enjoy a remark able immunity from cancer tuber culosis and influenza according to re cent investigations made by the min istry of health it is because they eat no meat in the monasteries but consume a great deal of fresh vege tables and fruit dr s monkton copeman of the british ministry of health has been making an investigation at the car thusian monastery at cowfold near horsham sussex he states that so far as he has been able to ascertain the monks there appeared to be extra ordinarily healthy he pointed out that no meat was eaten in the monas tery but the monks eat a great deal of fruit and vegetables green salads aro among the most important items of their diet like the monks on the continent they also make large dietary use of dandelion and chicory there is no doubt said dr cope- man that middleaged people should eat plenty of fruit and vegetables like the monks most of the monks atj cowfold are middleaged but there ore some old ones i saw one who is nearly a hundred years old employed on carting stones dr copeman added that convents are not so free from disease and that there is a good deal of consumption in convents espe cially in the very poor ones the pro curator of the monastery states that the ministry has begun a detailed study of the dietary habits of the monks with a view to applying their fruitarian principles to the treatment of cancer the opinion is steadily

board of health ontario has given this matter of diet as a preventive of cancer much thought he holds the opinion and it is gaining ground that the prevention of intes tinal stasis is an important factor in the prevention of stomach and intes tinal cancers as cancer seems to be increasing in this country according to statistics it is readily seen that the question of diet in fighting this
