Abstract
R. A. HOLMAN has reported1 that a high percentage of rats bearing Walker carcinoma 256 were cured after drinking hydrogen peroxide instead of water. These findings were not confirmed by Green and Westrop2, nor by Ghadially and Wiseman3 using Walker carcinoma 256 and Sheffield RD/3 sarcoma in rats. We have repeated Holman's experiment with some transplantable tumours of mice and rats.
