OFFER HEW THEORY
ON CANCER'S CAUSE
. -. .
Experimenters Conraced That True
lause of Disease Is Found
A Novel Remedy on Trial Element
That Makes the Leaves of Plants
Green One of Many Impor-
tant Ingredients.
The New Tork Medical Journel gives a
novel explanation of cancer and a new
revolutionary theory of healing.
nr. S. P. Pee be of this city in one ar-
ticle describes the favorable progress of
cancer patients through the use of the
new remedy which he calls autolysln.
and In a succeeding article Drs. Henry
Nmlth Williams sSid J. Wallace Beverldge
set forth the "photo- morphie" theory on
wnicn tne treatment Is based.
All throw down the gage of challenge
for the method has been severely criti-
cised by some members of the medical
profession all hough there are also many
who regard it of great value.
Since the publication of the prelimin-
ary report on this remedy in the New
ork Tunes and in the medical press last
slay controversy has spread to hospital
unci laboratory and in view uf this fact
the Hist exposition of the principles on
which the remedy is based is bound to
he widely discussed.
lr Beebe. by wsy of clearing the air.
expressed rtsret that the preparation
should be referred to as a "cure and he
ss that he never declared It to be a
cure. Me does assert. however that
many patients to whom It was adminis-
tered are now clinically well although It
is Impossible to tell whether the disease
will recur.
He declares that within the last two
months approximately 5"0 patients have
been treated for cancer with autolysln
by different physicians. The results
which have been obtained are practically
the same as those following the treat-
ment of 100 cases which were under his
own observation and that of his associ-
ate. lr Beveridge. uf these 15 patients
are apparently or clinically well 57 are
improved and 2H received no benefit. Of
those not benefited 21 are now dead for
all the cases were of what he calls the
hopeless inoperative type.
Ills .associates discussing the great
improvement shown in cases which are
cited do nX attempt to explain all the
reasons for the change but insist no
matter what may be thought of the
remedy that the results speak for them-
selves and invito all skeptics to investi-
gate. Autolysln Is not a serum. It is an ex-
tract powder compounded from various
plants. The ingredients tax the resources
of the expert botanist to name. Tins
poultice powder contains the anemone
the hepatlca and three colored violet.
It has the bog bean the camomile the
hitter apple varieties r.f the mint family
and numerous plants with resounding
Latin names. The extract is so complex
that even Dr. Reehe says that it is not
possible at this time to determine the
precise nature of the ingredients their
relative proportion or the action of them
all.
The remedy in the form of an emul-
sion is injected Into the veins usually
those of the arm.
The explanation of why it is of value
rests upon the acceptance of the theory
nf the origin of cancer as outlined by l'rs.
Beveridge and Williams. Cancer Is then
a condition of the system brought about
by the depositing of new cells in con-
Junction with an excess of white cor-
puscles in the blood and a deficiency of
the reel corpuscles. It is the lack of the
red corpuscles In the blood which makes
It difficult for the system to throw off
the abnormal growth of new cells which
constitute canc er. The deficiency- of red
corpuscles also makes it impossible. In
accordance with this theory for the sys-
tem to throw off certain protein prod-
ucts resulting from the breaking down
of some of the new cells under the at-
tacks of the white corpuscles.
Tile net result then is protein poisoning
or auto-intoxication which causes the
cancer cachexia and at last causes the
death of the patient. Protein constituting
as It does so much of animal and vege-
table substances when appearing In such
an excess loses its harmless charactt
According to this new definition of cancer
any kind of a new growth In the organism
may on occasion became malignant.
According to the pruteo-morphtc the-
ory there is a manifold change of form
In the nrotein brought about by the
action of the corpuscles as they are gen-
erated. The white corpuscles facilitate
the digestion of cleavage of the proteids:
the red ones aid the splitting up of the
proteld products through hydrolysis. Im-
munization to bacterial disease according
to Its theory would be merely a special
case of protein assimilation. The new
method rests upon the elimination of dan-
gerous cells. It Is cell treatment.
The principal action of the autolysin
appears to be the stimulation of the or-
gans which produce the white and the
red corpuscles as the ministration of tho
remedy is. according to the reports al-
most immediately followed by their In-
crease. This is demonstrated by actual
blood count. With the Increase of the
corpuscles there appear certain ferments
In the blood which cause the self-dlges
tion or autolysis of the cells of malig-
nant growth. Hence Dr. Becbe has ap-
plied to this remedy the name autolvsin.
The effect of the extract by building up
the corpuscles is to increase the resist-
ance of the patient to the disease. The
physicians assert that pain Is lessened
that the masses of cancerous growth be-
gin to soften and that odors are ban-
ished. The hypodermic administration
J of the autolysin Is said to bring Into the
blood an agent which at once alters its
nature.
