claimed to a thorough analysis of the nature and cure of cancer is contained in the diary of Dr. Judah Levite, a German-Jewish "doctor of the 18th century, Simon Swerdlow, an elderly Jewish tailor of this city who now owns the dairy, declared. The manuscript, which is in Hebbrew, came into the possession of Mr. Swerdlow's brother, a physician, who gave it to its present owner on his death bed.
