About 95 from cancer occur at ages over 85. At ages over, 40 one death in every ten Is due to cancer. Is cancer contagious? No, sT tar as we know. Can cancer be inherited? ' No. Is cancer a blood disease? No, and it-- should never be thought of as smllar to the veneral diseases, or as Ur njHHid ot utsooaduot or moral dlgcredlt In thb Individual of the family. How does cancer begin? It Is almost Invariably at first a local disease. Sometimes certain of the cells of which the tissues of the body are qompose begin a growth not In harmony with the growth of their fellow cells a kind of lawless coloccur on the ony In the body. It skin. In the breast, In the stomach, in the throat, on the lip, or almost anywhere else. Wherever this new growth ls in' the form of a lump that can be felt It Is easily recognized, and should be removed at oncj by a surgical operation. If not removed, it usually continues to grow and to penetrate Into the ny surrounding tissue. This penetration is the essential and fatal dicer-enc- e between harmlessrowths like warts and harmful or malignant ' growths like cancers. ' Finally a large masg of the growth Is formed and small portions become detached and are carried by the blood and lymph to other parts of the body. These cancer cells have such great vitality and survival power that they grow wherever they happen to be deposited and new cancers are the v result.' Of what significance are the facts about growth? They tell very plainly that the time .and the only time when cancer Is amenable to treatment Is while It Is still a local disease, before the process of penetrating surrounding tissues has begun. During Jhls early period, practically ecery growth can be removed, without danger, and this is the time to cure cancer. Not every new growth Is cander, but every new growth should be removed in order that none of the cancers shall escape because all growths are potential cancers.
