Abstract
IT is an appropriate coincidence that the sensational statements made in the daily Press last week respecting the cure of cancer should have as their antidote the scientific discourse “On the Treatment of Cancer by Modern Methods,” which was delivered at the Royal College of Surgeons, as the Bradshaw lecture, by Mr. Edmund Owen on December 12. In an article in the Pall Mall Gazette Dr. Saleeby went so far as to assert that the conquest of cancer is within measurable distance, the means of cure being trypsin, a digestive ferment formed by the pancreas and passed in its secretion into the duodenum—the upper part of the small intestine.
