CURE FOR CANCER.

OTHER DISEASES AS WELL. MR. JOHN MOSLEY’S DISCOVERIES. (Reprinted from the ‘‘Free Press. ) Mr John Mosley, of Inchclutha, appeared before the South Otago Hospital Board at its meeting recently in connection with his discovery of a simple cure for cancer, tuberculosis, goitre, and rheumatism. Mr Mosley submitted .the following statement on the subject, which the board decided should lie on the table, and be handed to the Press : I wish to thank youi for giving me this opportunity of bringing before you, as custodians of the public health, a matter which I believe to be of the utmost importance, not only to the people of .this dominion, but to the people of all nations. Please, at the very outset, grasp the fact that I am here, not in my own interest, but in .the interests of humanity, of public health % and in a less degree of the taxpayers.

My subject is nothing lesfs ijhan the discovery of a simple cure and preventive for cancer, tuberculosis, goitre, and rheumatism. Gentlemen, I wish you to plainly understand that I have not arrived at iny conclusions on the evidence of only one or two cases. Will you believe me when I state that I have examined 300 houses ‘ between Riverton and Christchurch where this malady of cancer has developed ? Here are 300 witnesses that do not lie. In every instance the sufferers had been living, and especially sleeping, over, under-ground water, and to confirm these facts, wherever the sufferer h.aS been removed from off the baneful-in-fluence, or has adopted the sulphur insulation method, he has, thrown off the disease, provided always that the disease had not reached too advanced a stagb. ■

Now, let me give you one cape in detail. I could give you many more, and would be glad to, but I am afraid of trespassing on your time. About the end of last March I was informed that Mrs , of Dunedin, was on her death-bed with cancer of the stomach. The disease had advanced so lar that she could not swallow any food. She being a relative of mine by marriage, I went to see if anything could be done for her. I found all ■the house except .the kitchen on a water stream. I advised her daughter to procure ten pounds of sulphur and (spread it under the linoleum in her bedroom. This ' was done the next day. In a few' days .the patient was free from pain. The family physician, to his credit, decided on 'an operations, for he was convinced that without one she would die of starvation. The operatoin was performed and the aesophagus was shifted to another part of the stomach. The operation revealed to him a malignant growth, which he said was as big as a man’s fist, but which to touch with the knife would probably mean death on the operating table. Please note tfiat the growth was not removed or touched. Last week I had the pleasure of seeing the patient for the first time after the operation, which took place about four months ago. The pallor of death ,was gone, and in its place the bloom of health was in her cheek.. The woman is making good recovery. The doctor is puzzled over the improvement, being ignorant of the fact that sulphur was, laid down. The family refrained from telling the doctor for fear of being laughed at. Unfortunately, gentlemen, it is only by accident that I can heaY of a cancer, case ’in time. • Naturally, people are not anxious to inform anyone but the doctor of these diseases., and. the doctor dees not inform me. On the subject of cancer, I have in my hand an article in the London Magazine of May, 1925, by Dr. Sambon, the man who discovered that the tsetse fly was responsible for sleeping sickness and the mosquito for malaria. He went to. Italy to study cancer in the field rather than in the laboratory. There he found that in a certain town nearly all the cancer cases had .occurred in a single street, with the exception of a bylane, in Which a few cases developed. He thought at first that the diiseasb might be traced to the cockroaches, rats, or mice that were so plentiful in the town, but then they were so plentiful that they Welle not confined to the infected street. They simply ■swarmed over .all the streets. How easily that water .theory explains the circumstances without any straining 'of evidence. That street, I feel confident, was over an underground water s.tream, and the by-lane was probably on another stream running into it.

In another town he met a doctor who had lived there all his life. This man told him that foil the last 40 years all cancer cases in that town had occurred, in one street. Here, again, when you are' on the right track, how simple is' the explanation. Mr Chairman, here, is the explanation of the "cancer haunted” houses, tlie “cancer belts,” the “cancer streets.” These people were right in calling these houses “cancer haunted” houses. The houses were haunted, but we have ’ discovered, the ghost that haunts such, and we are going to lay the ghost, strange to say, with brimstone. Gentlemen, what applies to caiicer

applies equally to tuberculosis, only, as you . know, t.b. attacks the young, say, from 16 to 30. Let me give you here, too, one instance, one that happened here in the CLutha. Somewhere about forty years ago I was driving on the then main Road to Port Molyneaux and overtook the Rev. Wm. Bannerman. I asked him to get into the .trap, which he did. He told me he was going to Mr . He said: “There must be something wrong about that house. I cannot understand why that family are all dying' of consumption; they are a strong family.” The old gentleman was quite right. There was something .about the house that was doing the mischief, but neither of us with our then knowledge could possibly find what was killing these people off. ■All succcumbed —father, mother, sisters, brothers’—all except one solitary boy, who had the intuition that there was something in the house Responsible for the deaths in his family. He cleared out, slept in- the barn, which was not on the strteam, and thus saved his life, and he is here among you in Balclutha o-day. Two years ago I went and examined the house, and the indicator showed 700 feet of water below it (a greater volume than I have ever found under any other house) at a depth of 150 ft under the surface. This same stream was responsible for two more deaths, cancer being the destroying agent, in a house about a mile away from the former. This Latter house is now insulated with sulphur, and only a day or two ago I saw the occupant in Balclutha and he said they were all in good health. ' About February of last year, while in Middlemarch I was taken, to see a youth who was fading away (was it t.b. ?), notwithstanding all fhat medical art could do. The sulphur insulation was put down, with the result that the youth is now in perfect health.

