CANCER THEORY.
INTERESTING VIEWS. OUTLOOK TRANSFORMED. . LONDON, Jan. 21. Two interesting views of the GyeBarnard cancer theory have just been published. Sir George Beaston, writing in the British Medical Journal, suggests the possibility that Mr Barnard did not see tho cancer microbe, but might have synthetically created new combinations from materials on which ho played ultra-violet or X-rays. On the other hand, the annual report of the British Medical Research Council says: “Dr Gye and Mr Barnard have transformed our outlook on tho problem of the causation of cancer by suggesting that a filter-passing virus or ultra-microbe is a common factor in malignant tumours, yet is harmless without an adjuvant factor. For the purpose of more rapidly exploiting the possibilities the council is constructing additional laboratories at the Imperial Research Fund’s Millhill farm, to which Mr Barnard’s ultra filtration plant has been transferred from Hampstead. Dr Gye will supervise part of the Imperial Fund’s research.”—A. and N.Z. cable.
