Great Britain an the continental countries of Europe have, for this reason, more cancer than young countries like Canada, here the ages of the people are, on the whole, lower.

Article No. l--Prevalance of Cancer. Cancer is rather prevalent 211 over the world. Knowledge of this fact causes uneasiness in the minds of some miudle-aged persons.

The rigures published by statisticians, who revel in gures, would lead one to think that cancer is increasing very rapidly. In spite of this, one doubts if there is any considerable increase of cancer cases from year to year. . Mm-la of the annarent increase is to year. - Much of the apparent increase is` due to greater skill of doctors in nding cases of cancer; to the bet- ter records of mortality in the last generation, and to greater knowl- edge of disease among the people themselves. Moreover, people 01 the present generation are living longer than those of former gener- ations. Fifteen years on the aver- age have been added to the life of man sinc 1900. Since cancer is 2 disease chiey of middle life and after, the longer people live the btter opportunity there is for them to develop cancer. Ninety per cent.
