TREAT CANCER QUICKLY.
"It 10 Not Surgery, but Delayed Sur.
gerry, That Fails to Cure"


That cancer is at first local growth
and not general disease of the sys-
TEN Is now clearly established. This
fact is of the utmost Importance. since
In holds out high hope of cure If the
malignant growth Is removed before
1t has time 10 spread to other parts Of
the body. Cancer beginning in one spot
later appears elsewhere. because small
particles or cells are carried away
from the first site and start other
growths. not because there exists pre-
viously some poison in the blood which
causes the disease to break out In
different parts of the body. The great
hope of cure, therefore, lies in remov-
ing cancer entirely from the system be-
fore 1t has a chance to spread from its
first foOthold.
The reason why so many people
came to believe that cancer was q
blood disease Is doubtless because It
was observed to come again In the
same or other parts of the body after
having been apparently cut out 1t
was natural to assume that when the
disease kept coming back In this man
ner there must be some cause or faint
in the blood which led to its breaking
out in different places much like GER
tain skin diseases.
The trouble which started this falla-
cious reasoning was that in those
earlier days cancer was not so well
understood as II now Is. Surgeons
then did the best they knew how. but
without the advantages of modern
methods they were unable successfully
to exterminate the disease. The micro
scope has now shown us the paths by
which cancer cells start their invasion
Of the body II the first and local APP
pearance is neglected. Modern sur
geons are. therefore, repeatedly sue
cessful In removing the disease once
for all. As an eminent American
doctor has well said. 1T Ia not surgery.
but delayed surgery. that fails to cure"

B0NAPARTE AS A CENSOR
French Emperor Suppressed Almanach
de Gotha, Which Mentioned
Oeposed Princes.

The German Almanach de Gotha
published two editions in 1908, and the
first Of these, which was suppressed
by order of Napoleon, is now worth
considerably more than its weight in
gold. The suppression, says the Pail
Mall Gazette. took place because the
editor had included in the section de-
voted to reigning sovereigns a number
of German princes deposed by the
French emperor. From that year un-
til 1914 the proofs had to be sub
m!tted to the French authorities be-
fore publication.
The revised edition of 1903 contains
a curious collection of portraits. Ma

the inscription:
