THE MICROBE OF CANCER 233 



In tlieir life processes, too, the germs generate 

 the cancer poison. This poison enters the circula- 

 tion, and, in the blood stream, goes to every part 

 of the system. The germs go with it. They may 

 be found in any drop of the patient's blood. 



But the poison is not very virulent; it is slow in 

 affecting the whole system. Though the cancer is 

 not cured, the patient may live many years. The 

 time will depend largely on the duration of the 

 cancer. But, in any case, death comes at last. 



The mortality from cancer in the United States 

 is set at about 30,000 yearly. At this rate through- 

 out the world, the yearly mortality is over a 

 million. 



When the right antitoxine is discovered, if ap- 

 plied early enough, no doubt, every cancer may be 

 cured. 



Meanwhile, if favorably located, the tumor may 

 be removed. Consult a surgeon. Attend to it 

 early. 



But the best way is to prevent it. Remember 

 cancer is contagious. It may be communicated 

 from person to person. 



Therefore exercise common sense. Sterilize. 

 Disinfect. Keep clean. One word of warning 

 should be sufficient. 



Just now comes the news that Liquid Oxygen 

 kills the cancer germ and cures the tumor. 

 Known cases of cure are at hand. Worth trying. 

 The boon may be here. If not, it soon will be.
