...resistance to cancer is inheritable. She has performed, during 16 years, 80,000 cancer experiments on mice. The two recommended a central bureau for cancer statistics, agreeing that in three generations (about 90 years) man would have enough cancer data to draw conclusions that would lead to a cure...
...year 1895. After ten years of practicing surgery in Cleveland, Dr. John George Gehring had become sick. So he moved to Bethel, Me., in the Androscoggin Valley. There he opened an "inn," a kind of private sanitorium. To Dr. Gehring for cure have gone, in the past 32 years, lawyers, doctors, merchant chiefs-victims of overwork.

Many who favor this cure say it is bitter; perhaps it is unconstitutional. President Coolidge, though he may not want to, must decide whether this cure is to be administered. Here is how it came to his hands. The Senate, fortnight ago, passed the McNary-Haugen bill, 47 to 39. Party lines were torn...
