March, 1945 AUXILIARY 223 Chest Physicians Cancel Meeting The American College of Chest Physicians has cancelled its annual meeting, scheduled to be held at Philadelphia, June, 1945. The Executive Council of the College voted to hold a business meeting of the Board of Regents at Chicago, June 17. AUXILIARY American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Inc. The general oral and pathology examinations (Part ii) for all candidates will be conducted at Atlantic City, New Jersey, by the entire Board from Wednesday, June 13, through Tuesday, June 19, 1945. The Hotel Shelburne in Atlantic City will be the headquarters for the Board. Formal notice of the exact time of each candidate's examination will be sent him several weeks in advance of the examination dates. Hotel reservations may be made by writing direct to the Hotel. The Office of the Surgeon-General (U. S. Army) has issued instructions that men in service, eligible for Board examinations, be encouraged to apply and that they may request orders to detached duty for the purpose of taking these examinations whenever possible. Candidates in Military or Naval Service are requested to keep the Secretary's Office informed of any change in address. Deferment without time penalty under a waiver of our published regulations applying to civilian candidates, will be granted if a candidate in service finds it impossible to proceed with the examinations of the Board. Applications are now being received for the 1946 examinations. For further information and application blanks, address Dr. Paul Titus, Secretary, 1015 Highland Building, Pittsburgh 6, Pennsylvania. National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, Inc. Scholarships for training in physical therapy under the $1,267,600 program of The National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis are available immediately for classes commencing in June and July. As a result of the increasing use of physical 'therapy in the treatment of infantile paralysis and other diseases, and because of the acute shortage of trained personnel, the National Foundation is offering these scholarships for nine to twelve months' courses in approved schools of physical therapy. The scholarships will cover tuition and maintenance in accordance with the student's needs. Candidates for National Foundation scholarships must have two years of college, including biology and other basic sciences, or be graduates of accredited schools of nursing or physical education. Applications should be made to The National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, 120 Broadway, New York 5, N. Y., or to the American Physiotherapy Association, 1790 Broadway, New York 19, N. Y. U. S. Public Health Service Division of Nurse Education The Division of Nurse Education announces that on April 9, 1945, the District No. 2 Nurse Education Consultant's office was transferred to Richmond, Virginia. All communications should be addressed o: Miss Esther A. Garrison, Nurse Education Consultant in Charge, Division of Nurse Education, U.S. public Health Service District No. 2, Rooms 703-704, State Planters Bank Building, Richmond, Virginia. GUARD THOSE YOU LOVE—GIVE TO CONQUER CANCER Cancer is the greatest cause of deaths among women, and it ranks second only to heart disease as a killer of men. It brings more suffering and grief into homes than does any other thing. It is more than three times as deadly as war. No age is immune to it, although it takes its heaviest toll among men and women in the very prime of life. And cancer is no respecter of people. The rich and the poor, the humble and the great fall prey to it in ever-growing numbers. The riddle of cancer has baffled physicians since the dawn of time. It still baffles the medical world. Chronic irritation is known to produce it under certain circumstances, and certain substances—some of the coal tar derivatives, for instance—have produced it in laboratory tests. But the ultimate, fundamental cause—just what makes cells in the human body go berserk and develop into cancers—is a discovery that lies in the future. Centuries ago, a prominent physician of his day prescribed the application of boiled cabbage as a remedy for cancer of the breast. Today quacks and charlatans in unknown numbers prey upon the gullibility and ignorance of desperate men and women, offering potions, balms, salves, and various so-called miracle cures that are equally worthless. More than 5,000 such fake treatments are known to exist. Medical societies all over the country warn against them. Postal regulations, the Pure Food and Drug Act, and state and federal statutes tend to limit this dark traffic in human misery. But only an alert and informed public can stamp it out. The unvarnished truth is that no medicine or drug has ever been discovered that will prevent or cure cancer. In spite of all this, the medical profession has three potent weapons in its fight to save patients attacked by cancer. They are surgery, x-rays, and radium. Sometimes one method may be employed. Sometimes a combination of two or of all three is used. Armed with these, doctors could save at least one-third of the patients now dying of cancer. Maybe the figure is as high as one half. Cancers must be attacked in their early stages, however—before they have spread and become general instead of local. The American
