Cancer, as he sees it, is a problem to be solved in the laboratory by the physical chemist, with the assistance of the biologist, who studies all living organisms, and the cytologist, who specializes in cell organisms, + In the background of the doctor's picture he shows that in order to un- derstand it is y to make of it a mechanical model, just as the physicist, to understand the atom,and its operation, has made mod- els with moving orbits, The model for the cancer mechan: ism is the living cell, with four dis- tinct component parts--the nucleus, the protoplasm, the semipermeable cell membrane and the environment (blood and tissue juices).

Following the picture, Dr, McDon- ald's criteria for treating cancer come about perfectly logically--the condi tion must be produced which will do five things--normalize the break-up of body sugar, normalize the blood's alka- line state, reduce high blood sugar, in- crease the cell's calcium and reduce the cell's potassium, Woolless Lambs Reported By Soviet Now comes the story of a lamb with- out wool, born in the village of Pok- Soviel capital.
