that cancer In man had to do with the abnor-
NAL function of the sex hormones. This alb
normal manufacture might result in the for
nation not only of normal sex hormones, but
also small amounts Of bad hormones.' struc-
turally allied substances causing cancer This
possibility is so important that 1t warrants
completely the serious investigation now in
progress"
Right now there is no magical diet that
can be eaten to ward off cancer. However.
this is the ultimate goal Of many workers in
this field.
Through work with animals special diets
have been discovered which prevent cancer
caused by certain types Of the coal tar chem-
calls And very recently it has been found that
perhaps biotn found widely in the body in
small amounts, has the power to break down
the protective effect of the diet that fortifies
the animals against experimental cancers.
BY adding the fortifying food factors, ex-
perimental cancers can be prevented in these
animals at will
This means that, for the first time, at
least one food element of the human diet
seems to be related to at least one form of
cancer-not In humans-but in experimental
animals. NJ
The final conquest of cancer may be far
distant but the pattern OF attack becomes
clearer and more hopeful.
And in the meantime there is no need for
anyone to stand idly by Everyone should
have periodic health examination so that
cancer can be detected early IL IL is present
Remember more than $4,000 people have
been cured of cancer.
The early diagnosis of cancer is the way
to win the battle now, until the day when
the final conquest will surely come.

chemical that in the test tube, strikes at inc
cells found in cancer of the breast and 1t does
so with somewhat less harm to any normal
body cells so far tested.
This chemical whose name and nature are
being kept secret until more is known about
It. has proved successful in laboratory ex-
periments on human cancer tissue. 1t Is not
suitable for use with cancer patients but 1t
is hoped that some chemical like it-only
less toxic to the body-will eventually come
along to do the final job Of conquering the
disease.
You can pour carbolic acid or some other
strong chemical on cancer cells and destroy
them but you would be killing normal cells
of the body too. That is why they cannot
be used in cancer treatment
What doctors are searching for is some
drug that possesses a differential effect; has
a greater lethal action on cancer cells than,
on those of the normal body tissue.
While such work advances, progress comes
from other directions also.
Surgery and radiation treatment do their
job, ever better and better.
Surgical skill is rising and, most i'm

place, for cancer cells start as normal cells
and then turn Wild unruly and outside the
laws which govern the body.
Vast research programs costly, laborious
and tedious are being carried out to solve the
menace of cancer.
But while this slow work is making its
ponderous progress, doctors are not over
looking the need for haste. They are fully
aware that among the several hundreds of
thousands of drugs and chemicals known to
man there may already exist the magic
cure for cancer which they seek, and which
may some day strike down cancer cells with
out harming the rest of the body.
If shooting in the dark for a cancer cure
seems a waste of time. we must recall that
the disease Of pernicious anemia was invari-
ably fatal back in 1925. Yet in 1926 it became
completely controllable when doctors discov-
cred that the feeding of liver and liver ex-
tracts was the key to the treatment Of the
disease.
Even now, in 1912 medical science is still
pretty much in the dark as TO what causes
pernicious anemia and why liver affords the
cure.
That is why doctors are willing to say:

GOD news comes from the battlefront
M where medical science is attacking the
49, problems of cancer and seeking to find
its cause and its cure.
Here is the last minute communque IN
this war against one of mans greatest killers.
/. Chemicals are being discovered which
attack. by stranguation, human cancer cells
without doing an equal amount of harm TO
normal body tissues so far studied.
2 For the first time food element in the
daily diet of man has been linked with pro-
lection against experimental cancer
No neither the cause nor the cure of
cancer is yet known but the new advances
point to hopeful future.
Very recently Dr. c. p Rhoads director of
New York's Memorial Hospital for Cancer Re-
search and the Treatment of Allied Diseases,
reviewed two years of progress in cancer
research at Memorial and at leading centers
like Harvard Cornell Johns Hopkins and
similar medical schools. So clear and out
standing was his report, and so hopeful It's
outlook that il is believed the facts can
and should be made clear to the public.
It IL automatic to say that crime is a
cancer on the face of society
The parallel is apt for cancer cells are wild,
gangster cells in the human body that are
outside the law"
By some yet-unknown cause the normal
cells of the body turn wild on occasions and
have an uninhibited growth in kind OF Or.
Jekyll and Mr. Hyde transformation.
BY thinking of cancer cells as gangsters
and outside the law, just as criminals are
in ordinary life. you can better appreciate
the three methods by which scientists are
now seeking TO conquer cancer.
One way TO try and solve the criminal
and gangster problem in civil life is to parole
the criminals and hope to aid them to return
to a normal, lawful way of living. With
some first offenders and the younger crimi-
nails parole is sometimes successful but for
hardened, old-time criminals with long rec
ords, parole is only Intellectual.
So. too il is with cancer cells in the body.
Regarding hardened cells the parole method
for cancer is very unsuccessful, even less so
than in civilian life.
For really desperate criminals society finds
its best weapon lies either in life imprison.
ment or in the death penalty.
In cancer treatment with radiation it is
sometimes found that something like life i'm
prisonment occurs. Scar tissue is formed
around the tumor and the malignant cancer
cells are sealed in a prison.
But because cancer cells are much more
clever than humans at escaping prison walls.
the surest way to tackle these criminals Of
the body is the death penalty.
In medicine the death penalty for cancer
cells means surgery or radiation by X-rays
and the rays from radium. This is very
effective way 10 treat cancer II IL can be
applied early enough so that the malignancy
of the cancer does not spread through the
rest Of the body. Often cancer can be cured
in this way.
Detroit evening times., 1942-11-08
Yes. the word is "cured."

1cS, the WORD IS CUICU
On file with The American College of Sur
geons are more than $4,000 cured" cases of
cancer, carefully documented and proven as
five-year cures.
The final way that society attacks its
criminal problem is to try and change the en-
vironment so that gangsters and killers are
not created in the first place. N.4Nk
Settlement houses in the slums police boys
clubs. and social service workers all seek
to regulate the growth of the Dead End Kids
who may later become the neighborhood bull
lies and petty thieves that turn into the
gangsters and gun men of the future.
And so it appears to be with cancer cells.
BY the discovery of a proper diet and nutri-
ton we know that one form Of animal cancer
cell can be prevented from forming in the first

increasing so that this skill can be more
widely distributed throughout the nation.
Moreover, a constant educational campaign
within the medical profession itself has maze
the ordinary family doctor much more aware
of the early diagnosis of cancer than ever
before. This means that each year more and
more cases Of cancer are being discovered
More cancer cases look bad on mortality
tables and in the death statistics OF the pub
lie health records. But doctors are quite
willing that this apparent rise in cancer
should occur for they know that much OF
the increase comes because doctors are spot
ting cases of cancer earlier than ever before
What causes the Transformation of normal
cells into cancer cells?
The answer is by no means certain bit
valuable hints TO the answer are now known.
Their recounting is a fascinating story that
goes back nearly 200 years and that illumi-
mates the wide and diversified paths into
which cancer research can lead.
Back in 1855 a British physician, Percival
Pott suggested that cancer of the skin among
his chimney sweep patients might be caused
by contact with the tarry. black dust they
swept from their chimneys.
All this was interesting. but OF seemingly
little Importance to human cancers outside
OF those found in chimney sweeps and other
persons working with coal tar chemicals.
More than $50 years later, however, other
scientists were beginning to discover and in
vestigate the sex hormones Of the body.
Gradually they isolated many Of them and
were able to purify them that, finally, an

Then came the big
surprise!
The chemical arrange
