BRISBANE, Australia. Dec. 21.-
A former Pennsylvania physician
who got curious about the feeding
Of the cows on his Western Queens
land farm says he believe he mad
vertently may have discovered new
approach to the problem of cancer.
He is German DR.. E. Hirsch-
field Of Brisbane, who practiced med
icine at Allentown. Pa. for several
years during the last war.
He returned to Australia in the
mid -'20s, and has two sons in the
Australian Army.
Experiments With Plants.
THE feeding habits of the cattle
on my farm, Bybera, near the New
South Wales border, set me off on a
series of plant experiments on the
influence of trace elements upon the
growth of plants" says DR.. Hirsch-
field. Trace elements are those
which occur in the soil only in
traces, in minute quantities.

tie at Bybera. Breeding country
must be rich in minerals. The
breeding cow has a keen and press
ing instinct for minerals and will
go to great lengths to satisfy it.

Nineteen hours Of continuous ne

missing elsewhere.
From analyses of the soils, we
knew our pastures had an ample
supply of the main elements-phos-
phorus, lime, potash, iron and mag
nesia-required to build the frame
work of the young animal. We had
no knowledge whatever about the
so-called trace elements"
New Approach to Research.
Soil research at his farm con-
vinced DR.. Hirschfeld that modern
methods of forced production, par
ticularly of grain crops, throughout
the world may have deprived many
soils of their trace elements.
This would result in an clement
deficiency in animals and man, and
might be related to disease which
have arisen or become more prevail
ent in modern times, in DR.. Hirsch-
fields opinion.
I'VE need to make a thorough
study of trace elements and their
possible connection with tooth de-
cay, duodenal ulcer and, above all,
cancer" says Dr. Hirschfeld.
