have been proposed, the only hope
Is stu the possibility OF remov-

often serves only to hasten the end.
Recent Investigation into the effects

ganized nutrition. resulting chiefly
from complex diet and -overeating
have led me to the conclusion
that cancer is duo to abnormal cell
proliferation resulting from those
causes and that, consequently. II
