"Bullets whleaed past my face so
close I could feel them," Mrs. Olllls
was quoted. "It's a lie that the holes
In our car were made from firing
from the Inside. The federal men's
first fire knocked our gas supply
and we took to a field.
"Lea yelled at me to duck Into a

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
