The cancer that eats at world civilization is almost as big as the patient. ~There are few healthy spots left. If there is to be a solution, it must be a big solutfon. It is too late for small solutions.

Cancer Eating Civilization Almost as Big as the Patient. We refuse to entangle our fortunes with those of the belligerents because we fear to involve ourselves in war. When there is a functional disturbâ€" ance of stomach, heart, or other organ, it msans that the disturbance is not caused by any change in the structure or tissues of the organ, but by soms cther cause â€" nervousness, some disâ€" turkance of a nearby or distant organ. When an organic ailment is present, it means that there is a change in, or something wrong with, the tissues of the organ which causes the symptoms. "To tell a person who has real heart disease that his heart is normal may not be so bad although it may prevent that person from taking proper care of himself and he may expose himself to risks he should not take; but to tell a person with a perfectly normal heart that he has heart disease may produce a neurosis (fear of a disease that is not really present) which, in many cases, may make him a semiâ€"invalid. The difficulty is that so many of the sympâ€" toms of heart disease are also symptoms of other conditions. Pain in left breast suggests heart disease whereas if pain were in right breast it would be called neuraigia." I am quoting Dr. J. Murray Kinsman, Louisville, Ky., in Medical World. It is, therefore, most important that patients understand the difference beâ€" tween functional and organic. Try to remember the difference beâ€" tween functional and organic dGdiseases, Functional disturbances are not serious but their cause should be sought. Neurosis One who worries and is convinced that he has a disease which medical tests do not reveal is called a ‘neurotic‘.
