Doctor's Statement.
Dr. McCann says:
‘•Insulin is not a cure. It is. how
ever, in our experience a specific
remedy fcr diabetes, which has al
ready saved many lives and has alle
viated much suffering from the dis
ease. Its effects are only temporary,
leaving the fundamental condition of
the disease unchanged. The discov
erer of insulin, Dr. Banting, has al
ways been very careful not to make
the claim that insulin cures diabetes.
