several years ago by an Australian
scientist, stationed ln Brownsville
by the United states for the study
of boil weevil, points towards this
inL-rable disease as the source Of
the demand for cactus.
The Australian. famous In medi-
cal circles, had made the disease
his hobby. and said emphatically
that the chemical qualities of cactus
would cure Labetes.
He added that he had taken many
sufferers under his care and by
using cactus leaves, sliced In por-
tons. mixed with pure water, had
cured them
He said that the only reason he
did not place the medicine on the
mar.-et was because the mixture.
when kept in bottles for any lengthy
period, would ferment and lose its
power. Consequently only in locaIi-
ties where the cactus grew could the
cures he made. He predicted at the
time that an institution for diabetic
patients would eventually be erect
ed in the Valley.
