These cancerous cells may become detached and " run wild" through the lymphatic system, perhaps starting cancerous growths in remote parts of the body...
...Butts experimented with a galvanometer and an electric circuit on nearly 200 pairs of rats, one cancerous, the other healthy. The cancer tissue acted exactly like the positive pole, and the normal rat, the negative, in an ordinary dry-cell circuit He proved that cancerous tissue has an excess of positive charge which may be neutralized by the application of an equal negative charge. This explains why X-ray and radium treatment, in which the alpha or positive rays are screened off by a lead shield, while the beta and gamma rays (negative) are allowed to reach the diseased tissue...

Proof is difficult, however, that the nerves of the transplanted organs have actually united with the native nerves, and a violent discussion has been aroused among medical men.
