Excerpt from The Problem of Cancer: Or the Philosophy of Malignancy This march of antecedents, in cancer has formed an intensely interesting chapter in my line of special study. For fifteen years I have been cautiously insinuating under the notice of the profession discussion of many minor and detached matters, that the thus printed word might b used in presenting an entirely new system of approach in medicine. This I have called Synthetical Medicine, and have published in the medical record, April 7, 1906. Extract from paper read before New York Academy of Medicine Section, March 26, 1908.
