EARLY DIAGNOSIS AND
REMOVAL ONLY CURE
DIR. Moon and DIR. Budd Discuss Trent
mont and Nature OF Tumors in
Medical College Lecture.

only early diagnosis and removal
can prevent disastrous results from a
harmful tumor. said DIR. 8. Il. Moon,
speaking last night in lecture room
Of the Medical College of Virginia on
The Cause and Nature of Tumors'
Skilled advice should he sought by
one so affected just as soon as the
growth makes its appearance. he said
Delay, in many cases, means certain
death.
Tumors are common" said DR..
Moon. land nearly everybody has one
or more during life. They are usually
harmless. or nearly SO, and can be re-
moved easily by the surgeon with no
return OF the growth. But some tumors
are essentially dangerous from the
first. and others NAV become SO. though
harmless in the early stages
"Rapidity Of growth is, perhaps, the
best indication of a harmful tumor.
Should tunor make its appearance,
or an old one begin to grow rapidly.
skilled advice should be sought at
once"
Tumors arc caused. DR.. Moon said,
by the outlaw life of certain body cells
1T may be stated he said, that
usually some disturbing factor, such
as age. susceptibility, mechanical In
jury. or continued irritation. possibly
by germs, upsets the ordinary life &C.
tiHity OF certain body cclls-possibly
misplaced cells-anc these cells becom-
Ing outlaws, so to speak, grow i'm an
uncontrolled manner preying upon
rather than aiding the body, and caus-
Ing deformity to greater or less de-
gree"
DR.. S. w. Budd followed DR.. Moon,
and spoke along the same general
lines. He went, however, into moro
minute details, defining in popular Ian
guage the difference between a benign
and n malignant tumor. and illustrat-
ing his lecture by lantern slides.
The lecture last night was the last
OF series OF popular science lectures
given under the auspices of the Medi-
cal College.
