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.
