CANCER DEATHS ARE INCREASING How to Prevent and Cure the Disease. G ANCER is on the increase. This is a sad fact, but it is true. The accompanying cut shows how cancer in the United States has increased from 1900 to 1915. That it is not a dis- INCREASING CANCER DEATH RATE. Per )00.000 Population 1900-1915. ease of children or young people is shown by the second cut, wherein it will be seen that cancer does not really become a serious problem until we pass the age of 40 or 45. Beginning at 25 years of age, the death rate increases about 300 per cent every ten years for nearly four ten-year periods, and even after that it continues to increase very rapidly. This increasing death rate is altogether unnecessary. While we may not know all we should like to know about the exact cause of cancer, or some infallible get-well-quick scheme for its cure, we do know much about the cause, and know how to cure at least 9 cases out of 10. Proper treatment taken in time is the only cure. The great trouble with cancer is that it usually begins as a painless innocent-looking swelling or lump that can be moved about, or a bleeding place which attracts little attention. Cancer is not usually painful until its late stages. If it were painful in its early stages it would doubtless lead many to visit a good doctor or surgeon to have the trouble promptly remedied. Cancer is now recognized as a preventable disease. It is more easily prevented than cured. Cancers usually result where there has been a bruise or a continued irritation, as from a corset stay on the breast, a pipe stem on the lips, a broken tooth on the tongue, a pinch of snuff or a chew of tobacco on the cheeks, or ill-fitting spectacles on the nose.
