THE SCIENCE AND ART OF PROTEAL THERAPY 173 



west, that chances to come to me just as I am writing this 

 article : 



"Mrs. A. O. Age 53. Cancer of the stomach. Small tumor 

 at pyloric size of walnut. Under Proteal treatment tumor Dis- 

 appeared. Stomach symptoms (nausea, vomiting, pain) dis- 

 appeared. No more blood discharges. Blood picture improved. 

 Strength and general condition improving." 



It will be observed that I have not used the word cure in 

 connection with the Proteal treatment of cancer. The word 

 cure is one that I shall not use until at least five years have 

 elapsed after the clinical recovery of a cancer case. I am hope- 

 ful, however, that ultimately such reports may be possible. This 

 hope finds justification in the fact that some of the cases that 

 have been longest under treatment have shown no tendency to 

 recurrence. Here, for example, is the record of a case treated 

 by Dr. E. H. Williams, of Los Angeles, and reported by him in 

 the New York Medical Journal of October 9, 1915. 



Patient with recurrent inoperable cancer of the neck. Treat- 

 ment begun in June, 1915. Patient made spectacular progress 

 under hypodermic treatment, the cancer mass regressing rapidly 

 and altogether disappearing in less than a month. The patient 

 has now had no treatment whatever for more than two and a 

 half years, and he continues in apparently perfect health. There 

 has been no tendency to return of the cancer, and no manifes- 

 tation of abnormality of any kind. 



On the day on which the copy for this chapter goes to the 

 printer, a letter comes to me from physician number 746 (my 

 office files), of New Hampshire, telling of a cancer patient, a 

 woman, treated by him so effectively with the Proteals (No. 45) 

 that in October, 1917, she was "in fair health and strength, and 

 able to do very good work in an eating saloon, acting as table 

 girl," with "no evidence of cancer about her system," and now, 

 having found the work of lifting the waiters too heavy, she is 

 occupied regularly in a factory, and has gained fifteen pounds 

 in weight, is of good color, and seemingly well. 



With such reports as this coming from physicians in various 

 parts of the world, many of whom are quite unknown to me 

 personally, to fortify my individual observations, I feel amply 

 justified in reiterating the statement that the results of the 

 Proteal treatment of cancer are in the highest degree encour- 

 aging and enheartening. It would certainly seem within bounds 

 to say that the Proteal method offers new hope for cancer 

 sufferers everywhere in the world. 



In some of my addresses to companies of fellow-physicians 

 I have gone a step further, venturing the prediction that Pro- 

 teal treatment will in the immediate future assauge far more
