Better Health
by Dr. Logan CIendening

TIVE medical profession has
been preaching for nearly
so years that the great majority
of cancerous growths are cur
able if steps are taken early.
One would think that this was
a fairly easy and advantageous
health rule to follow.
II is literally true that month
by month the possibility of COM
plete removal of any form of
these new gr0wttIS d1TTInIs1es
in a definite arithmetical pro-
gression.
II is also true that the great
majority of these growtf1s are
local at first and only become
generaliZed later on. Why. then,
should any one delay treatment
at the earliest possible time?
The American Society for the
Control of Cancer has collected
some figures which show where
the responsibility lies.
In a series of 15S cases in
which the patient presented
himself too late for successful
treatment, the patient was re-
sponsible in SIS per cent, the
physician in II per cent. and
both patient and physician were
responsible in the remaining,
over u per cent.
The average delay in this
series was eight and one-half
months. That is, delay in start
ing treatment after the condi-
ton could have been diagnosed
adequately.
COME Of the figures are IL
~ Eliminating. In cancer of the
face and skin the patient was
responsible in u per cent Of
cases, the physician was respon-
sible for delay in no cases. and
both physician and patient were
responsible for delay IN 5 per
cent Of cases: the average
period of delay was over u
months.
In breast cancer the patient
was responsible in 1S per cent
Of cases, the physician alone
was responsible in 3 per cent.
and the physician and patient
were responsible in 2 per cent:
the average delay was II
months.
Reasons for the delay were:
The patient did not consider the
symptoms serious enough. This
occurred in more than one-half
OF cases. Pure negligence ac-
counted for II per cent of de-
lays, expense for 10 per cent.
fear of cancer, l per cent. fear
of doctors III per cent, treat
ment by cultists who promised
non-operative treatment, Ia
per cent.
/ am not surprised that delay
occurred in a large number OF
cases of cancer of the stomach
and Of the large bowel. These
begin so insidiously that / have

weighed more than that at
birth. I will check on II.

The small party felt helpless
against such a number. and gave
up without fight. Mohammed Sc
noussi, the chief, learned that
rebellion had broken out against
him, and he had lost all power.
After being taken to one OF the
Kufra towns, the three Italians were
placed under guard, and Mohammed
Senoussi was ordered to appear be-
fore a judge.
You have broken one of the laws
of your religion" the Judge said to
him. you have tried to sell Kufra
to the Christian Italians. For this
we will do you no harm, because Of
the regard we have for your grand
father, Sidi Ahmed Senoussi. Peace
be on his name! But you must leave
Kufra, and not come back"
The Italian prisoners were told
that they would be shot the next
morning. They waited in dread. but
in the morning they were told that
the shooting was to be held UP for
a time. d
Some of the Arabs wanted to sell
the prisoners as slaves, but the
others would not agree. At length
Fornari was able to talk with several
of the leaders.
Instead of killing us or selling
us as slaves" he said. why don't
you hold us for ransom?"
The Arabs agreed to this plan,
and Fornari was allowed to leave
in caravan bound for Egypt Later
he made his way to Bengasi, and
obtained the needed money. The
money was sent back to Kufra, and
Fornari's companions were set free.

After the doctor had treated the
son of the Kufra chief. the party
set out on camel back for the long
desert journey to Kufra. Capt.
Aldro Fornari. leader of the Italians,
was hopeful that a treaty could be
made with the people of the five
oaseS.
What a journey 1t was! Time and
again there were sandStorms, and
the travellers saved themselves only
by lying down beside their camels
and covering their noses with pieces
of cloth.
While struggling across the sand
members of the party saw in the
distance close to 100 mounted men.
They are from Kufra," said the
chief,
'=TThey have come to welcome usi"
exclaimed Fornari.
The chief was right, but Fornari
was wrong. When the mounted men
came close enough for their voices
to carry. they leyeled their rifles and
called out an order to surrender!

and then declarer led a diamond
from dummy. West gathered in two

round, and when the clubs did not
break declarer was down one.
AS a matter of fact there were
two criminals in this deal, although
ones crime was greater than the
others. Do you see who they we're
and what were their crimes?
With the spade ace as a quick
entry, West should have opened a

North had raised that suit; hence it
was very likely that Each could ruff
the first or second round. But
South's crime was far greater. He
should not have led a diamond be-

he found that he would have to
lose club trick to West he should
have thrown West in with the
fourth round of that suit, and anv
