BY BRUCE CATION.

HE cobra may be the scourge of India,
super-deady reptile that kills thou
sands and thousands of people an
nually and lives as a symbol Of the
dark maiignancy of nature
But it has actually been enlisted
in the great fight against cancer, and its
poisonous venom, which bring agonizinz
death, is being used to help the human body
throw off the mysterious and incurable power
of those deadly growths which have been SO
battling to medical science.
The research connected with the use of
cobra venom in cases of cancer is, of course,
still to be completed. But papers on the work
done to date have been read before medical
societies, and 1t has already been established
that in certain cases, at least, this venom is a
weapon of the highest value.
This work seems to have got under way some
five years ego when Dr. Adolph Monae-Lesser
visited the Office of DR.. Raymond L. Ditmars,
head Of the famous Bronx Zoo, and asked him
for some of the poison of the Indian COBRA
He explained this request by telling little
story. Years ago he had served with the Red
Cross in Cuba duling the Spanish American
War. One of his patients was "a leper. The
leper had been bitten by tarantula-and
shortly thereafter had shown a marked i'm
provement in his nervous condition and a
lessening of his pam. DR.. Monae-Lesser had
stored this odd fact away in his memory
Now he wished to conduct some experiments
on the possible eifect OF snake venom on ma
lgnant g'cv'.'
DR. DIIMA..5 It's about this in his new
- book, Confessions of a Scientist" re-
Gently published by the Macmillan Co.
"As I Understood him." he writes, "his ex-
perimentS were guided by the theory that GER
tain malignant erowhs were associated with
abnormal conditions of the nerve centers
These nerve centers induced activity in certain
cells, which congreglted and built I'D alb
normal or malignant Tissue
Now, we already knsw that in its undi-
luted form cobra venom hos terrific effect on
the nerve centers. In fact when man is bit
ten by cobra, death is largely produced by
paralysis of the mus les that control the BREATH
ing mechani,m
MY understanding of DR.. Monae-Lessers
theory was that if a person suffering from q
malignant growth were given a diluted solution
of venom there would b, comparatively mild
shock to the nerve cen els and an activation of
the affected ccc-~-3 th2t would be followed
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1935-01-06

by correction of the abnormality-a kind of
rejuvenation."
Dr. Ditmars says that there are two kinds of
snake venom-the neurotoxin, which strikes at
the nerves, and the hemorrhagin, which attacks
the blood The cobras is Of the neurotoxin
type and it was that type, of course, which the
physician wanted.
Getting venom from a cobra isn't an easy
task. Cobras are muscular and hard to handle.
The reptile must be held by the neck, lust
BACK OF the head, ard induced to chew on q
glass slab The poison adheres to the glass,
and later can be dried, Scraped off and dissolved
in distilled water.
Even after the head is successfully re-
'strahed, Dr. Ditmars writes, land the cobra
graSped by the neck. there is feeling as if one
is holding polished cable that could turn with
IN ones grasp, enabling the flexible Jaws to be
bent sideways and bringing the fangs into a DO
sltlon to grip. If cobra can imbed its fangs
1t chews. and in this way it differs from most
venomous Serpents'
However. the naturalist went to work and
supplied Or. Monae-Lasser with the venom.
me doctor began by using highly diluted So
Iutlon OF the venom on patient who was suf-
tering from cancer of the tonsil
AT the time writes DR.. Ditmars, "he had
no thought OF markedly alleviating the cancer
as 1t was we'll advanced His object was to
relieve the pain produced by clearly indicated
nerve pressure
nevertheless, he was agreeably surprised.
Ior not only was his patient relieved of pain
but the tunlor began to diminish. Before the
treatment the patient could eat no solids and
could not lie down without spasms of the throat:
now he could swallow without pain and sleep
in bed instead of chair"
THE experiments were carried on in Paris.
Dr. Morae-Lesser and his associates, en-
couraged by the results in this case, proceeded
to give similar treatments to lis other cancer
sufferers. In 1888 Prof M A. Gosset read a
paper summarizing the work
For their clinical work." says DR.. Ditmars,
tne doctors made no selection of cases. They
TOOK serious cases, cases recently operated upon
cases operated upon long ago with or without
relapse. inopcrab,e cases. patients treated with
X-ray or radium without success, visible cancer
or abdominal axle cancer"
The majority of these patients, they reported,
mad suffered so extensively from malnutrition
and general i'll health due to the cancer that
they died. hut in nearly all cases the venom
save than rcI:c: from pain. In other cases
