THE STUDY OF CANCER.
1t is Now Recognized as Disease of Middle
or Advanced Life.

ever, is not doubted by those in
formed of the strenuous efforts being
made in every country by earnest and
trained investigators. All over the
world institutions have been estab-
lished for cancer research. One of
this sort has existed in Buffalo, New
York, for over ten years; the disease
is being studied by commission in
Massachusetts, by another in Eng
land; there are also institutes for
the study of cancer in Berlin, Frank
fort and Heidelberg in Germany, and
an international society has been es-
tablished and meets regularly for the
comparing of results.
The results thus far, from the point
of view of the layman, have not been
found, great deal has been learned
about the nature of cancer. The
cause of it has not yet been definitely
established. But the study has been
Systematically prosecuted for only a
decade, and despite the paucity of re.
suits, the outlook is promising.
Twenty years ago a man who pro-
phesied the freeing Of Havana from

THE TURN IN THE LANE.


How often we picture the possible day
When fortunes viii camp on our trail,
When, biz with enough, we can rest from
the fray,
Be safe from advereity's gale.
We picture a future Of roseate hue,
Fair skies never dampened with rain,
And great is our scheming Of what we
win do
when We get to the turn in the lane.
Ali bright are the dreams AZ we sit at our
ease,
And the leaves Of the future unfold,
When our ship comes a-sailing from over
the seas
AL freighted with coveted gold.
What fancies 60 dancing on shimmering
feet
Through the intricate halls Of the brain,
OF joys Of existence unspeakably sweet,
When we get to the turn Of the lane.
We gaze far away through the vistas Of
To the beacon Of hope on the hill,
And vow to ourselves we viii ceaselessly
To the summit with resolute will.
With firm resolution wen do and well
dare,
VIII laugh at priyations and pain,
Then revel In ease that's awaiting us there,
When we get to the turn Of the lane.
But fancy is tickle and fortune Is shy,
And leads us merry old chase;
We grapple at chances and from us
they fly,
Too deyilishly swift for our pace.
Our souls in the sanguine pursuit may be
brave,
Our muscles we painfully strain,
Perhaps but to sink with our hopes in the
grave
That waits at the end Of the lane.

Many skeptical and practical" per-
sons are prone to scoff at the alleged
progress in medical science. They
admit that the average span of life
has been heightened, and that the
fearful infant mortality of the last
and previous centuries has been ma
terially reduced; but this, they say, is
the result of the Improvement in hy-
giene effected as much by sanitary
engineers and sociologists as by med
ical investigators.
They cast up against medicine the
fact, admitted by all, that cancer is
on the increase, forgetting that this
may be due in part to the saving of
life in the early years, the result Of
which is that more live to reach the
cancer age.
Cancer is disease of middle or
advanced life; and if more people
live to the time when they are liable
to suffer from cancer, it is evident
that more will suffer from the dis
ease.
Medical science has discovered the
cause Of the mode of propagation Of
malaria and yellow fever, and has
freed, or made it possible to free, the
tropical regions of the world from
these terrible scourges. 1t has dis
covered a remedy which has robbed
diphtheria of most of it's terrors. and
another which has reduced the NOR
tally of cerebrospinal meningitis
from eighty to twenty-five per cent.
and promises to reduce it even fur
Their, and to do away with the terrible
sequels of the disease which formerly
made recovery almost worse than
death. 1t has not yet conquered tu-
berculosis, but it is in fair way to
do so, and, what is more, it is teach
ing the public how to avoid the dis
ease.
It has not vet solved the problem
Of cancer That it will do Sc, how
