Elaborating his thesis, Dr. Mendelsohn said: "The human body's motive power is represented by the cellular activity of the glands and skin in absorbing and excreting liquids which furnish the requisite fuel for the human motor, whereas the heart and blood circulation merely play a regulative role in distributing such fuel and resulting refuse to and from the various motors throughout the body, namely, the internal, glandular and epidermic cells...

Definition. Cancer is one of three types of tumor growing in the epithelium, that is, the cellular tissue which covers the body's free-surfaces, and lines tubes and cavities. One of these three types grows in finger-like processes or ridges. It is called papilloma and is benign. Also benign is adenoma, which lines gland-like depressions or cavities in the tissue structure. Under certain conditions papilloma and adenoma may infiltrate into healthy tissues and sometimes displace them. Here they resemble in effect the third epithelial tumor type-carcinoma, or cancer...
...people die here from this dis ease. It presents itself in four main ways: 1) epithelial, in which there is no rodlike framework; 2) scirrhous or hard, in which the framework predominates and the tumor is hard and of slow growth; 3) encephaloid or soft, in which the cellular element predominates and the tumor is soft, grows rapidly and often ulcerates; and 4) colloid, in which the cancerous structure becomes gelatinous. The last three are also called carcinoma. There are no positive ways of curing cancer after it has leached advanced stages. Its progress may be arrested, in some cases...
