CURE FOR CANGER
MAY BE EXPECTED SOON LORD HOYHIHAH OPTIMISTIC Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. VANCOUVER, September 16. (Received September 17, at 9.25 a.m.) A cure for cancer may be expected before long according to Lord Moynihan. President of the British Medical Association, who formally opened the Banting Research Institute at Toronto to-day. The institute is named after Professor F. G. Banting, the discoverer of insulin.
“So much research is being done that we may expect some solution of the problem before long,” Lord Moynihan said. “No one can tell when some one will bring forward a solution. We know much more than we did five years ago as the result of treatment by radium. There are cases now to which I could almost use the word cured—but at any rate alleviated—by radium treatment that could not have been alleviated before.”
He also prophesied an announcement soon of a cure for Addisons disease, which was at present considered most serious.
