“CANCER-CURERS.”
“The great need for the future advance of surgery is concerned with an earlier approach of the patient to the surgeon. The greatest misery in the life of the surgeon comee when he has so say ‘Too late;’ when diseases so easily remedied ill their Marly stages are sfeil only Wlieli the ravages lire so extensive tlliit fill Operation can possibly restore the patient to normal health,” said Lord Moyniliati ill a recent speech. “This is ospedully trlle in easeo of cancer. -It is true, to say that every single case of cancer, where the disease is accessible to the surgeon, is curable in its earliest stage-, for cancer is always at first a local disease. If 1. may bo'allowed to give one word o' advice,” he added, “it is to avoid 'quackery. 'Unhappily, it is not' very infrequent for delay in .all cases ol illness to be 1 encouraged by the wasteful trial of other methods. The ‘ean-cer-curer’ is still -a curse in the land, and the most pathetic credulity as to his claims is shown by people who should know better.”
