have become an ugly-looking, foul-smell-

But don't take salts. mineral waters.

chewing gums and expect them to get rid
of this poison that destroys your personal

that doesn't take away enough of the de.

Only free flow of your bile juice will

Specialist Finds Degree Of Change in Colo
Of Mnnow in Test Shows Strength
and Proper Dosage Of Drug

A tiny fish taken in the streams
flowing into the Potomac adjacent
to Washington may come to the
aid of science in its battle against
cancer.
DR.. Russell Ferguson, of the
Manhattan Memorial Hospital, ma
tionally known cancer specialist,
is in Washington today and, as
sisted by Fred Orsinger, director
of the Department of Commerce
aquarium, made the first of a
series of tests on the fish with sue
ceSsful results.
Fish From OxOn Run
The fish used in the first
tests are the rosy-sided dace, a
type of minnow, and were taken
from Oxon Run. This vicinity is
the only place in the country
where these fish are found.
DR.. Ferguson has been import,
ing a similar type of fish from
Germany for his cancer research
work. If the local fish continue
to give satisfaction, however, the
research work will be greatly SIM
plified, he said.
In these first tests DR.. Ferguson
injected a hormone solution into
the fish. The action of this solu-

SUSPECT HELD
IN ROBBERY
Of WOMEN
Two Women, Man Beaten by
Thug; Shot Is Fired at
Third Woman

Attacks on two women and
the brother of one of them, with
robbery as the motive, were solved
early today with the arrest of
Edward Diggs, colored, 38, the
5000 block Sherman Ave. N. w.,
police say.
Miss Elizabeth Totten and her
brother, Ephraim o. Totten, both
of the 100 block Lamont ST..
N. w., were in front of their
home when a colored man threw
Miss Totten to the street. Her
brother was also thrown down
and robbed of a pocketbook con-
tanning $11.
Man Seen Running
Shortly afterwards, Diggs, DO.
lice say, was seen running at New
Hampshire Avenue and Park Road
Northwest, and was arrested by
Policeman l.. c. Arion.
Miss Totten was taken to Gar.
field Hospital and treated for
bruises about the face, left knee
and left ankle.
The pocketbook of the brother,
who refused treatment, after
wards was found in the street
with it's contents intact.
About an hour earlier, Mar
jorie Hutchinson, 3100 block Geor-
gia Ave. N. w., was attacked and
thrown to the street at Sherman
Avenue and Irving Street North
west, but frightened off her as
sailant. Police say both she and
Miss Totten identified Diggs as
the man who attacked them.
Armed Man Hunted
Meanwhile, search is still be-
ing conducted for a man who
fired at Miss Elizabeth Burgess,
$500 block Newark st. N. w.. and
struck her in the face after
snatching her purse last night.
Miss Burgess told police she
was at Nineteenth Street and
Columbia Road N. w., last night,
when she felt her purse being
grabbed from her hand. She
resisted and when the man
whipped out a pistol she knocked
his hand upward as it discharged.
The man ran into an apartment
doorway.

M|SHAP VICTIM
FIGHTS DEATH

Mrs. Mary Gaskins, 78, 900
block Crittendon st. N. w., forti-
fled by unusually good health, is
battling for her life in Garfield
Hospital and has a good chance
to recover from serious injuries
suffered when she was struck by
an automobile Saturday night.
Her right leg was broken as we'll
as an arm and a wrist.
Police charged John Kennedy,
81, 1900 block L St. N. w., With
reckless driving, following the &C.
cident, at Georgia Avenue and
Quackenbos Street Northwest, and
he was released on bond.
The Washington times., 1933-08-07

Ition brought out vivid red coloring
in the fish, similar to that natur-
ally shown in the mating season.
Test Measures HormOne
In one type of cancer, the mela-
noma, there is too much hormone,
fluid from the pituitary gland,
in the patient. The action of the
hormone on the pigmentary glands
of the fish would therefore show
if the patient had that type of
cancer.
The fish may also be used in
connection with the treatment Of
one form of diabetes. In this form
of the disease there is a deficiency
of hormones and an injection Of
them is made.
Proper Dosage Indicated
Through the action of the hor-
none solution on the pigment of
the fish the exact amount of hor-
none in the solution may be cal
culated and the dosage set exactly.
In making the preliminary test
on the fish, DR.. Ferguson used in
jections of 1-25,0OO &C of the solu-
ton and within a few minutes the
fermentation was vividly affected.
DR.. Ferguson has been carrying
on research with fish in his work
for more than a year.

DECLINING TREND NOTED IN
NOVEMBER BUSINESS CHARTS

Trade and industrial activity in
Southern California continued dur
ing November to display the de-
clining trend which has character
ized the autumn period. but the
downward movement was less pro-
nounced than in preceding months,
according to the monthly sum-
mary of business conditions COM
piled and published by Security
First National Bank of Los An
geles.
One OF the most encouraging
signs in the November interval was
the increase in retail trade which
occurred during the final week.
For the month as a whole. Los
Angeles stores sold smaller
amount OF merchandise than in
October. contrary to the usual ten
dency at this season. However, sales
exceeded those of November, 1882.
Increase prices for agricultural
products, revival of the wine in
dustry and related factors have
brought about a notable improve
ment in trade conditions in San
Joaquin valley. Reports from Fres-
no show increases in sales during
November as compared with both
preceding months ana the cores
ponding period a year ago, the
business review states, continuing
in part as follows.
