FIGHT CANCER
WITH KNOWLEDGE
Slogan for Control OF
This Disease, Says
DR.. r. FL. Riley

In accordance with the slogan
Of the national organization,
Fight Cancert With knowledge
the Maryland division of the
Women's Field Army of the Amer
lean Society for the Control of
Cancer, is stressing the import
ance of the. early recognition and
prompt treatment of the disease
under competent medical direc-
ton. In calling attention to the
campaign, Dir. R. III. Riley, Direc-
tor Of the State Department of
Health said: THE Field Army is
rendering great service in
transferring the emphasis from
fear to facts, and in showing that
the possibility of a favorable out
come depends upon prompt treat
ment under authoritative medical
direction.
In MARYLAND, as in every other
part of the country. cancer is a
leading cause of death among the
middle-age and older age groups.
There are certain danger signals
which give warning of the pres
ence of the disease while it is in
the early stages, and when there
is a possibility of arresting it or
of bringing it under control. Au-
thorities agree that a complete
physical examination at regular
intervals, by well trained physi-
clan. experienced in detecting
such signals. is one of the best
safeguards against the unsuspect-
ed invasion of cancer. Should the
more apparent symptoms develop,
competent medical advice should
be sought at once. Special atten-
ton should be paid Immediately
to the following:
ANY persistent lump or thicken-
ing, especially in the breast.
ANY irregular bleeding or dis
charge from any body openings.
Any sore that does not heal
particularly about the tongue. the
