As part of an extensive rehabilitation program, whose object was to restore dividends after an eight-year lapse, Pittsburgh Coal was building this spur to connect with water transportation on the Ohio River.

Nonetheless, ever since the 1880's soon after microbes were first recognized as agents of disease, investigators have tried to connect germs with cancer. Most discussed recent proponent of the germ theory has been Dr. William Ewart Gye of London, who indicated a virus. Last year Dr. Edward Watts Saunders of Cornell suggested a streptococcus...
