CANCER TREATMENT.
METHODS NOT APPROVED. Per Press Association. AUCKLAND, Feb. 19. Reports on the nature and effect of treatment of cancer cases with tho Baker and Koch fluids were considered at the Australian and New Zealand Cancer Conference in Wellington last week, when it was decided that as a result of its investigations the conference did not approve, and therefore could not recommend, such methods and treatment.
The discussions were not open to tho Press. A report supplied by the conference states:—
“The patients that have been investigated in Australia and in New Zealand have not, in the opinion of the conference, derived any benefit from Baker’s or Koch's treatment.
“The conference is of opinion that it is highly improper for any person, medical or lay, to claim success for an alleged cure unless such treatment has been investigated by competent observers, particularly when by so doing they are exploiting a secret commercial nostrum.”
