often serves only to hasten the end.
Recent investigation into the effects,

ganised nutrition. resulting chiefly
from complex diet and overeating,
have led me to the conclusion
that cancer 10 due to abnormal cell

Plants and animals have an organ.

certain work in the social group. At
maturity growth ceases, but organic
tissue continues to be renewed by new
cells replacing the old. In cancer,
there is = disorganization of this har-
monious growth and renewal, which

this term including not only the ap-
preparation of food, but the elabora-
ton of tissue, the elimination of waste
and the control of all the processes by
mental states. A colony of stomach
cells. for instance, is established on
the liver. gradually encroaching upon
that organ until it seriously interferes
with its functions and poisons the
blood by the secretion of abnormal
poisonous matter. Such renegade
