MONKEY SERUM
CANCER RESEARCH PROGRESS MADE SYDNEY, Jan. 10. Professor Serge Voronoft is making progress in his research for a monkey serum as a cure, for cancer, and has informed Dr. Leighton Jones, the Australian rejuvenation expert, that he has definitely proved that healthy monkeys cannot be infected with cancer either by grafting or injection. On the other hand, Professor Voronoff has found that cancer grafts will develop readily and quickly when certain glands are removed from the monkey. Professor Voronoff is now working along the theory that the action of the glands producer a chemical substance that is capable, of neutralising the germs of cancer. ■ , . If his anticipation of isolating this substance is realised, he will be able to prepare a. serum for testing, first upon infected animals and then upon human beings. Dr. Leighton Jones has been particularly interested in the cabled reports of the change of sex achieved by the former woman Olympic athlete, Zdenka Zoubkova. Dr. Leighton Jones has. not performed any "sex-change" operations in Australia.
