A compound dissolves and apparently cures cancer in animals within days. Injected hypodermically, it causes malignant cells to breathe themselves to death through a process called oxidation, speeding natural cell activity rather than poisoning the cancer. Dr. W H Howell of Johns Hopkins cautioned that the finding is preliminary with no prediction of human success.
