The Banting Research Foundation. • The Banting Research Foundation has met with the approval of the citi- zens of Toronto, both as expressed by the grant from the Council of the City of Toronto of $50,000, and also by the numerous subgcriptions which have been received from the teams now can- Tas!;ing In the City of Toronto.
