came eruption occurs on the earth. Therefore, when a cancer is formed 

 anywhere in the body, there must be something wrong with one or 

 more of the vital organs. 



According to the Chinese definition, the difference between a tumor 

 and a cancer is that the former is a growth located inside the body, 

 which cannot be seen from the outside, while a cancer is a growth that 

 forms beneath the skin and develops above the skin, its size being an 

 inch or more in diameter. 



When a cancer forms in a neck gland, it has originated from the 

 blood of the liver. Breast cancer in women is due to poison in the 

 spleen which affects the milk glands, because women are liable to 

 periods of sadness, worry and melancholy. Cancer of the privates may 

 be traced to the improper functioning of the bladder and kidneys. Can- 

 ker sores and boils in the mouth are due to impure blood in the stomach 

 because the mouth is the outer cavity of the stomach. 



The air and the blood circulations cause soreness to be exposed in 

 the mouth and also by a red, sore nose, by boils, on the nose or by hem- 

 orrhoids, because the nose is the cavity of the lungs. If the blood or 

 the air in the lungs is impure, or if there is too much fire (inflamma- 

 tion) these maladies of the nose are caused. 



When hemorrhoids, or sores, or noises are located in the ears, they 

 are due to improper functioning or to impure blood in the liver and 

 kidneys, because, according to Chinese theories, the ears are the cav- 

 ities of the liver and kidneys. Inflammation of the rectum, piles or 

 fistulas are due to the large intestines and the lungs, as the large 

 intestines are the sub-organs to the lungs. When eruptions or itches 

 appear on the skin on the upper part of the body, blood purifiers are 

 necessary for the lungs, which control the pores of the body. Certain 

 cancers may be easily overcome before they spread and eat into the 

 tissues. However, there is no help if they are allowed to go until the 

 tissues are consumed, for a fireman cannot save a house that is already 

 burned to the ground. 



CHINESE METHODS OF PREVENTION AND HEALING 



When a cancer begins, it commences to swell, to have pain and 

 fever, and to form lumps. At this stage, according to Chinese theories 

 if the herbs are compounded to cleanse the blood of the vital organs, 

 and external applications are made, the cancer will generally disappear.
