NEW SERUM KILLS CELLS OF CANCER Y London Scientist Makes Im portant Discovery in Fight On Dread Disease Made From Animal Blood n OSCAH ixroiNG Atwnrlated press Foreign Staff LONDON, Eng., Dec. fl. (AP) Dis covery of a serum which kills can cer cells after they hare been re moved frotn the human body, and, does no Injury to healthy human tis sue so removed, was announced here today by Dr. Thomas Lumsden, direc tor of the London Cancer Research Laboratories. , Lumsden, one of the best known among conservative cancer scientists, saldt he serum cannot st present be used on human beings. He reported his discovery to the court of gov ernors of the- London hospital. Experimental St ape The scientist, emphasising strongly that the serum "is only In the experi mental state and has not reached the point where It can be tried on human beings," said a stage had been reached In which the serum will kill cancer cells removed from the human body without damage to normal cells similarly treated. The serum, Dr. Lumsden reported. was obtained from the blood of an animal after cancerous cells from an animal life of a different species had been Implanted. , , (Human cancer cells live and grow Indefinitely In laboratory test tubes and healthy tissues do the mum. These furnish the material for ex periments outside the body). Brings Immunity As a further step In his Investi gation, the British scientist said l waa found that the serum will kill cancer cells implanted from one ani mal to another of the asms species, and so raises ths resistance that once animals are cured It la Impossible to Infect them with cancer again. The report, seating that Lumsden and his co-workers .are engaged in refining the serum, concludes: "The most that can be said Is that this line of research offers distinct encouragement. It might be men tioned that there Is no evidence that cancer Is due to a germ or is Infec tious in the general sense. j DEATH D WELD PORTLAND. Dec. 8. (AP) With bail set at 110,000, Willi am Stout.
