" Dr. Robert Bell, late Senior Physician to the Glasgow Hospital (or Women, once more protests the possibility of the pieveniion and cuie of Cancer by the use of a vegetarian diet, supporting his contention by highly reasonable and forcible arguments.

" —Huddcrsficld Examiner. " It is ... . interesting and suggestive .... and it " deserves a wide circulation. —Manchester Courier. " Dr. Bell is strongly of opinion that the Sconrge is amenable to cure, and his remedy is the use of radium in conjunction with a special kind ol Fruitarian Diet. When one considers that every known remtdy of the past has failed and that this suggested cure has no revolting method-, such as the knife of the surgeon, it should certainly receive the attention it merits." — American Repster.
