DON'T NEGLECT
CANCER SIGNS,
SAYS BULLETIN

The federal health service, rein
forcing advice issued by state health
boards and the American society for
the Control of Cancer has prepared
a cancer circular for public dlstrl-
button. 1t declares that one out or
every ten persons over 40 years OF
ace dies OF cancer. While the great
war cost the United States about
10000 lives, cancer in the same two
years claimed 100000 people in this
country.
The government agency warns
that cancer is unquestionably in
creasing in America and through
out the world in spite OF the fact
that it is durable if treated early.
"a the beginning cancer is usu-
ally painless and difficult to detect,
the new bulletin points out. AT
its first small growth it can be safe
" and easily removed by compe-
tent surgeon. Cancer is not a con-
stitutional or blood disease, is not
contagious, and is practically speak
inc, not hereditary. Persistent alb
normal discharge or bleeding is sus-
picious. Sores cracks decorations,
Jumps and ulcers which do no heal,
and warts, moles, or birthmarks which
change in size, color or appearance,
may turn into cancer unless treated
and cured. Persistent indigestion in
middle life, with loss of weight and
change of color, or with pain, vomit-
ing or diarrhoea, calls for thorough
and competent medical advice as to the
possibility OF internal cancer A doc
tor who treats a suspicious symptom
without making thorough examina-
ton does not know his business.
The bulletin emphasizes that no
medicine will cure cancer and that
early diagnosis is all important.
Pain rarely gives the first warning.
Advertising quacks and patent
medicines. claiming phenomenal
course, low up like like a ray OF hope
to the afflicted" continues the fed
eral bulletin. "a matter of fact
their treatment invariably aggra-
Yates instead of helping and when
competent physicians are finally con-
suited the case is really beyond any
hope or recovery or a. esst.'
/ This circular, entitled " cancer,
