Such circumspection was invaluable to Dr. Connell. Immediately after publication of this report in the C. M. A. Journal came this snort from arch-cynic Dr. Francis Carter Wood, director of Manhattan's Institute of Cancer Research: "Nothing in Dr. Connell's results, as published, contains anything which could not have occurred spontaneously.
