SEEKING A CANCER REMEDY.
At a meeting of the Parliamentary Budget Committee at Berlin the Government representative explained that the statistics sent by certain German physicians to the Berlin Committee for Cancer Research included over 12,000 cases. The result of investigation positively proved that cancer was not hereditary, and though infection could never be traced to plants, yet it was very often traceable to animals, especially cats and dogs, more seldom to horses and cattle. The Government is now about to establish in Berlin two institutions for tbe treatment of cancer pa'ients under the supervision of Professor Lexden. From private sources £7,500 a year for three years has been promised towards the establishment of an institute for cancer research under Professor Ebrlich, of Frankfort-on-the-Main. His studies and experiments held out reasonable hope, said the Government representative, that a certain cure for cancer might ultimately be discovered.
