" Greater Than Insulin "
Dr. Forbes Godfrey, Ontario Minister of Health, revealed at a dinner of medical men that Dr. F. G. Banting, discoverer of insulin (TiME, Aug. 27), would shortly announce a new discovery " of even greater importance than the world-famed diabetes treatment." Dr. V. E. Henderson, of the pharmacological department of the University of Toronto Medical School, confirmed this with the words " Dr. Banting had something so good we couldn't believe it." Dr. Banting himself refused to talk. Until the new experiments have been repeated several times and the results thoroughly verified, the public will probably have to remain in suspense. It is understood that the , " marvelous thing " has to do with a physiological problem.
