TWO
CURE FOR CANCER1
IN ANIMALS FOUND
Russian Scientist Makes Important
Discovery; Treatment Has Not
Yet Been Tried on Humans
Ksoton. Aug. 22?Discovery of a
compound ihst di^lwps end apparently
cures cancer in animals in a
few days was announced at the 13th
International Physiological Congress
at Harvard Medical School vester
day, writes Howard \V. Blaktslee,
-e; ... ... . . Associated Press feature
service.
It is injected into the cancer, and
?iis_ejff.ect. is, quite literally, to cause
the malignant cells to breathe them
selves to death.
Scientifically, the process is named
oxidation, and it means that the
abnormal cells get move oxygen than
normally filters through t?> them
from breathing' through the lungs.
The new angle which this discovery
contributes to the nght against
cancer is a method or (-relief by
speeding up the natural activities of
body cells instead of finding some
t.aiL to jiuh?oTi the cancer to. dcati
The preshien't of the congress. Dr.
W. H. HovyeT, of John's Hopkins University.
In rt a vjii -1i<-1.. said
that he considers the method important.

upon whom it has not yet been

The discovery is the woik of a
young Russian, Boris Sokbloff, professor
?.f experimental medicine of
the- Russian University of Prague,
Uzecho-Slovakia. at. present working
as a guest with the Institute !' Cancer
Research of Columbia University.
In addition to scientific work, ?ekoloff
is writing a novel
He told the congress his attention
had been arrested by the fact that in
human beings with cancer, the supra renal
glands of the kidneys show effects
apparently traceable to the
cancer. Art extract of these glands
in their healthy state is the basis >!'
his compound. The extract is called
coiTevro!. To it he adds iron and
pyrrol blue, which is a coal tar
product. He. said that when injected
into the cancer, the pyrrol blue in
combination with the iron produces
jwi rough oxidation that the cancer
cells cannot live, ami their death be

but it spreads throughout the cancer
to the very outer tips of the
jgrov.Lh. It has been used on 1.000
rats and mice, having- four different
types of cancer, including the malignant
kind. An average of tb.out
70 'per cent of the experimental animals
were to all appearances cuved.
said Dr. Sokoloff. and in some experiments
the apparent cures were
100 per cent.
When the apparent cures did not
attain 100 per cent, he found too
rapid liqueftcation of the cancer a.
cause of death, and that mortality
from this source could be prevented
by reducing the doses, so that the
curative process was slower.
Speed of the process was striking.
He said that the smaller cancers bcIgan
to liquefy in three to live days,
while "larger tumors dissolved slowly.
within about lb days."
"Out of 200 rats," he said;
"whose cancerous growth were destroyed
two months ago, up to the
present time only five have suffered
Dr. Sokolof fs theory is that cancer
grows in an area which for some
reason has been deprived qiksu lP>cient
oxygen and that a disturbatice
in endocrine glands may be a cause:
of starting the growth. The endocrines
are ductless glands that produce
secretions which medical r-cience
recently has found of high importance
in regulating health, en
