DOCTORS PRAISED.
DISCOVERY NOT REAL CANCER CURE. (United Press Association—By Electrlo Telegraph—Copyright.) VANCOUVER, February 20. The Journal of the American Medical Association applauds Doctors Coffey and Humber for experimental work and their modest disclaimers that they have developed a cancer cure in the popular sense, but warns sufferers against the great trek which has begun towards California to attend the clinics. The Journal adds: “An extract similar to Dr. Coffey’s has been developed by Professor Hansen, of Minnesota from the thymus of a calf that will produce lytic changes in cancer cells following injection. Still it is criminal to arouse hopes that a cure has been discovered, and sufferers should not be duped by expectations that are false so far as present knowledge goes.”