With regard to goitre: Last week Mr Joseph Dunstan, formerly of Hillend, and now of Wyndham, called on me to thank me for curing his three daughters of goitre. I have his permission to use these facts. Briefly stated the facts. are these : I heard through Mr George Harvey, his bro-ther-in-law, that he was in trouble. I sent him word what to do, Mr Harvey taking the message. Mr Dunistan was a little sceptical, but, knowing me so well, determined to give the sulphur a trial. Two of his daughters were sleeping in one room and one in another. One in each' room was taking the doctor’s medicine. The sulphur was put down in the room where the two girls were sleeping. In a short time he noticed that the goitre was gradually diminishing, especially in the case of. the one who was not taking the medicine. On the other hand, in the case of the one who was occupying the room not insulated with sulphur, the goitre, was still growing, notwithstanding the medicine taken. After a fair trial he decided to put down the sulphur* in that room al o, and now his is the delight of seeing his three girls cured of that nasty disfigurement. With regard to goitre, I may say that if it is a growth of more than seven years it will not disappear, but it will not increase if the isulphur is laid down.

With regard to rheumatism, I need 'not trouble you.- The cases fo cure here are so plentiful as not to require details. I could give 50 or more if required. ’

Mr Chairman, not only does this subtle influence from underground streams affect animal/ life, but also plant life. The trees of the forest have .their ' counterpart something similar to tuberculosis, cancer, and goitre, and invariably euch diseased trees are' found to be over underground streams. To go into this section, however, would require a whole lecture on its own. I merely mention it to strengthen my case. I come now to the subject of environment. I. am sorry to say that this department has been too much neglected by our physicians in -their study of medicine and microbes. Environment is three-fifths of the battle in this matter. Our doctors are not iso far advanced in this study of environment as are our veterinarians, for I noticed in the Agricultural Journal some two or three years ago an article warning farmers not to build piggeries over underground water if they wished their pigs to thrive. I have not yet noticed anything so advanced in any medical, journal. The Agricultural Journal’s warning was confirmed in an unexpected manner, as the appended letter will show. With regard to the open-air treatment of tuberculosis, I have noting against it, but would say everything in its favour, provided that the shelters are hot over underground streamp. If they are, nd success need be expected. But, gentlemen, what is the common-sense view of .the cure of these maladies? Is it not tp remove ■the sufferer from the hurtful environment ? Is it not to adopt the most scientific method of isolation, but in these cases not ,the mere isolation of one infected person from another, but isolation from the great infecting cause of these troubles, viz., isolation from the effects of underground streams ? Surely in the wooden houses in the country with all their draughts it cannot be want of fresh air that has caused these diseases. Now that the germ of cancer is sup-

posed ,to have been discovered, you may soon be asked to build expensive sanatoria. ' I hope you will oppose such suggestions and save 'the taxpayer, who is already overburdened. You know, gentlemen, that the germs of any living thing are harmless unless placed in an environment Siuitable . for their multiplication. You can snap your fingers at the germs of cancer, tuberculosis, and goitre, provided you are isolated or insulated from the environment necessary to their development. .

Mr Chairman, the question iis often asked: What about persons living on rivers, lakes, or oceans ? I am sorry to say these enquirers have not paid attention to what 1 have written. I have never found anything wrong over open water where the sun’s rays exercise direct action. I have invariably used the qualifying adjective “underground” with water from wihose surface the direct rays of the sun are cut off.

Mr Chairman, you will notice that I have not dealt with theories as much as with facts, and factis, as the Ssotchman says’ “are duels that winna ding.” I hope I have put before you facts sufficient to convince any unprejudiced, reasonable man of the practical value of this discovery. I trust that in a decade or two it may be the means of closing your sanatorium at Waipiata for want of patients.

You have been lately exercised with descriptions of the Abrams treatmentEven if we admit there may be something of a cure, what better is it than the present surgical system ? Both of these systems ai e wrong in principle, as they dp not attack the sources'of the disease, but only trifle with the effects. By these systems you can never hope to eradicate the disease. Remove the source and the disease vanishes. This cruellest of all deaths is claiming every day 120' lives in Britain, 240' in the United States, and 3 in New Zealand. In the name of humanity I ask your co-operation and help in blotting out this scourge. Can you as Britons, can you as meh, refuse ? Throw off all the lethargy. Come into the battlefield and fight our common enemy. I have tried to do my bit. Do yours by distributing this document to all the hospital boards in the Dominion. And, as a board will you see to it that no, known case off cancer or tuberculosis is allowed to go without an examination of the house 1 from which t'he patient has come, the examination to be conducted by a competent water diviner ? Will you use your influence to bring all the other boards in New Zealand into line with you in .this ? Then you and the other boards Xvill have first-hand knowledge for yourselves. Is there any other satisfactory and fair way of testing my assertion that all cancer and tuberculosis patients have been living over underground streams ? And may the honour, gentlemen, be youns of being the first hospital board in the Dominion to use common sense in dealing with this curse of the ages. The following letter from Mr F. C. Fuller, “Garfield,” Inchclutha, was appended ; “For the last two years, since .the erection’of a new pig-sty, of three compartments, the pigs in one compartment have always 1 failed to thrive. The other day. Mr John Mosley happened to cal ; l here and I asked him to come and examine the pig-sty with his divining rod, not telling him what I wanted. , He took a circle away out from the piggeries, found a water stream,' followed it along, and it took him to the very pen in which the pigs failed to thrive, although he didn’t know anything about which pen it was.”
