0f the Cancer Germ

LONDON. July It (AP).-—Thc
Lancet. the leading British medical
journal, in its forthcoming issue, will
emphasize the importance of the dis.
covery of the cancer germ by Dr.
William E. (lye, a. member of the
British Institute of Medical Ile-
search. and Dr. J. 1'}. Barnard of
King's College. London.
A paper has been prepared by Dr.
Gye on "The Etiology of Malignant
New Growths." which the Lancet
will publish. The Lancet says that
Dr. Gye has succeeded in rendering
the cancer virus visible. and even
photographing it.
Further. the Lancet says the re-
sults of Dr. Barnard's observations
so closely correspond with the expo-
rimental results obtained by Di'.Gye
that "existence of a living cancer vi-
rus would appear to be established
and these observations may repre-
sent the solution of the central proh-
lcm of cancer.
