Predicts Big Advance
in Medical Science
London.—Twenty-five years hence
tuberculosis will be exterminated in
the 'British dominions, or be as uncom
mon' as leprosy is today, Dr. C. W.
Saleeby, spokesman for the London
Medical Institute, has declared. He
predicts that the greatest advance in
medical science will be the successful
combating of tuberculosis and cancer,
and the reduction of infant mortality to
almost nothing.
The last 26 years, Dr. Saleeby savs.
has seen medical science develop more
than in centuries before, but he points
out that this has -eeh brought about
by very limited numbers of medieal
men and scientists, drawn largely from
Germany, Austria and the United
States. He believes that today all the
medical men of tho world are vitally
interested in perfecting the science of
national health and that the result of
this international ambition will be a
perfect system of coin bating disease.
The latest methods used to prevent,
tuberculosis have already provided for
a gradual decline in the number of tu
berculosis victims for the future, and<
o nee health officers have beeu able to
atop the spread of the disease. Dr. Sa
leeby believes it will rapidly disappear.
The attack on caacer pseseats
g reater difficulties, aad only tha niost
elementary steps have been made so
far toward combating it. but Dr. Sa
leebV predicts that another ten years
will find science in a position to begin
an international mo vement toeradioate
cancer.
