combination of any drugs will cure cancer nevertheless charlatans are applying caustic pastes inject ing weird mixtures of bacter ial debris and exalting useless mixtures of glands in relation to the

a single one of these cures was worth the pa per it was written upon not a one of the applicants offered even a lead toward experimen tation the only known cures of can cer and the american college of surgeons has proof of cure in some 30000 cases are fourid to result from early treatment by surgery xrays and radium it is most important that per sons learn the early signs of cancer and that they
