MANSANESE USED
TO TREAT CANCER
Philadelphia CIinician Re.
ports Ministering MetaI
With Lead.
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, September 4.-Discov-
cry that manganese combined with
lead is useful in treatment of cancer IS
reported in a special supplement Of the
American Journal of Cancer, out today.
Mixing manganese with lead pre-
vents the lead from poisoning the can
Ger patient. Lead was hailed a few
years ego as a possible relief for can
Ger, but it failed because it killed pa
tients about as rapidly as it destroyed
cancer cells.
Manganese is grayish-white metal
lie element, recently identified as de-
sirable in human diet in very small
quantities. Its lack in rat food was re-
ported at Johns Hopkins University last
Spring as depriving female rodents OF
their mother love"
Report Is Preliminary.
The manganese cancer experiments
are reported by William H. Kraemer,
M D.. of the tumor clinic of jefferson
Hospital, Philadelphia. His account is
brief and he states that it Is 'prelimi-
nary" He credits DR.. Hamilton Brad
shaw, consulting chemist OF the tumor
clinic, with suggesting the manganese.
Present experiments began in 1929
with rats They have been extended to
human cancer sufferers, Is of whom
have been treated The actual amounts
of metal in the dosage are four-tenthS
of l per cent of lead and four-thou-
sandths of / per cent of manganese.
They are given in the form of man
ganese phosphate and colloidal lead
phosphate.
The outstanding feature of the new
lead-manganese preparation" writes Dr..
Kraemer, lis that it is well tolerated by
the patient, enabling us to introduce in
travenously 200 milligrams daily until
the total of 600 milligrams is reached.
The patient is confined to bed during
the entire period of lead administration.
The reaction consists of marked chill,
a rise in temperature from one to three
degrees. some nausea and return CT
all symptoms to normal within four
hours.
Cancer Not OId-Age Disease.
H. Gideon Wells OF the Ohio S. A,
Sprague Memorial Institute Of the
University of Chicago, says:
Cancer is not essentially disease
Of old age. dependent on senescence of
tissues, but disease Of long irritated
tissues, the necessary duration OF trr1-
tation being seldom reached in the first
half of life
Taking all the evidence it seems i'm
possible to escape the conclusion that
the occurrence of cancer in both ami
mails and man is influenced by heredity
and IL seems most probable that the
hereditary influence is an extremely i'm
portant one"
While not denying the possibility
that there is real increase in cancer
in people of cancer age" DR.. Wells
points out that the seeming rapid spread
Of this disease may be accounted for in
the increased longevity of the highly
civilized peoples. They now have dis
tinctly more opportunity to develop cam
GER. Better medical diagnosis and re-
porting facilities also increase the can
Ger count