The action of the remedy Is believed
to be due to Its containing In solution
certain vegetable proteins. Their exact
nature does not appear to be known aa
yet but plants are chosen which contain
no powerful active principles no alka-
loids nor poisons of any kind. There
seems to be one of the mysteries of the
laboratory of nature here. The principal
ingredient of the remdy is chlorophyll.
which gives the green to the leaf and la
tne only Known agency through which in
organic matter is compounded into or-
ganic matter.
No one needs to be told says Drs.
Beveridge and Williams "that chloro
phyll in the plant leaf through the ac-
tion of sunlight combines carbonic acid
and water to form organic sugars and
starch. But no one has hitherto had any
conception as to what chlorophyll might
do when brought Into the circulatory
system of a warm blooded animal."
ihe remaining constituents of the au
tolysin comprise organic salts ferment
and vegetable fats it is pointed out also
that foreign proteins of whatever charac
ter are likely to produce defensive en-
zymes. Why the extraordinary assort-
ment of plants mentioned in the formulae
and used Is not demonstrated except that
tney are narmiess.
I he effect of tho remedy however.
Is described as resting upon the Just right
amount of chlorophvl combined with
vege table proteins and other extractives.
It is the Inference that chlorophyll the
life-giving green of the leaf. Is at least
one of the agents that fortifies and stimu-
lates the antigenic action of the com-
plex compound called autolysln.
The physicians who stand as sponsors
for it and for the theory assert In con-
clusion that the remedy opens up an en-
tirely new order in therapeutics and that
the treatment Itself is a demonstrated en-
tity. ROSE WAS AN ETON STUDENT.

WIRELESS TO STEER
A NEW AIR TORPEDO
Georje F. Fflssell Sajs He His An-
tjcipated Henry Ford.
Directed By Three Rudders and
Colored Lights In the Tail
Show Its Course in
the Dark.
Another complainant against Henry
Pord In his new capacity of inventor of
deadly instruments of war. has appeared
in the person of George P. Russell of 1901
Washington street. Hoboken. X. J. who
has invented a wireless-controlled sir
torpedo of the sort which Mr. Ferd re
cently suggested for the defense of the
L'nited States. Mr. RusseH told of his
invention t the offices of Professor Her-
schel C. Parker w ho has planned a baby
submarine the credit for which Mr. Ford
s Professor Parker thinks has been try-
ing to gather in to himself.
Mr Ford who disappeared from New
Yoik after saying that he had never
heard of or from Professor Parker and
that he himself had only thought of the
baby submarine as a KOod idea had also
spoken of the possibility of directing tor-
pedoes by wireless control Mr. Russell
has the torpedo and while he did not
calltit to Mr Ford's attention until after
the automobile maker had given out a
statement showing that he was thinking
along a similar line. Mr. Russell has a
clipping from a Hoboken nwspaer of
June 12 last which shows that he himself
had the plans for the aerisl torpedo work-
ed out at thst time.
Mr. Russell's torpedo Is a deadly
weapon uuleed even thougji in one of
its features it resembles the glimmering
glow worm. It hns a litrht in Its (ad.
but this is concealed from every holy
but the man who Is steering the torpedo

In contradistinction to the aeroplane
torpedo on which Rear Admiral Brad-
U y A. Flake Is working and which in
effect is simply an ordinary navaj tor-
pedo which can be launched from an
ueroplane or dirigible and pursue Its
c ourse in the water Mr. Kussell s tor
pedo is to be launched from an aero-
plane and then became a Utile aeroplane

It darts towsrd its target and it has
been calculated by the iiuentor that its !
range is eiual approximately to three ;
tin.es the height oiT Ihe ground of the
airship from yhlch it Is fired The tor- j
pedo is made to glide instead of falling
sheer by a small plane affixed just
over its top. and it la steered by three
ruelders operated by a sprint motor. The
motor Is controlled by wireless accord-
ing to a new method which la the se-
cret of the whole thing. I
Mr. Hussell says he Is negotiating with :
foreign goVLiiiini nts on both sides of the
uar hut of (oursc he would rather sell it
to Ins own country. He would I ke to '
make some arrangement with Mr Find
cy which the latter would lurnish him
Mith shop facilities and sufficient funds i
to perfect his Idea.
Mr. Russell used to be an aviator and
it was four yeaij. ago. while he was mak-
ing flights in hydiopl.ines that he first
conceived the Idea of the aerial tcrpfd".
He did not work it om fully at that time
and only took a u again seriously after
the beginning of the present war. The
model which he has at present has never
been tried at any great height. In fact. '
Mr. Russell's experiments so far have I
been con'iued to Ids home in Hoboken. (
lint he Is confident that his calculations
will hold ood and that the air torpedo
will be a practical and a dca ily invention.
