[“lTr« ’Dimes” Service.] CANCER. VIRUS. A GERMAN’S CLAIM. BERLIN, August 3. The “Berliner Tagcblatt” gives prominence to a -statement by Professor Keysser, a cancer expert-, alleging that lie had anticipated Dr Gve’.s ami Mr Barnard’s recent discovery, and that be has been defrauded of the fruits of His own labours, l'rofesse,’’ Keysser says that in April and May of 1923. as no German money was available for scientific research, Prolessor Ruppert negotiated with a view to obtaining English financial help for the continuance of his (Keysser’s) experiments. Professor Ruppert- gave to the English negotiators, representing the British Ministry of Health, a detailed description of Professor Keysser’s results to date, namely, that the ex' iter of cancer was a filter-passing -irus. which could not produce a tumor. unless a certain condition of cells predisposed them to that action. The scheme for English financial help fell through. Professor Keysser adds:—“While it -itnnot be proved that Dr Gye and Mr Haroard wore in any way connected with the English negotiations, it is remarkable that their' experiments •onimeiieed in June of 1923. It is unbelievable that they bad not heard if my experiments, and of my contusion that cancer is not due to operate mless a predisposed factor is present. EX-CROWN PRINCE. London. August 2.
