CURE OF CANCER
BERLIN, December 22. -Professor von Wassermann, a distinguished bacteriologist, in the course of a paper which he read before the Medical Society, stated that he had made experiments with mice affected with carcinoma and sarcoma, which are two forms of cancer. An injection of losin and silenium employed by him had softened the tumors in three days, and the last remnants of the tumors had been completely absorbed in a week. Professor von Wassermann has since issued a warning against the assumption that his alleged cure is necessarily applicable to human beings, on whom experiments have yet to be tried.
