Reports show that the death rate
from cancer is from rs to 80 per cent
greater than 81 years ago" Pierce
said Census figures indicate that
one out of every ten adults living in
the United States is destined to die
Of cancer. Between the ages of 40
and s. one out Of every five deaths
among women, is due to this disease,
which Is a greater menace to adult
life than tuberculosis"

the left wing. The niceties of polite
expression that usually characLeIizes
the editorial style of The Advance is
IN this editorial abandoned. Evidently
the administration in control Of the

The occasion for the abusive edito-

Amalgamated section of the National
Committee of the Needle Trades sec
ton of the T. U. e. l.. in Central
Opera House, New York City, Nov. G..
The meeting was called on behalf OF
the striking cloakmakers and to pro-
test against the Amalgamated Official
dom, who were neglecting to mobilize
sufficiently the Amalgamated for the
relief of the striking cloakmakers.
Three Issues.
At this meeting, at which represen-
a tatives OF the militant and pro-
gressive forces OF all the needle trades
Unions spoke. three outstanding issues

needle trades were raised. These is-
sues, ignored In The Advance edlto-

2. Tho rallying OF the rank and
