Rosa Bailly was known in France as a poetess. Quite late in life she became aware of certain radiations and found herself capable of healing sick people by using these radiations. Out of these experiences with patients she wrote a booklet entitled La Survie du Cancer (Victory over Cancer), but it is no longer in print and has never been translated. She died in the Pyrenees where she lived during this last phase of her life, devoted to healing work until she finally gave that up, saying that it exhausted her too much. What she regarded as her major contribution to the healing art was the discovery from this experience of hers that cancer has its seat "in the pithy marrow of the spine" no matter where its tumour is. She could not find a publisher for this little book in France, but it was published here in Switzerland and will not, it is said, be reprinted now that she has passed. In fact she was her own publisher. At the time of her retirement, she explained that vital energy would pass from her to the patient. It is known that some of her cures were spectacular, and even in most of the cases where she failed to save the life of the patient, she brought about a passing without suffering.
