For some years past physicians have
been sounding an alarm on the appa-
rent rapid Increase In cancer Their
argument Is based upon the official
mortality statistics of various coun-
tries. which seem 10 show that the
number of deaths from malignant tn
mors IS becoming greater. IS not only
absolutely and in proportion to the in
crease of population, but also Ia pro-
portion 10 the deaths from all causes.
Thus in England in 1890 the death
rate from cancer was nearly sixty
eight per one hundred thousand of the
population, and In 1890 it was almost
eighty-three per one hundred thousand.
The ratio of deaths from cancer 10
those from all causes in persons over
thirty-fYe years Of age was one out
of twenty In 1890, but in 1900 1t was
one out of twelve. The publication Of
these figures has created q feeling Of
great uneasiness In England. and many
theories have been put forward to
account for them. But as a matter
of fact, the condition Is probably not
so bad as 1t appears to be. Figures are
VIGOROUSLY misleading, and those on
the prevalence of canoe are doubtless
no exception to the rule. In the first
place vital statistics are becoming
more accurate with each year, and
figures are now returned from places
whence none came ten years ago.
physicians are acquiring con-
stantly greater accuracy In diagnosis,
and many deaths which would former
~ have been returned as from some
other cause are now put down to can
Ger. Another fact which softens
somewhat the terrifying aspect of
statistics is that the general
of life is increasing, and there
more people live TO the age at
cancer commonly appears.
These facts cannot, however. explain
away all the figures, and 1t is un-
1oubtedly true that cancer is increas-
Ing more or less rapidly. But there is
a bright side to this, as TO nearly all
for the very fact Of It's increase
has drawn the attention Of scientific
investigators in all countries TO can
Ter, and each is wing with the other
IN the attempt TO solve the mystery
Of the disease and TO discover a mean
TO abate its rayages.
