DR.-KOCKEY ADVISES WATCHFULNESS AS CANCER SAFEGUARD Address Delivered by Retir . ; Ing President of the Ore- : gon Medical Association, ADULTS EASIEST PREY Vms to Any SJtmpIs Xtsrnal Csuse, Sat froattesA by Defective Reac tion of Cells. Dr. A. E Rockey, retiring president 'of the Ortrsn Medical association, de livered hi annual address before the convention this afternoon. He dean with the subject of cancer and Us prevention, declaring- that Intelligent , watchfulness la the prlee of f ety. The- following la a summary of Dr. Rocker a address: 'Ona hundred thousand persons die from cancer every year In the United State. Carefully complied statistics, ' prepared from the registered area, which Includes about 60 per cent of the population, rive a total of 75.000. . The victims of cancer are chiefly 40. Some cases, of course, occun, earlier; but the vast majority are among- those who have resisted other diseases, and have arrived at a mature adult age. Appalling as the state ment 100,000 deaths a year from cancer-may seem, It is but a small part of "this great tragedy. The averaKo brings relief la more than a year. Knob Suffering' Kesults. ''The early part of the course is often painless, but the latter part is. one long agony. It would be conserv ative to say that theae 100.000 deaths ; represent 100,000 years of suffering. This 100,000 years of suffering and the 100,000 deaths a year la the result of . neglect. Early treatment of pre . cancerous lesions, and early operation .

"The result of any sufficient lrrita tlon to the cells, whether it be mlcroblc, traumatic, radiant, thermic Or toxic, la the death of the cells," he said. "The body is a community of Individuals, which we call cells, that have both an individual existence of their own and a community relation with each other. Embryonal cells are the same In character until after their division Into the germinal, layers of the ectoblast and endoblast. Conclusions Are Drawn. "In adult tissues there is a normal repulsion to admixture of the cells. 'When any Irritation falls short of the death of the cells, there Is produced a stimulation which is defensive in character and which is followed by an ' active karyoklnesls to increase the ; to DreaK tnrougn tne rencn line, number of the oelis.
