CANCER CAUSE SURPRISE.
AMERICAN DOCTOR'S NEW THEORY.
NOT BROUGHT IN FROM OUTSIDE.
A starding new theory as to the cause of cancer was explain- ed by Dr. James B. Murphy of Neie. Fork at the international. conference organized in London by the "British Empire" Cancer Campaign.
Dr. Murphy, after 16 years work, is convinced that cancer arises in the body itulf and is not brought in by an outside agent.

Dr. Murphy, who is 43 and has a distinguished record of research work in the United States, told a Daily Mail reporter:
This is the first time the dis- covery has been made public!
"Since Dr. Peyton Rous and I began the experiments in 1912 have had the conviction that we were on the right lines and that this tumour was not caused by a virus from outside the body..
"But it was not until this year was absolutely, convinced that the proof was conclusive.

BOMBAY, July 12th. "My girl. I have spent £5 to secure your arrest and am prepar ed to spend as much again. Come to Navsari and you will never re tura alive." This threat is alleged to have been uttered by an Indian to his European wife when she was arrested in Bombay for extradition to Baroda State on a theit charge.

Three hundred experts of 23 countries attended the conference. Dr. Malcolm Donaldson, of Lon- don, declared that it was "little short of a scandal" that more was not done to educate the public con cerning cancer..

Dr. Murphy explained in his paper that he believes cancer is enused, not by a virus such as Dr. Gye and Mr. Barnard photograph- ed, but by a ferment produced within the body.
Ever since Rous and I in 1913 talled attention to 4 aeries of chicken tumours transmissible by Altered extracts, the nature of the substances has been much discussed and extensively investigated all over the world," he said."

Even to-day there are few who are inclined to question the living nature of the principle, and there have been some who sought to con- struct a general theory of cancer. on this basis.

Nevertheless, from the very be ginning the character of the experi-
mental results we have obtained seemed to me personally to 'furnish another interpretation. Subsequent observations during the succeeding years have tended more and more to give substance to that opinion; and now, after many and crucial Experiments, the real nature of the agent seems at last to be emerging.
He explained that after many years of transplantation they had never transferred a type of chicken tumour to other species of fowls, and he added:
The chicken tumours produce tumours only in chickens, and each agent reproduces the distinctive texture and character of the in- dividual tumour; they withstand more ultra-violet light than any known living cells so far, studied; and they give evidence of forming a chemical union with tissues of susceptible animals,"
Final Prooi.
He declared he had produced a protein fraction which caused tumours in fowls with great re gularity and might be regarded as the essential agent," and he con cluded:
"It is hardly conceivable that the active fraction which I have thus obtained, a substance purified

"Why is it," Sir Gilbert asked, "that the disease is so much more frequent in males? Is tobacco the main provoking cause in men? In the middleaged and elderly, female hospital patient smoking is very uncommon; in the male it is almost universal.
