Abstract
THE retardation of the growth-rate of tumours in experimental animals by chemical compounds and by extracts of tissue has been the subject of numerous investigations, and the fact that inhibition can be produced by so large a number of compounds suggests some general effect on metabolic processes. Samuel and Kugelmass1 have shown that an acid-forming diet fed to young rats produces a much slower rate of growth than does an alkali-forming diet.
