American Society Claims
Faith in Cure of Cancer
By Radium UnWarranted

risk of recurrence is gradually becom-
ing less, while the percentage Of dis
tinctly favorable results is increasing.
Mr.. Hoffman described the admi-
rable results which had followed the
campaign originally initiated in east
ern Prussia by Winter of Koenigsberg
for the instruction of all people, but
particularly of women in the early
symptoms of cancer and the value of
the earliest possible surgical and
medical treatment. In this campaign
the cooperation of the laity and the
medical profession, on the one hand,
and the press on the other, was en-
listed with excellent results. When
the campaign was started in the early
nineties the cancer death rate of
Koenigsberg had increased from 53
in 1860 to 40 in 1893. The rate con-
tinued to increase up to 1907, when it
reached a maximum of 139 per 100,-
900 of the population. Subsequent to
that year the rate gradually declined
to minimum point of 11s for the
year of 1912.
Mr.. Hoffman said the number of
deaths from cancer in Pennsylvania
during 1912 was 5426 and the death
rate in the state that year was 60
per 100000 of population, as COM
pared with the average of II for
the registration area of the United
States. The cancer death rate is dis
tinctly higher in the Eastern coun-
ties of Pennsylvania and lowest in
the western section.
In Pittsburg 368 deaths from can
Ger occurred in 1912, and the rate was
67 per 100000 of population, as COM
pared with 81 for New York City, 90
for Philadelphia, 70 for Chicago.

Pittsburg, Feb. A. Warning
against blind faith in the cure OF
cancer by radium was given here to-
night by representatives of the
American Society for the control Of
cancer, speaking at a meeting in Sol
diers' memorial hall.
According to the speakers, radium
has probably been shown to exert a
definitely curative effect on certain
of the moderately malignant and su-
perficial cancers of the skin, mouth
and other readily accessible mucous
membranes, provided that u is applied
while the disease is still local and In
the early stages.
Radium definitely relieves suffering
used in the advanced stages of deep
er seated cancers; but in those cases
it improves only the visible OF tangi-
bic manifestations and eXerts
no effect upon the dissem-
mated disease as a whole.
IL Is DellcVou IldC lleIc lS dS yeI IlO
proof that radium has finally cured
any one case of advanced and dissem-
mated cancer.
Statistical evidence to support the
advice and warning to seek early op-
erative treatment was presented by
Mr.. Frederick L. Hoffman, statistician
of the Prudential Insurance Com
pany. According to Mr.. Hoffman the
recorded experience. of the best hos
pitals goes to show that earliest pos
sible operation for cancer seems to
offer the only hope for cure. These
records are distinctly encouraging,
and prove conclusively that at least
the initial loss of life in such opera
tions is very low. The statistics of
private practice also prove that the
