Cure of Cancer.
Health Department Points Out
Need of Early Treatment.

Richmond, Va, May c.
Calling attention to the ap.
parently rapid increase OF can
Ger in the country, and urging
The Importance of early diagno-
sis and prompt treatment, the
State Department has in press a
special bulletin on cancer which
will be distributed during the
coming week.
Statistics are cited in the
bulletin which indicate that
cancer is rapidly becoming n
serious menace TO the country
and it is freely predicted that
unless the mortality from this
disease is decreased, cancer
will ere long claim as many
victims as all forms of tubercu.
losis combined
That cancer can only be cured
by removing all the diseased
cells, and that this can best be
done by prompt and complete
operations, is the chief point
urged by the Department
editors. Other forms of treat
ment are discussed, but the
benefits TO be derived from an
operation, in most forms of
cancers, are declared - be the
best hopes of recovery.
The one cheering note in re
bulletin is the declaration that
perhaps every cancer, in it's
early stages, can be cured by
prompt treatment. Delay, :"
declares the Department edi.
tors, "can only mean death
prompt and thorough treatment
in the beginning of the trouble,
will frequently remove all evi
donces Of the trouble before the
cancer develops ~"
A large edition of this bulle-
tin has been prepared and will
be distributed, as are all the
bulletins of the Department,
free upon request.
