Abstract
THE Cantor Lecture before the Royal Society of Arts, delivered on January 20 by Dr. C. H. Andrewes, of the National Institute for Medical Research, is an admirable summary of the essential features of our knowledge of that world-wide scourge, the common cold ; and nobody is better fitted than Dr. Andrewes to state what we know and what we do not know about it. This problem is being attacked energetically by a research unit of the Medical Research Council in a hospital built at Salisbury during the War by Harvard Medical School and the American Red Cross, and eventually presented to the Ministry of Health.
