cancer through living In a house in'J
which a cancer victtm^as died. For
years the question has been a matter,]
of debate and medical literature now
abounds in references to the "cancer
houses."
Investigation In England has follow,
ed the report of Dr. Amande, who has
found! teat la a village or 400 inhabi
tants In France eleven deaths from
cancer occured in seven years, all be
ing located in the same block of
houses, and ia other parts of France,
including Parla, a similar condition
waa foupd.
In Oreat Britain there arc numer

two successive Incumbents have died

years ago, bis wife, his wife's second

in. Scotland, the cancer history extends
back three generations. An experi

mice in a trap. Several of them con
tracted the disease.
Slr Thom " Oliver, the distinguishes
physician and writer on medical sub

that the germ theory ot cancer waa
only doubtfully adopted, still it was
kaowp that cancer, could be convoyed
from man to the lower ab?mais.. More
over, lt was regarded as probable that
Just as some persons were particular
ly suBceptable to Infectious diseases or
some persons;.?light inherit.a peculiar
vulnerability, of the tissues, whereby
at a particular age they become liable
to cancer. Could this inheritance or
vulnerability explain some of the /acts
about cancer houses? In his annual re
port to Ute Insurance institute at
Newcastlo-Oii-Tyne, Slr Thomas ha?
said:
"My attention has been drawn to a

The bouses are entirely residential.
In th? fifteen years from 1893 to 1908
there died from cancer in this street,
