the true theory must explain all the

Edward III. Hartman has been cut of
in his prime, and the loss of one of the
nations presidents from this cause

facts ii may be said that cancer is the
direst blight of humanity and every
new prospect of the discovery of its
real nature. its cause, and consequent
ly its cure, is profoundly alluring.
The late eminent DIR. Nicholas Sem

quest-a search far more important

pole. After visiting all classes of man

of the mental condition, and while op.
posing the meat diet as a cure for
cancer, | am glad to acknowledge that
DR.. Salisbury has shown the absurdity
of the claim that there is any virtue in
vegetarianism, per Sc.
DR.. w. Roger Williams says in the
Twentieth Century Practice of Medi.
cine:-'Of 1874 cancer patients, 80 had
been moderate, rs small, and 16 large
meat eaters-not a single vegetarian
and only a few great eaters OF vegeta-
bles." Ii does not follow that meat
uses cancer, as many suppose. Prob
ably the SO moderate meat eaters in
dulged in greater variety than the rs
small meat eaters.
Davidson, in his Geographical Path
ology," says that cancer is entirely
absent in Central Africa, Gold Coast,
New Caledonia. Persia, Jamaica, Gui-
ana and among other primitive tribes
which are either cannibal or are VERY
SIMPLE IN THEIR DIET" This re.
flutes alike the meat and the vegetable
theory and confirms the '~nutriopathic''
theory.
DR.. j. H. Kellogg holds that cancer
is due to eating neat. 1T has long
been recognized" he says, that can
Ger seldom appears in persons who
abstain from flesh. 1t is very rare
among the vegetarian natives of India.
A physician who %practiced for many
years among the natives of Tierras

almost wholly upon tropical fruits and
other vegetables, say he never saw a

This is no doubt true, but it is
equally true that the natives of Green.
land and cannibals generally are prac,
tically immune from cancer, according
to DR.. Sem, but not because they alb
stain from vegetables.
There is a persistent popular belief,
in this country and in England. that
tomatoes cause cancer. Tomatoes
cause cancer only in the same sense
in which beans or meat cause it. Veg.
etarians are less liable than meat
eaters.
Evidently not any one food, but ex-
cessive and indiscriminate mixing. to-
| gether with abnormal mental states is
the general cause. And the remedy is
clearly indicated, though requiring
skill in its application; a gradual res
toration of normal nutrition through
the application OF the principle of the
monodiet, in harmony with normal
mental conditions.
Since this article was put in type,
DR.. Bashford, of the Cancer Research
Institute. London, has given the results
of his recent Investigations into the
cause Of cancer. He says it is not hered.

Anne RIGA, the tendency to abnormal
proliferation is great, especially if the
exercise is not sufficient TO maintain
normal katabolism, or breaking down
and renewal of cells, SO as to provide
a normal use for the elaborated cell
material.
Why, ii will naturally be asked, are
women more subject to cancer han
are men? Woman is more delicately
constituted and under the same condi.
tons is more easily disorganized. The
fact that those organisms are more
frequently the location Of ~cancerous
tumors which are subject to period
ical growth, whose growth is vari-
able and therefore more easily disor-
%ganized, when the conditions are ia
vorable to cancer, harmonizes with the
general principle Of causation.
Prof. Metchnikoff arrived at the
conclusion that auto-intoxication, self
poisoning by the absorption of the
waste products of superfluous foods, is
the chief cause of physical decay, a
theory presented before, but the rem
edy for which he found in buttermilk,
which prevents the development of
certain pathogenic germs in the colon.
A close relation exists between auto
intoxication and cancer, and it can be
readily shown that as each food re-
quires special adaptation tor it's diges-
ton, so the waste of each food re-
quires special adaptation for elimina-
ton, and that the natural preventive
of auto-intoxication is the simplifica-
ton of food.
The statistics on cancer, which have
been published for half q century in
England and America. are elaborate
beyond the requirements of any sys-
tematic investigation. and the many
thousands of catalogued experiments
made upon animals leave nothing to
be done that al throw Iurther light
upon the problem.
Leblanc. an eminent Partisan yeter-
mary authority on cancer, says that
the dog, cat and pig are the animals
most subject to cancer, that the
chances OF recovery are slight when
the knife and cauterization are used,
and that c~arnivorous animals will be
much more likely to recover if kept on
a strict vegetable diet. These animals
vary most in domestication from their
natural diet. | think their chances
would be better on a purely meat diet.
The important point is that the diet
should not be mixed. 1t is interesting
in this connection to note that DR..
Salisbury, originator of the meat
cure held that an exclusive diet of
meat, little cooked, would cure cancer.
1t doubtless would IL the patient would
not die from resulting auto-intoxica-
ton. An ardent follower of DR.. Sails
bury says: Cancers are durable, but
they require such close attention, such
careful watching that the patient
would have to be under the daily and
most vigilant care OF one that has had
experience in handling the disease.
There are so many little things to do

and physical condition all in perfect
