RELIEF OFFICE IS TRANSFERRED Local Work Relief Office Will Be Moved To • Bluffton : i The withdrawal ot federal aid from direct relief will mean very ( little to Adams county. John M. Doan, Washington township trus- , tee, explained today. Adams county has never been benefited by federal money donai- ' ed to the trustees for relief work as has Fort Wayne and Van Wert, ; Ohio, except for the use of state I : case investigators. I Federal money was paid only to I I those townships who had bonded I indebtedness in the relief funds. ,j As none of the Adams county ’ townships had been unable to meet their relief work obligations federal funds were never sent here. The work relief office maintained here for two years will be moved to Bluffton. All relief reports made by township trustees will be sent to Bluffton for approval. 1 Miss Margaret Patch will continue in her* capacity of certifying agent for Adams and Wells counties, devoting two days a week to Adams county and the rest to Wells county.

(Copyright 1935 by VP.) New York, Oct. 2.—<U.R) — Successful treatment of more than 20 cases of cancer, previously given up as hopeless, with the aid of a completely new method, focussed the attention of scientists today ! upon Dr. Henry C. Connell of ' Queen’s University. Kingston. OntCanada. Whether Dr. Connell has discovered the long-sought cure for cancer, only time, with further experiments in the laboratories and [ hospitals of the world, will tell. If he has. his name will go down in history with the great benefactors of the human race. At the moment, leading Canadian medical men are convinced that ■ he has made a significant contribution to the story of cancer which deserves the closest attention of 1 the world of medicine. i i Today's Issue of the Canadian • Medical Association Journal, official publication of Canadian medicine, contains a preliminary re- ■ port by Dr. Connell, the record oi 30 cases treated, and an editorial expressing the Journal’s contluen'ce in Dr. Connell’s scientific abilities

and emphasizing the importance of ■ his work. ' What Dr. Connell has done, according to his report to the Journal, is to create a solution which dissolves away cancer tissue, in a number of thb cases treated, the cancerous mass which was hard, grew softer and smaller. The solution is injected into the patient with a hypodermic needle. , Dr. Connell calls it "ensol,” which : is a contraction of the two words “ssuzyme,- solution.” Strangely enough, he manufactures the solution with the aid of a germ which is frequently the case of dise/ses ’n mankind, being responsible for one type of the dreaded gas gangrene which complicated so many wounds in the World War. In the Canadian Medical Association Journal, Dr. Connell relates the steps which led to the development of "ensol." He is an eye specialist and went to the study of cancer from the study of cataract. In earlier studies, Dr. Connell found that certain enzymes, or active chemical substances occurr- ‘ (CONTINUED ON PAGE TWO)

He stated that any serious •rinded, sensible girl who could follow instructions to the letter -nu’d safety onerat° an X-ray i morhlne for tberaneutic purposes without a license to practice medicine. He a’so testified, in answer to ' a hypothetical case comparable to •hat of Ratliff's, that the X-ray ■ treatments were safe and proner. I The factors given by Mrs. Caylor I In her previous testimony were | pronounced safe in the treatment I of Ratliff. The physician testified that he I had given X-ray treatments to one person for a period of 10 years and that the patient was still alive. He admitted on cross examination that the extended treatments were given internally and that the point of entry into the. body would be changed as often as six times in an average sized person. The change in the point I of entry of the rays he stated is made to give a relatively higher ( X-ray treatment to the internal part treated than is given at any .
