...more right to be vexed at the impudence of a San Bernardino Naturopath named Emerson B. Hartman than William Bradley Coley, mightily esteemed Manhattan cancer specialist. Naturopath Hartman advertises himself: ''CANCER SPECIALIST using the ANTITOXIN that has CURED the worst cancers known." Although his "antitoxin" is the stuff which Dr. William Frederick Koch, a discredited Detroit physician, exploits, the specious idea behind it skulks in the shadow of the very real cures of certain kinds of bone cancer which Dr. Coley has been able to make with a toxin...
Medicine suspects any theory that germs cause cancer. Likewise Medicine is stubbornly skeptical of any theory that germs can be advantageously used to treat cancer. Dr. Coley invented his anti-cancer toxin, Coley's Fluid, 40 years ago. It is a mixture of the toxins produced by the germ of erysipelas and a harmless germ called Bacillus prodigiosus which grows on food. Prodigiosus toxin fortifies the action of erysipelas toxin. Together they have cured an appreciable number of people dying of cancer, and together they have in numerous instances prevented the spread of cancer to remote parts...
Cause of the whole cancer was the general election of last November. To the horror of the ardently Republican Martinez Barrios, then Premier, the women of Spain, voting for the first time in history, piled up a terrific Conservative majority. Barrios fell. First Lerroux, then Samper became Premier. Month after month Socialists, Syndicalists, Communists have seen the country swing further and further to the Right. There is definite threat of a semi-Fascist dictatorship. Radicals of all complexions from the rose-pink of Manuel Azana to the black anarchism of innumerable hotheads joined for a final attempt at revolution...
Last week the Curie-Joliots proposed for elements made artificially radioactive such names as radio-nitrogen, radio-aluminum, radio-silicon. They foresaw the use in cancer therapy of packets of artificial radio-elements, which, because they disintegrate as the radiation dwindles, would not have to be withdrawn from the body after treatment as radium seeds must be. They told of experiments presaging the production of a radio-phosphorus which would emit neutrons (emitted by no natural radioactive substance). And they spoke of work indicating the existence of the neutrino, an ultimate particle lacking electrical charge like the neutron, but small...
