THE CANCER VIRUS
IMPORTANCE OF DISCOVERY. DOCTOR GYE CAUTIOUS. (By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) Received July 20. 9.35 a.m. LONDON, July 19. Dr. Gye and Air Barnard, the discoverers of the cause of cancer, are back at the experimental farm. Dr. Gye is cautious. AVhen interviewed, ho said: “To speculate on scientific results is contrary to common sense. The recent discovery has undoubtedly encouraged people, but it may, after all, prove foolish to he optimistic. There are forty or fifty ultra-micro-scopic germs. It is known that they exist in connection with influenza and sleeping sickness. That was really what Air Barnard and I were probing for when we discovered the cancer virus.” Mr Barnard said: “1 think we are able to meet the severest criticism of the authenticity of the discovery. AVe have reached a stage when it is possible for team work to start, and this may lead to the discovery of a newtype of living things. Our instruments of to-day will register the accuracy of movement ten times nearer than hitherto.”—A. and N.Z. cable.
