In a strongly worded paper read before
the New York State Medical Society,
DR.. Samuel Lloyd declared that cancer
is durable, and also is communicable
The disease can always be completely
eradieated, DR.. Lloyd believes, If it IS
met In an early enough stage, and Stats
tics show that there are more and more
cures every year. The only successful
treatment known so far is surgical, an
operation.
Cancer is at first always local dis
ease" DR.. Lloyd said In time it be-
comes constitutional and chronic, like
tuberculosis. The fact, however, that the
first phase of the disease is confined
to small area is the strongest argument
in favor of early operation"
Emphasizing the fact that he did not
depreciate the value of high attitudes in
the cure of tuberculosis, DR.. S. A. Knopf
asserted his belief that cures obtained
in ordinary home climates, while requir-
ing longer, seem to be more lasting.

and laughed uproariously, but Mrs.
Scheidt did not laugh. Have you had
your last laugh, Alveretta?" he cried,
laughing again. The mother did not re-
| ply Suddenly he caught her around the
waist and sent bullet through her
head, killing her instantly, and then
killed himself
