CANCER RELIEF IN SELENIUM, DOCTOR SAYS Drug Treatment Is Used On 200 Patients in Five-Year Test. MARKED SUCCESS IS SHOWN Physicians Believe Cure May Result from Experiments by New Method -Local Treatments, However, Necessary as Makeshifts, Have Been Based on Makeshifts. New lYrk.-Ma.rkld .in i in the trez'Iitient of (cancer by it'llenium has bet'll anlllloll llll in ll .l1( * ulal pu li{ca tio s by IDr. ('l::tre II. Walker, of 3'_7 \est Eigi hty--ixilth treet, tlhi city. Se lenium is a poweirful rchmical which. taken internally. in clp.ules'. has re lieved silteringl ill tIlltiy cases an. in others hlts i'fected an apparent cure. I r. \Walker, ho-wever. do" lnot say he has found a u're, but lhe firmly be lieves the tra(ltltnllt is worthy of a thorough trial. "I have treated in the last five years more thani two htunldredl cases." Dr. Walker said to a New York Tribune reporter. "In many of them diag nosis had shown beyond all question - the patient was a cancer victim. and in few was there mluch ground for doubt. I can safely say in no case was there a total failure in favorable results from the use of seleniutm. Believes Cure Was Made. "Some of the patients were near death when I first saw them, and It was possible to do nothing but relieve a little of their pain. In other cases, said by specialists to be beyond help, I believe there has been a permanent cure. If selenium will only relieve pain It is worth using, and if it will cure, the treatment should be thor oughly investigated." Sulfo-selene, a combination of sul phur and selenium, the compound Dr. Walker uses, was worked out In co operation with Dr. Frederick Klein, a biological chemist, of this city. In 1911 Dr. Walker came to the con clusion, upheld by eminent authorities on cancer, the disease was not due to a germ, but to a certain peculiar con dltlon in the body, which might be cor rected by treatment with chemicals. Experiments with selenium were be gun and have been continued the last five years. First Clue to Treatment. In a report pulblislhed in "The hMedi cal Record" in 1912 eminent surgeons stated the remedy for cancer might well he a chemllllel substance. "It has long been lthe opinion of tholughtful studtlents of the sulbject." says the report. "that lc;ial tratlllienlts for cancer, however, lnecises:lry as makeshlifts, have been l):lsed oin a mis conception. It Is quite lipossible,' for examplle. that X-rays or thlie fultlllur tion treatmlent tiiaiy lienelit a stlper ficial (cancer at its point of origin. but the danger of such growths lies largely In their spread to dlistant andl inaeed-si ble vital organs, where local treatment is impossible.

Dr. Franlcis Carter Wood. director of the Crocker Cancer RIesearclh Fund. spleaking on the laborattory study of the causes of the disease at a mlleet ing of the New York Acadetny of Medicine last May, said it had been established, almost beyond qustlion, that cancer was not a germ tlissense, nor in any way allied to germ dis eases.
