CANCER DECREASES. DECLARES SURGEON
Education Responsible in Pre- ventive Measures, Says
 Haggard in Convention

Fire destroys countless buildings planned and constructed by finite minds and hands. either partially or wholly, before those sustaining the loss turn in the alarm for firemans assistance, so cancers cause to crum- ble many human structures, not built by man, before the proper signal Is given" declared Dr. w. D. Haggard, professor of surgery in the college of medicine at Vanderbilt university Nashville, Tenn. in an address on "Tumors of the Breast; A Study of 25O Cases" before delegates of the Medical Association of Alabama, at the Tutwiler hotel yesterday morn ing.
 He showed that approximately one half of those suffering from cancers from five to ten years after opera tion, and stated further that those with tumors that were not cancers were on an average five years younger than those who had cancer and came to the hospital 1s months earlier after the growth begins, and that many of these innocent tumors if they had not been removed so early might have turned into cancer
 He further explained that every painless lump in the breast of a woman over 40 years old Is already or will soon become a cancer in 90 per cent of the cases, and urged that women should be educated to pre- vent these Jumps by having them taken out before coming malignant. Eleven years ago every case that came was cancer; now as result of education as to the truth about can cers, over one-half of the tumors re- moved are innocent tumors," der clared Dr. Haggard, who in conclu- sion showed that over 5,000 women died of cancer of the breasts in 1914. and that If every woman would con- suit a good doctor and have every growth removed in the very begin ming, that instead of 5000 previous lives being needlessly lost, over 1000 of them could be saved.
