London-Thc heroic story of the
death of DR.. John Herbert Wells who
recently succumbeG to glandcrs after
eighteen months Of suffering, adds
another name to the ever growing list
of men who have faced martyrdom IN

fered persecution for their enlighten
ment, and various seekers after the
secret of the transmutation of metals
or of perpetual motion are said 10
have blown themselves to pieces in
their search for scientific truth. But
with the vast strides which science
and in particular medical science
has made in moro recent years the
roll of martyrs in the cause of know
