Can Biochemistry Cure Cancer?
Dr. Howard H. Beard, eminent biochemist, says it can. He has impressive
case histories to prove it. His Laetrile has just been granted a patent by
the United States Patent Office as to its chemical nature and use in the
treatment of human malignancy. An anti-cancer chemical is the basis of
a court suit which has captured the national headlines. Chemistry may
well be the long-sought new approach to the conquest of man's oldest
enemy.
Dr. Beard's pioneering book on the etiology, diagnosis, cure and prevention
of cancer created a tremendous stir when it first appeared in hard covers.
This revised, paperback edition will more effectively meet its wide and
persistent demand .
