CORSET-CANCER IS'THE
LATEST DREAD DISEASE

LONDON. April 9.-Writing to the Lancet
DR.. r. c. Lucas adds a new count to the
indictment against the corset-namely
that under certain circumstances lit may
be responsible for cancer. Three cases
have come under the doctors notice in
which cancer in women started at a point
where the edge of the corset crosses the
edge of the big muscle of the chest. In
describing two of them he says: 1T oc-
CURED on the right side in each case. and
in women whose occupations led them
to undue use of the right arm and in con-
sequence to the excessive friction of the
upper edge of the corset. The friction of
the corset at this spot is, therefore, the
cause of a cancerous process developing
in this situation and to express this fact L
have given il the name of corset-cancer."
