“There is no hope of the British Government finding the money, but a newspaper campaign would soon raise it, thereby saving for the benefit of humanity the fruit of 25 years’ most important scientific researches.
“The doctors who accompanied me to Geneva—Dr Davis, a Conservative, and Drs A. Salter,, D. Shields, artd J. H. Willia’ms,' Labour members—are convinced that Spahlinger is a genius. He' is the most wonderful scientist we have ever met. He possesses ■ remarkable originality in research. “We examined 50 patients whom'Dr Spahlinger had treated.. He cured some a decade ago, others two months ago, and some recently. Among them were an Australian and a New Zealander, both of Tvhom were completely cured. The former declared that several doctors had examined him recently, and had not discovered any trace of tuberculosis.”