WEIQH8
200 POUNDS.
The torpedo is made of aluminum and
consequently is bo .ight that it can easily
be carried on an aeroplane and 2.i could
be taken on a Zeppelin. The model Is
seven feet two Inches long. 12 Inches
thick at the head and five inches at the
stern and welgho 50 pounds without ex-
plosive It would hold 150 pounds of high
explosive however and the inventor says
that this ratio the weight of the torpedo
being one-third that of the explosive
would noli good fur larger sizes. It could
be made of course any slie.
Once let loose the torpedo will glide
downward at a rite approximating 200
milts an hour and would normally be-
ing controlled by a rigid plane travel In a
straight line. . But when the man who
has fired It sees that it is going above
beliw or to th side of the mui k he op-
erates the wireless sender dispatching a
spark w hich n I reels a mechanism that
turns the siring motor on the steering
gear Attached to each of the side rud-
ders is a small slide of gelatine green on
the right and red on the left.
The coarse of the missile In daytime
can be followed by the eye but at night
the airman will keep track of his torpe-
do by the white light In the stern which
Is sheltered In a conical cavity and hence
Invisible to one not directly behind It.
When he touches the mechanism affect-
ing the starboard rudder that sweeps the
panel with fho red slide across tne light
the other rudder huts the green slide in
position. Thus the man who starts the
torpedo can follow its course all the way
to the mark.
ITS SECRET ;
IS SAFE.
A small governor is controlled by a
mechanism in the forward part of the tor-
pedo and operates in such a way that the
torpedo can not explode In the aeroplane
nor indeed until It Is several hundred
yards away; but once fairly started the
smallest contact will he sufficient to ex
plode It. Wns. says Mr Russell will pre-
vent it from ever being found unexploded
so the enemy will never have a chance to
find out how it is made.
"Mr. Ford Is certainly standing In the
way of invention" said Mr. Russell yes-
terday "by his general statements tell-
ing of the schemes he has on hand. No
doubt he has thought vaguely of the air
torpedo as he did of the baby subma-
rine. He could have learned how far I
had progressed on the road to perfecting
It if he had read the papers In which ac-
counts of my invention were published.
But when he makes these statements
the general public naturally thinks that
Mr. Ford has the Invention perfected
himself. Consequently when some less
known inventor who has actually brought
it wen toward completion approaches a
capitalist to get him Interested lie Is
told that Henry Ford has been doing the
same thing and no doubt has several
thousand of them already manufacture
I'd rather work for Mr. Ford than for
the United States government for there's
less red tape about him; and I wrote to
him and Mr Edleon several days ago. If
I can't get anybody to use this Invention
In my own country I'll sell it somewhere
else.

mander sent a sort of ultimatum to the
British war office.
"The Russian offensive Is believed by
Major Moraht to be due principally to the
situation resulting from the arrival in
Russia recently of Anglo-French Inspect-
ors. General Ivanoff's efforts however
the writer says are doomed to failure as
the German and Austro-Hungarian posi-
tions must be considered unconquerable
by the Russian attacks which are being
carried out In the same manner aa were
those in the earlier Carpathian opera-
tions." The Austro-Germans have completed
their occupation of Serbia by the appoint-
ment of Count Sails Beewis commander
of the Austrian troops at Vienna as gov-
ernor general of the conquered country.
AGITATION OVER ENGLISH
CONSCRIPTION IS A B ATI NO.
The New Year holiday has given a rest
to the British political agitation over con-
scription. The traditional secrecy en-
shrouding cabinet deliberations have been
thrown to the winds during the past week.
The main facts of the debate within the
cabinet became promptly known particu-
larly the fact that Premier Asciulth pro-
posed to Introduce a compulsion bill and
also the fact that the cabinet Is In favor
of the enlistment of all unmarried men
who failed to respond to Lord Derby's call
for recruits.
A small portion of the liberal press
strongly opposed Premier Asiiilin a sup-
posed policy. Tho nation accuses David
Lloyd George minister of munitions of
betraying the liberal traditions of volun-
tary Bervloe and declares that his lnflu-
once has shifted the balance in the cabi-
net. Sir John A. 8imon. secretary for
home affairs has not yet retired from
the cabinet flls resignation being held in
abeyance according to today's reports. It
Is believed that Reginald McKenna chan-
cellor of the exchequer and WaltorRuncl-
man president of the board of trad who
opposed conscription on financial grounds
have decided to remain with the cabinet.
Groups six to nine of the Derby enlist-
ment plan which include single men from
H to 27 years of age. also will probably
be called to arms on February 1.
