CANCER CAMPAIGN'S PROGRESS: VICTORY MUCIF NEARER.

It was revealed at the annual supplies were wanting? Over meeting of the Britian Empire £38,000 has been disbursed during Cancer Campaign, at the House of 1929, but expenditure on research Lords last month that successful work would have to be curtailed "experiments bave been made in the unless increased financial support use of mustard gas-used with was received. The expenditure of destructive effects in the war as the campaign exceeded income for poison gas-for the treatment of the year by 28,011, which followed cancer. The experiments have a deficit of £7,474 for the year been carried out at Leeds Univers-1998."

"The Campaign," added the Duke,

"thanks to the goodwill of all branches of medical science and the help of the publio, is moving forward slowly but surely towards solving a problem which affects the whole world."

THE

Progress in Radium Treatment. The Grand Council, in their seventh annual report, stated that the help given to those conducting experiments for the elucidation of the cause of the disease was pro- ducing important results. Cancer of the skin and breast could now be produced experimentally in mice with almost absolute certainty, There had thus become available an immense mass of material for the, use of those trying to enlarge the frontiers of knowledge.

By an ingenious apparatus tobacco tar was produced in the university chemical department at Birming ham. The tobacco tar was painted twice weekly for long periods on the backs of mice," but in no case had any malignant change due to tobacco been scen.

Dealing with the question of in- munisation of the human body against cancer, he said that at the Yorkshire centre at Leeds they had proved that mustard gas, which was so destructive of life in the war, might form a beneficent factor in the treatment of cancer. Referring to the death of Dr. H. J. B. Fry at the age of 44 from acute infec tion while making a post-mortem examination, Sir Charles said, that his work at the Cancer Hospital was known throughout the scientific world.

The Finance Committee did not think it was de- sirable that the campaign's funde should be depleted beyond the sum of £20,000, although the figures showed £67,000 balance, and only £22,000 free money was available. for new research work.
