He prediets | that the greatest advance in medi- cal science will be the successful combating of tuberculosis and can- cer, and the reduction of infant | mortality to almost nothing. The last 25 years, Dr. Salceby says, has seen medical science de- velop more than in centuries be- fore, but he points out that this has been brought about by very limited numbers of medical men and eclentists, drawn largely from Germany, Austria and the Uhlted States. He believes that today all the medical men of the world are vitally interested in perfecting the science of national health and that | the result of this international am- bition will be a perfect system of combating disease. The latest methods used to pre- vent tuberculosis have already pro- vided for a gradual decline in the number of tuberculosls victims for the tuture and, once health officers have been able to stop the spread of the disease, Dr, Saleeby believes it will rapidly disappear. The attack on cancer presents greater difficulties, and only the most elementary steps have been made %o far toward combating it, but Dr. Saleeby predicts that an-| other ten years will find ecience in | a position to begin an international | movement to eradicate cancer. | Dr. Saleeby, who las been the leading exponent of the campa to lower infant mortality in F | 1and, has ‘figures to show that the ratio in England and Wales has de- creased from one in seven in 19 to one in 14 In 1923.
