That cancer Is at first a local growth
and not a general disease of the sys
tem is now clearly established. This
fact is of the utmost importance, since
in holds out a high hope of cure if the
malignant growth is removed before
It has time to spread to other parts of
the body. Cancer beginning in one spot
Inter appears elsewhere, because small
particles or cells aro carried away
from the first site and start other
growths, not because there exists pre
viously some poison in the blood which
causes the disease to break out in
different parts of the body. The great
hope of cure, therefore, lies in remov
ing cancer entirely from the system be
fore it has a chance to spread from its
first foothold.
The reason why so many people
came to believe that cancer was a
blood disease is doubtless because it
was observed to come again In the
same or other parts of the body after
having been apparently cut out It
was natural to assume that when the
disease kept coming back in this man
ner there must be some cause or taint
In the blood which led to Its breaking
out in different places much like cer
tain skin diseases.
The trouble which started this falla
cious reasoning was that in those
earlier days cancer was not so well
understood as it now Is. Surgeons
then did the best they knew how, but
without the advantages of modern
methods they were unable successfully
to exterminate the disease. The micro-
scope has now shown us the paths by
which cancer cells start their invasion
of the body If the first and local ap
pearance is neglected. Modern sur-
geons are, therefore, repeatedly suc
cessful In removing the disease once
for all.
As an eminent American
doctor has well said, “It is not surgery,
but delayed surgery, that fails to cure.”
OUR CALENDAR IMPERFECT.
Under the Present System a Day Ie
Lost Every 2,500 Years.
Many people are dissatisfied with the
calendar. They propose to take it back
and change it They would have to go
back to an act of the British parlia-
ment in 1751—that Is. English speak-
ing folk would—and then still farther
into the recesses of time. It was that
statuto which later led American
schoolboys into doubt as to whether
George Washington was born on Feb.
22 or Feb. 11. Eleven days were lost
between Julius Caesar and George
Washington, but that hardly seems ap-
palling enough after all to justify so
many preachments on the subject of
lost time, does It? The way things are
arranged now It will be 2.500 years or
more before we lose another day.
The scientist, however, is never satis
fied with anything less than accuracy,
and he wants a perfect calendar. He
has taken his ideas of reform Into the
legislatures of several nations, but
nothing has happened yet. Reform is
sure to get into trouble, anyway, when
it gets Into politics. But truth, crushed
to earth, shall rise again, and maybe
the dream of the scientist will come
true. The first day of every month
will fail on the first day of the week,
and so forth. The printed calendar
which comes from the insurance com
pany or the grocery store will be Just
as good one year ns another, and the
months will be all alike. Probably a
more durable form will be invented, so
that it will last a lifetime, be moved
from house to house witti the rest of
the furniture and be handed down to
future generations as an heirloom.
Time, with such a calendar, wouldn t
seem so flighty.—Philadelphia Ledger
