The Cause of Cancer and other Disease. "Going back in time, there was a series of books by James Jackson Clarke (1860-1940), the last of which, Protists and Disease, was published in 1922. Clarke was senior surgeon to the Hampstead and North-West London Hospital, and surgeon to the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital. He was particularly interested in cancer. In a chapter on "Cancer-Bodies," protozoa arc described as appearing in cancers, though protozoa are said not to be peculiar to cancer (Clarke, Protists and Disease, 1922, p. 92). Clarke further speaks of parasites found in the examination of pathological cancer sections (Clarke, 1922, p. 183ff.). Clarke earlier had written a series of books tilled Protozoa and Disease (published in four parts, 1902-1915), in which he had mentioned protozoa as a cause of cancer (Clarke, 1912, Part III, p. 66). In any case it is evidently a direction that modern medical research has for the most part not pursued. " Hoffman, E.F.: Cancer and the Search for Selective Biochemical Inhibitors (2nd.
