CANCER RESEARCH.
X-RAY DISCOVERY. (BT CABLE—PBESS ASSOCIATIOK—COPYRIGHT.) (AUSTRALIAN AND N.Z. CABLE ASSOCIATION.) SYDNEY, January 14. Dr. Warnford Moppett, a young Sydney biologist attached to tho Cancer Research Department of the Sydr ney University, who at present is on Ids way to the Medical Congress at Dunedin, where he will read a paper, lias made what is probably one of the moGt helpful discoveries yet announced in connexion with the treatment of cancer. Dr. Moppett's investigations revealed that X-ray. waves of slightly different lengths have widely divergent effects upon living tissues. It is not unlikely, when this fact is recognised, that considerable improvement in the design of X-ray machines for therapeutic purposes will ensue.
