Sixteen years of experimentation at the Rockefeller Institute substantiate this theory. Early in 1912 Dr. Murphy and his colleague Dr. Francis Peyton Rous produced tumors in young healthy chickens. From these tumors they made extracts; inoculated more healthy chicks; produced more tumors. Always the new tumor had all the characteristics of the tumor from which the extract was prepared. Extract from one species would grow only in the same, or occasionally in a closely related, species. This seemed scarcely the work of a microbe; much more closely did it resemble the activity of a ferment or enzyme like the bacteriophage...

Wise persons remember, on hearing spectacular sagas of carcinoma cures, that nature has a way of being her own healer.

Last week in Boston not many miles from where his paternal ancestors disembarked from the Mayflower he met death following an operation for a tumor which had been removed 17 years ago and had regrown involving the bone of his skull.
