Abstract
PROF. WASHINGTON YOBKE knew before the end of last year that he had an inoperable cancer which would be fatal within a few months. Despite this knowledge, he undertook a mission to the United States on behalf of the Medical Research Council and returned with valuable information. Also he undertook to give the Croonian Lecture at the Royal- Society on July 15 in the hope that he would live long enough to accomplish it. The title of the Lecture was to be : “Recent Developments in Chemotherapy with Special Reference to Tropical Medicine”.
