creascs. a fact which DR.. Alexander concludes
is due to modern refinements in the preparation
of food. Following this theory cancer would
seem 60 be hereditary in some families only be-
cause wrongful cooking methods are perpetual.
ed. Similarly, some houses get a name as
cancer houses" whereas only the kitchen is
10 blame.
Mention was made above Of DIR. Wood. Of
search. Ills lengthy study Of the disease pub.
lshed in Vol . of the latest Americana Ency.
clopedia leads TO this conclusion;
Chronic irritation is the only cause for can.
Ger which w know of. and yet it is curious
that not everyone who has chronic irritation
develops cancer. There is some peculiar per.
sonal quality in the tissue which is necessary
before a cancer will develop. An example Of
this is the fact that leg ulcers which are so very
common among old people almost never give
rise 10 cancer. There is, therefore. something
besides the liberation aud the chronic irritation
which makes the cancer start.
But is il because of a lack Of potassium
saltsf Thats the question which the savants
must worry over. What the layman will worry
over will be when he discovers that potassium
salts as dispensed by physicians, are actually
poisonous.
Accordingly. lest anybody should proceed 10
replenish his supply of potassium salts. having
believed that his skin tissue is not in the mink
of condition, it would be better TO consult a
physician than 10 ADOPT any sort of crude
methods Of meeting the deficiency. There are
heaps OF folk who wouldn't recognize a
potassium salt II they were to meet one.

CANCER AND CURES

WHILE DIR. Francis Garter Wood. director
Of cancer research at Columbia University,
lays no claim 10 knowledge of the origin
OF the disease, DIR. Frederick William Alex
andcr, Of London, medical officer Of health,
makes this striking statement;
DO not bolt your food Steam it, il you
would avoid cancer.
According 10 The London Express, DIR. Alex.
ander does not claim that medical science has
yet discovered a cure for cancer, but he de
duees from various evidence that it's most com.
mon form is caused by a deficiency Of potassium
salts in the body. This deficiency is due 10
improper cooking methods, allowing, as they
do, the potassium, the essential constituent Of
bodily tissue, TO escape dow the drain instead
of being retained for the table.
Mere than three thousand persons have died
Of cancer in the borough of Poplar, London,
during the past fwenty-one years, according Ca
the report, and every year forty thousand
deaths from the diseases are registered in Eng.
land and Wales The death rate steadily in.
