For a to very long time, after we began stand erect, we were physically ac-- j tive. We hunted, cleared forests, we attended flocks. We did everything, perhaps, except to sit at desks, ride in motor cars, eat white bread and other bad food, Such activity and such food caused be- .good drainage. I am inclined to lieve that the average duration of life than it , in ancient times was greater be-- t is now, but if it was not it was cause of perils with which modem science is prepared to combat. The same rice field that keeps the coolie s drainage good produces the malaria coolie germ that kills him. The knows how to eat, but we dont, and we know how to stop malaria, but he doesnt. We shall never begin at the be-- I ginning, in our fight against cancer, and eat the food of some of the lowly well people of Asia, but we may as know what it is. It begins with bread made from flour ground between two stones by hand. The flour is coarse and all there nothing is sifted out to make it whiter, This flour is moistened with water and made into little cakes. The cakes are placed, one by one, on a flat iron surface that is heated by a charcoal fire. When the cake is scorched on one side it is turned over with forceps and scorched on the other. It is then ready to eat. With this cake are eaten raw vege-- i tables. A favorite vegetable is the radish which, in that part of the world, grows as large as ones forearm. The natives also eat sugar cane, swallowing some of the fiber. The first thing that one notices about this diet is that it has bulk. Bulk is necessary to elimination. Part of our trouble is that we shun bulk. bread and die of cancer have nobody to blame but themselves. What we should do, then, if we would avoid cancer, is to eat wholewheat bread and raw fruits and veg- etables, shunning all meat, first that we may be better nourished, second that we may more easily eliminate waste products and thus adequately drain the house in which our cells live. difficult do is to The best effect as favorable a compromise as possible. Each person can say for himself how far he is willing to go to avoid cancer. Whoever, foregoes white bread will perform a great service for himself. It is deadly. Having done the best we can to avoid bad foods and get good ones, there still remains the' problem of sure, adequate drainage. Exercise a helps. Walk two or three hours Not day. How many will do it? many, I fear. If not, the problem of bad drainage remains. What are we to do? Should simple measures of diet and habit fail, the freeing of the intestinal canal by operation restores its mechanics to the condition in which it existed in infancy. The effects are what I expected. Men and women are transformed. Their very nature seems to change. They become .bright and happy and well. Not only do the particular ills of which they minor disappear, but complain troubles go with them. The medical world has striven harder and harder to discover the cause and cure. The labratory workers have had long innings and they have very little indeed to show for it. Meanwhile, the indications of what causes cancer may be found, by inference, among the uncivilized tribes We eat concentrated foods.

The diet is very simple, and the habits of the people are very regular. The world, in its search for the cause and cure of cancer has been on the wrong track. The answer has been within ourselves all the time. Drain the body of its poisons, feed it properly, and the miracle is done. Chronic cancer cannot be cured. Neither can any chronic disease. But cancer can be prevented, as can all other diseases that arise from the same cause. On these statements I am willing to stake whatever reputation I may have. Nobody need have cancer who is willing to take , the trouble to avoid it. And he will feel better and enjoy life more all the time he is taking the trouble.
