A cancer research institute is to be established here, as an expression of appreciation for the cure effected by a Jewish physician.
Canning Childe, an American millionaire of New Jersey, donated $100,000 to start the research institute. A wing in the Vienna Sanitarium has been set aside for this purpose. Dr. Adolph Edelmann, who recently treated Mr. Childe, will be in charge of the institute. It was declared that Mr. Childe’s contribution is in appreciation of the satisfactory cure given him by the Vienna specialist.
