CANCER.
MAX’S MOST POWERFUL ENEMY Lord Horder told a meeting of voluntary helpers in connection with the appeal for the British Empire Cancer Campaign in London, recently, that the campaign was fighting the most elusive enemy that confronted the health and happiness of mankind. “We are making definite headway, he said, “because we are learning more and more every year about the stratagem and the tactics which this enemy employs. “I have before me the figures of the Ministry of Health, and I see that in the latest recorded year, 1935, the number of deaths amounted to 12.909 in the Metropolitan Police district and 61,507 in England and Wales. So you may he convinced of the ‘worth-whileness’ of your efforts, if you have any doubts.” Addressing the tuberculosis conference in London, Lord Horder said: “Tuberculosis is still one of the captains of the Man of Death.” The death rate, he said, was six times as great as the road death rate.
