    Describes the 'paradox that one of the causes of the increase of cancer is the general increase of health in the community!' which results in a larger elderly population. Also suggests that it 'seems growingly likely' that cancer 'proceeds from a microbe', and 'by the analogy of tuberculosis' it might therefore be found to be 'infectious and contagious'.
