    I imagine that most persons will find the most effec- tive commentary upon this and upon questions of the strength of trypsin solutions discussed by Dr. Saleeby, in a paper by Dr. Hald, of Copenhagen, published in the Lancet, November 16th, 1907, {a) in which the author shows that the so-called solutions of amylopsin actually contain an abundance of proteolytic ferment, and in which paper also the author independently establishes the potency of British tryptic preparations. Yours faithfully, J. A. Shaw-Mackenzie, M.D.Lond. [We have already accepted the evidence in favour of Dr. Shaw-Mackenzie’s priority of claim to the trypsin treatment of cancer as established. Dr. Saleeby has not favoured us with a copy of his book for review.—Ed. M.
