ALLEGED CANCER CURE.

BY KEROSENE INJECTION,

Auckland, October 19,

Kerosene at high temperature allowed to cool to 'blood heat, .and then injected, is claimed as a cure for cancer by a. resident of Frarikton.

Three years ago L. N. White, of 54 Bandon Street, Hamilton, was sent to Auckland Hospital suffering from cancer. The ease was considered incurable, and two 1 years ago Mr. White went back to Fraukton with the belief that there was nothing to do but to wait for his death.

! He heard that kerosene injections would cure cancer, and he decided to try the experiment. The process was an unpleasant and painful one, hut he persisted, and was soon surprised to note good progress. He kept the treatment .going, with the result that his ailment was evidently completely cured, and for the past year there has beeu no sign of any recurrence ;t>£ the disease.

“I feel that I have a duty to the public in letting them know by what a simple process I was cured,” said Mr. White this morning. He said his case had been looked upon as a hopeless one, and that he was entirely given up by the doctors.

For oyer twelve months White lias felt no pain, and there are no signs of a recurrence of cancer. The Health Department instructed one of its officers to examine him, and the officer pronounced the cure effective. Where the growth formerly was there now remains only a cavity.
