CANCER RESEARCH.

SUGGESTION FOR CONSIDERATION BY GUY’S HOSPITAL. In theso days when attention, is being actively directed to tho alarming spread of cancer in many parts of the world, any suggestion that may contain even a possibility of usefulness iu tho endeavour to chock the spread of the disease is worthy of investigation., This consideration weighed with the writer—a Dunedin resident—of tho following letter, who is now awaiting a reply from tho authorities of Guy’s Hospital:— “I wish to bring under your notice my discovery for the euro of cancer,, which I give to Guy’s Hospital and the world free for the sake of humanity. Tho limited supply and tho high cost of radium puts it beyond tho reach of all. Tho cure which I submit costs practically nil, and the ingredients oan be procured _ everywhere in abundance. I wish to explain the fact that I am neither a quack nor a crank, for I recognise tho fact that the medical fraternity may bo apt to so designate ono who suggests a cure for such a scourge as cancer. I therefore respectfully beseech you to give tho suggestion a trial. It certainly can do no Ijsrm, and I feel convinced it will do a great amount of good. Briefly, my discovery is a suction tube attached to a freezer and placed over the cancer. Tho. ingredients are ice and salt A cancer grows by tho heat of the body, and when a frost 'comes whore is it? Like the tender branches of a tree, it is nipped in the shoot, shrivels up and dies. I therefore leave the matter in your, most oapabje hands with tho full assurance that it will not be disregarded.” /
