lectures that cancer control is
needed since it is the second
cause of death in the United
States and in Oregon, with 1,886
cancer deaths in this state last
year. She describes the disease
in considerable detail and tells
of the importance of recognizing
cancer in its early stages if it is
to be cured. In this connection
Mrs. Frisbie quotes figures on
cures obtained from treatment in
both early and advanced stages.
Explain! Cures
The nurse also explains some
of the cures used for cancer, and
points out that "no home rem
edy ever cured cancer; no special
diets ever cured cancer, and
quack remedies are extremely
dangerous because they cause
delay in securing adequate treat
ment while cancer is still in the
curable stages."

man for the American Cancer
society.
