GERMAN DOCTOR’S CLAIM.
ULTRA-VIOLET RAY TREATMENT,
BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT. (Received Fob. 18, 11 a.m.) LONDON, Feb. 17. The Berlin correspondent of the Times reports that Dr Joseph Schumacher claims that by using new staining methods he has isolated the eaifcor bacillus, which is present in enormous quantities in cancerous tissues, of which it forms oue tenth of the bulk. It is never present in healthy tissues. The great mass of the bacilli was found on the dividing line between the diseased and normal tissues. It advanced into the healthy tissues like a wall. Dr Schumacher has not yet made cultures of the bacillus, which is of a fairly large spiral formation, with thickened ends. Bacilli cannot live in an organism the lymphatic system of -which is healthy.
Dr Schumacher expresses the opinion that ultra-violet ray treatment will be beneficial. —Times.
