 4klG WOEk VI GQkkkD&btAAAN GAttCGk is being carried on In this state by t 'enty-two clinics, fifteen of which are officially sanctioned. The re- maining seven, while not yet ace cepted, are also actively engaged in the effort to curb the development of the dread disease.
 Personnel of the clinics generally consist of members Of the stafts Of Connecticut hospitals, and every hospital in the state Is represented.
 Meetings are held weekly by each local branch of the state organiza- ton. Physicians exchange views and experiences regarding cases operat- cd upon and treated during the course of the week.
 The results of these meetings In. crease the fund of knowledge about a disease concerning which very little is known, beyond the certain ty that medical science can do little about it unless 1t is caught in It's incipient stages.
 Also part of the, work of the clinic is the dissemination of lit- erature describing the symptoms of the disease. Popular education eEn- braces one of the most significant phases in the fight against cancer, multiplying the chances of even. tual recovery.
