Diabetes and Insulin

Gentlemen.I very deeply appreciate the honour which you have conferred upon me in awarding the Nobel Prize for 1923 to me and Professor J.J.R.Macleod.I am fully aware of the responsibility which rests upon me to deliver an address in which certain aspects of the work on insulin may be placed before you.This I propose to do today and I regret that an earlier opportunity has not been afforded me of satisfying this obligation.
