Increased Toll o. Cancer
Predicted Coz Coming YaaEs


CHICAGO. - Unless progress is
made in cancer control, the disease
win kill 80 per cent more persona in
1880 than in 1910, a physician re-
ported.
DR.. Halbert L. Dunn Of the United
States public health service, writ
ing in the magazine Hygeia, pointed
out that the population would be
proportionately older in 1880.
Based on present population
trends, there win be 58,73l, 900
United States residents over IS
years Of age in 1880. compared with
IS. 104. 600 in 1910. The current death
rate from the disease would take
2s8. 500 lives in 1880 compared with
15S, 1885 in 1910.
DR.. Dunn said that early detec-
ton and treatment Of the disease
was the best known method yet for
avoiding cancer deaths, but added:
''If every diagnosis OF cancer were
made at the earliest possible date,
"A GNSAS 4AeAt elAtu WOtAAaA CdAAG0 vi
the doctor at the first symptom and
IL every doctor without fail applied
the appropriate treatment without
delay, the, maximum number Of
lives saved might be as high as two
out Of three. With the aging and
growing population Of the United
States5 this would stil leave as
many deaths from cancer in 1880
as in 1910.
The real victory in the cancer
battle, probably. win come from, q
vast research program aimed al
the nature Of cancer itself. This
calls for large sums Of money and
for thousands Of research brains. -
