NEW CANCER TREATMENT.

SIMPLE MEDICAL METHOD. LONDON DOCTOR’S SYSTEM. Can internal cancer be cured by pie medical treatment? Is the diseegri which has baffled the leading eciexM i tists of the world to give way before i a course of medicine which will render operation unnecessary ? Those interesting questions are raised by the saecess which it is claimed has attended the efforts of Dr. Reginald Larkin, a London general practitioner. Dr. Larkin has made no attempt to keep his treatment secret. He has made it known to his fellow practitioners through the medium of the Lancet. He believes that internal cewer is nearly always associated with soora form of rheumatism, and inconsequence, will yield to a course of alum taken. 1 as medicine. The prescription- he recommends is composed mainly of alum sulphate, light carbonate of magnesia*and citrate of potassium, mixed withwater and a few drops of chloroform. This treatment has been used by the.: doctor for several yeare past, and Melias resulted in a number of cures. The cases yielding the best suits have been those of can.-er in thrj intestine, the stomach, the gall-blad-der, and the prostrate gland. "The doctor saved my life, that iacti is beyond question,” said Mr. E. Knight, a tailor. ‘TBefore 1 went to him, earlier in the year, with cancer I could scarcely move. 1 almost wished to die, the pain was so intense. Two of the best specialists in London said my only hope was an immediate operation, and one was very doubtful that I should come through it. 1 had decided to be operated on when the police told me that their doctor— Dr. Larkin . is the local divisional surgeon —had a treatment for cancer, and so I went to him. I was in his hands for 10 week*, simply taking his medicine every four hours, and now I am as fit and strong as a young man, and I am just on 50 years old. “I know of other people whose recovery has been just as wonderful. The. doctor has told me that his secret IiMK in removing from the body by medical ’ treatment the poison which causes the internal growth. He has not yet been successful with external cancer, but he believes he will be soon.” Among recent cases which ed through the doctor’s hands 1 YUirthat l of a woman with a malignant growth in the breast and neck. Three doctors advised an operation. The patiesrt, after three weeks under Dr. Larkin, in in good health, with the growth completely gone. A South London man suffered with intestinal cancer. He was advised by a specialist to sell his business, as there was no hope of Ms being able to work again. He is now quite well, and able to conduct hi* affairs in the ordinary way. The doctor is regarded as a sort of medical magician in South-East London. His people have spread his fame to their friends in the provinces, with the result that patients are travelling long distances to consult him.
