TREATMENT OF CANCER
METHOD NOT APPROVED OPINION OF CONFERENCE (Per Press Association.) WELLINGTON, this day. Reports on the nature and effect of the treatment of cancer with Baker and Koch fluids were considered at the Australian and New Zealand cancer conference at Wellington on Friday 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 the press. A report supplied by the conference states: “The patients that have been investigated in Australia and New Zealand have not, in the opinion of the conference, derived any benefit from Baker's or Koch’s treatment. The conference is of the 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 and commercial nostrum.’’
