however, remains insufficient. On

Cancer causes thousands of pre-
ventable deaths because people do not
seek surgical treatment in time. even
after they know they have the dis
ease. Surgeons with practices so ex-
tensve that their reports furnish "a
reliable guide have shown that can
Ger patients even after discovering
some suspicious symptoms wait on
the average a whole year before they
seek treatment. To control the dis
ease with our present knowledge
the first thing to do is to eliminate
this fatal delay. To do this it is
necessary to understand why patients
are so loath to seek examination. A
misapprehension which constitutes
one reason for reluctance to consult a
physician in time, is the notion which
still prevails that cancer is a consti-
tutional disease caused by some
poison in the blood Those who hold
this mistaken opinion commonly be-
lieve that the disease is hereditary
and in a vague way they think there
must be some taint handed down
from one generation to another which
causes cancer to flourish in certain
families. Such misapprehension COM
bined with the notion which has
long prevailed that cancer is incura-
ole and that it is of no use to try to
have anything done for it. accounts
for the extraordinary delay of the
sufferer in seeking relief in some cas-
es. A further probable cause is the
fact that cancer in the early stages is
relatively painless. Many surgeon
has wished that cancer in its early
manifestations might cause the suf-
ferer half as much trouble as the
toothache, in which case the patient
would surely be driven to seek relief
in time. Cancer is at first a local
growth and not general disease of the
system. This fact is of the utmost
Importance, since it holds out the
high hope of cure il the malignant
growth is removed before it his time
to spread to other parts of the body.
Cancer appears in other places be-
cause small particles or cells are car
ried away from the first site and
start new gfbwths elsewhere. The
great hope of cure therefore lies in
removing cancer entirely from the
system before it has a chance to
spread from its first foothhld.
The reason why so many people
came to believe that cancer is a
blood disease is because it was OBJ
served to come again in the same or
other parts of the body after appar-
emily cut out. 1t was natural to as
sumo that wien the disease kept CON-
ing back in this manner there must
be some faint in the blood. The trou-
BILE was that in earlier times cancer
was not really cut out. Surgeons
then did the best they knew how, but
without the advantages of modern
methods they were unable successful
