Some Causes Of Cancer.

Recent Investigations point to the
conclusion that one of the causes of
cancer is improper food and drink,
says Leslie's Weekly. That cancer
of the lips anu mouth are caused BY
excessive smoking is now a fact es.
tabNsi1ed by the case of Gen. Grant
and others, and it has been intimated
that cancer microbes have been found
in certain vile smelling foreign
cheeses. for which some fashionable
people profess to have a great liking.
So far as the malady, is traceable to
causes like these the remedy to be .ap,
piled is simple and easy, viz, to smoke
moderately, if at all. and to let all
moldy and decayed articles OF food
alone, no matter if gourmets pretend
to- like then.f :: -
