Ml l n 1 1 I - ' I MT Cause For Cancers Now Understood Italians, Chinese and Native Ameri can Hnvo Lowest Rate From Dread Disease. Chicago, Oct. 18. Chicago solen- tlts arc deeply interested in the re sults ot two yeai's exhaustive re search upon cancer by Dr. O. Cooko Adams, of London and formerly of Australia, just made public through tho department of health. Dr. Adams has proved conclusively that health plays a most important factor in the increase of the disease and its death-rate. The increase from cancer in Chi cago from 48GC to 1905 wus 232 per "cent; in 180C, 1 in each 104 deaths was duo to cancer, and in 1905 it had increased to one death in every 23. Tho results show that tho in crease is due to the foreign-born inhabitants, as the native- Chicago- born show tho lowest death-rate in the world. During the last seven years, of 58,835 deaths among- tho Chicago born from all causes, there were only 178 deaths due to cancer. During the same period there were 61,019 deaths from all causes among foreign-born inhabitants (who comprise over one-third of the total popula tion) and there were 4,403 deaths from cancer. The cancer death-rate per 100, 000 living over 40 years of age, of the different foreign-horn inhabi tants shoW that the German is 757, Irish 700, Scandinavian 520, Sla vonian 320, other foreign 456, Ital ian 58, Colored 50, Chicago and Illinois born 35. Of all Germans dying in Chicago at the age of 40 or over, one In every four dies from cancer. In Germany it Is one in twelve; of the Irish dy ing In Chicago, aged 40 or over, one In six dies from cancer, while in Ire land it is one in fifteen, whereas, among the Chicago and Illinois born dying in Chicago, aged 40 years and over, there is only one death In 72 from cancer. The death-rate among the foreign born from cancer In Chicago Is rapid ly increasing. The German and Irish show the highest death-rate from cancer in the world, nearly 300 per cent higher than in their native countries. The Italian and Chinese maintain the lowest death rate of all from cancer as is shown in their own countries. Concerning his researches, Dr. Adams says: "My statistical Investigations ;in Europe, Great Britain and the Unit ed States of America, fully corrobo rate my earlier Australian observa tions. The increase of cancer and its death-rate in the United States, par ticularly among the foreign-born In habitants, is alarming, the mortality of tho foreign-born being far in ex ces of the death-tate of the native born and contributing tho greater part toward tho generally high mor tality. The .increase of cancer mor tality may be demonstrated by a study of the vital statistics of any largo American city. The tables of Chicago giving the following results: suits: "In Chicago, from 1856 to 1866 thprp was an Increase in the? cancer death-rate of 680 per cent; while from I860 to 1895, the Increase was 232 per cent. In 1856, but one in each 1,000 deaths was from cancer; in 1SG6 this had increased to one In 1G4; in 1905, it was 1 in 23 deaths, while in 1906, 1 death in ev ery 21.8 was due to this disease. "Tho same tables show plainly the terrible mortality among the foreign born residents of Chicago, particu larly among tho Germans, Irish, Scandinavians and Slavonians. The cancer death-rate among tho Irish and German residents of Chicago is the highest In the world, being near ly 300 per cent higher than in their native countries. The Chicago mor tality tables show that of four deaths among the Germans over 40 years of age, 1 is from cancer. In Germany it is 1 in 12. Of tho Irish dying in " Chicago over 40 years of age, 1 in every 6 dies from cancer, while the cancer death-rate in Ireland at the samo ago is 1 in 15. Similarly tho Scandinavians, Slavonians and other foreign-born, except the Italians and Chinese, show a far greater death rate in Chicago than in their own homes, the two last named races maintaining tho low mortality of their native lands. "Tho cause of this greatly In creased death-rate among the foreign born cannot -be charged to climatic conditions, for I have found that the Chicago and Illinois born have about the lowest death-rato from cancer of any people in the world, for many years the average being 1 death from cancer in every 400 deaths among these people, and but 1 cancer death - in 72 among tho native Chlcagoans over 40 years of ago. "A study was made of the deaths from cencer in the fifteen sanitary divisions of tho city of Chicago as well as in the public institutions and especial attention was given to the relation to the population, nativity, occupation, sex, age, race, diet and their sanitary, hygenlc, social and economic conditions, the Idea being to shed some light on tho abnormally high death-rate of some nationalities in Chicago, the low death-rate of others, and the comparative immu nity of Illinois and Chicago-born persons, compared with the higher mortality of other American-born residents of Chicago. . u was found tHat tho Italians made their staple diet of macaroni and spaghetti (their national dish), that the Chinese adhered to their national dish of rice, while the other nations showing higher mortality, consumed large quantities of canned, preserved, dried and pickled meats, sausages, etc., often eaten un cooked. 'Vhlle these preserved meat foods were eaten to a certain ex tent in their own countries, the higher wages of American permit in dulgence In them to a greater ex tent, while the greater cost of fresh meat is an added inducement to the consumption of these articles. It was found also, that the bulk of tho fresh meat prepared at the plant of a slaughtering company, where stock condemned antc-morten by the gov ernment, state and city inspectors is slaughtered, is eaten by the poor. About 87 per cent of stock, held for slaughter, upon being condemned on ante-mortem inspection and after the diseased organs and parts have been removed, is finally passed upon and enters the market, either as fresh meat or in the form of meat prod ucts, and is largely consumed by tho foreign poor. My investigations at tho Chicago stock yards show that the majority of the stock con demned ante-mortem for tuberculo sis, acltomycetosls and cancer, as well as those principally used as "cann,ers," are fed on wet malt or distillery slop. "There cannot bo the slightest question but that tho great Increase In 'cancer among the lorelgn-born, over tho prevalence of ttiat disease In their native countries, Is due to tho increased consumption of animal foods, particularly those derived from diseased animals." It will be noticed that Dr. Adams' conclusions in no way reflect upon the quality of the meats prepared at the Chicago stock yards for the ex port trade. Worry saps nervous energy and robs the body of the strength neces sary for tho real work of life. It is wholly bad, for it never counteracts with the slightest good any of the evil is accomplishes. Never has it tho contrary, to injure. It is an in sidious enemy which works even while we sleep In the land of dreams, twisting and distorting the beauti ful visions of that land into horrible, hideous, grinning things, the mem ories of which haunt us in our wak ing hours. It fags the brain, wrinkles the brow, dulls tho eyes, withers the cheek, enfeebles tho hands, enervates the arms, palsies the limbs, and places the crown ot age on the brow of youth. With one hand it points the way to the lunatic asylum and with the other beckons onward to the suicide's grave. It is the inflexible, implacable enemy of success, which over succumbs to its onslaught and which it buries in the dust of despair never to rlso again. Poise is necessary for the well be ing of man. It develops and at the same time controls and keeps the lever of mental equilibrium so ad justed In Its proper place that the balance wheel will not get out of running gear to the wrong side. A. H.
