CANCER.
DOCTOR’S URGENT WARNING. Christchurch, August 26. 'Reporting to the North Canterbury Hospital Board on cancer, Dr. Fenwick said that the GoA-ernment Statistician had supplied him AA’ith some figures. “Consideration of these will explain my anxiety that those who feel out of health should not postpone an examination and should never regard as trivial symptoms which may be the earliest warnings of a dangerous disease,” he said. In 1925 the number of Avomen aa’lio died between the ages of forty and sixty years from all causes Avas 1,032. Of this number 267 died from some form, of cancer; that is, one out of every four deaths was due to malignant disease. During 1925 114 Women died from cancer of the breast and ninety-six from cancer in the womb.
