had lost track Of them during the
war.
The new drug, n-methyl-col-
chisamade, stops cancer cells from
dividing or reproducing if it
catches them at the middle phase
of this activity, he explained.
Laboratory studies have showed
the drug is not effective If it
reaches living cells before or after
that critical time.
Sending a slight electric current
through the tumor after the Salve
is applied makes the drug enter
deeper, he said. This same effect
was noted with other drugs.
Colchicine and It's new cousin
are poisonous drugs with bad
effects on healthy tissues as we'll
as on cancerous ones. Both have
to be used cautiously.
The drug must be used for long

PARIS, July 21.-A potent new
salve has made some breast
cancers disappear, DR.. Hanes
Lettre of Heidelberg, Germany,
reported today.
The salve is a new chemical, a
kin of the drug colchicine, made
from the autumn crocus plant.
The new cousin Of colchicine is
10 times more potent, DR.. Lettre
told the Fifth International Cancer
Research Congress, which closes
today.
Some breast cancers treated
with the new drug disappeared
and had not returned three years
later, DR.. Lettre said. But be-
cause they still might return, they
could not be considered cured, he
added.
DR.. Lettre, from the Institute
for Experimental Cancer Research
at Heidelberg, said the colchicine
chemical had been used since
1912 on so women with breast
