CANCER MICROBE IDENTIFIED.
Dr. Gaylord, a medical professor of Buffalo University, claims to have discovered that cancer is caused by a tiny animal parasite which he has identified and isolated. He asserts that the organism ot cancer is undoubtedly a protozoan, and he has at least preliminary proof that the bodies he finds are the organisms. The doctor declared that the cycle of development can be observed under the microscope, and that the parasite can be developed in culture tubes. «
After an injection of these cancer protozoans into an animal they have been found by millions' in its blood.
Dr. Gaylord says his experiments have proved the correctness of the observations of Pfeiffer, Skoebring:, and other German scientists. He has been investigating the cause of cancer for several years, and his announcement has aroused the greatest interest in American medical circles. It is believed that his deductions, if correct, may lead to the discovery of an effectual cure for the dread disease. Dr. Gaylord will submit a full report on the subject to the New York Legislature.
