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

III - Not surgery, put OeIdyeu our
gerry, That Fails to Cure"
That cancer Is at first local growth
and not a general disease Of the sys-
tenn Is now clearly established. This
fact is Of the utmost Importance, since
In holds out high hope of cure IL the
malignant growth Is removed before
It has time to 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 It has a chance to spread from its
nrst foothold.
The reason why so many people
came to believe that cancer was o
blood disease Is doubtless because II
VIVA observed TO come again In the
same or other parts of the body after
ndNlIk Detu uIDdiNhtig WI 'NA' ~
was natural TO assume that when thu
disease kept coming back in this man
ner there must be some cause or taini
In the blood which led to its breaking
out In different places much Ike 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 1t 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 ap-
pearance Is neglected. Modern sur
eeons are, therefore. repeatedly sue
cessful In removing the disease once
for all. As an eminent American
doctor has well said. "It Is not surgery,
but delaJed surgery. that falls to cure"
