LOUIS, Aug. 19 (AP) - Can virus diseases be trained to tamed to kill cancer? This intriguing possibility is being studied at St. Louis University School of Medicine. It may lead to new weapons to combat cancer, or better understanding of how cancers get started and grow. The research plans were described in an enterview with Dr. Henry Pinkerton, head of the department of pathology. Viruses are tiny disease agents that live and reproduce only inside the kind of cells they attack. There are hundreds of viruses which can be modified or tamed in many ways, such as growing them in an unfavorable environment. And there are good reasons for looking at them as possible warriors against cancer cells. One is virus experiments already done. Researches at the Sloan-Kettering Institute in New York gave the virus of Russian encephalitis to mice with cancer. They virus went to the cancer tissue. The mice died, of encephalitis. But the cancer was completely destroyed. When cancer was transplanted into rats, the encephalitis virus destroyed the cancer without hurting the rats. A modified rabies virus, given to mice in St. Louis, didn't have any immediate effect on cancer in the mice. But these tumors, transplanted later into other mice, tended to die out. They were the kind of cancer that usually can be transplanted time after time, in a long series of animals. The studies here will seek new ways to using viruses to get at cancer cells. One question will be whether there are toxins or poisons produced by viruses that could destroy cancer cells. _________________________ STOP ANNOYING NOISES AND WASTING WATER [[image]] 75₵ AT MOST HARDWARE STORES with WATER MASTER TOILET TANK BALL INSTANTLY STOPS FLOW AFTER FLUSHING _______________________ HOW I DISCOVERED A NEW SAFE WAY TO REDUCE by Mrs. Kathryn Walker, 3332 W.
