colleagues, also to Professor Weigart of

tion, and is, perhaps. the grandest feat in
the history of medical science.
Professor Billroth holds that Koch's
method places bavond doubt that remedy
will be found before long for cancer The
only criticisms If Koch's discovery come
from French medical men. some of whom
advise incredulity until the nature of the
remedy Is fully known, and scientific proof
given of its effectiveness.
