Cancer: Its Cause and Treatment, Volume 2 (of 2)

Two years ago the present writer ventured to put forth a small book in which cancer was considered from quite a different standpoint from that commonly held by the profession and laity. The kindly reviews of the medical press indicated that, while this was antagonistic to accepted views, there was warrant for such an investigation, in view of the steadily increasing mortality from cancer all over the world, under the present mode of purely surgical treatment. In these two years there has been very active study of cancer together with a campaign of education in regard to the desirability and necessity of operating very early in the disease, and consequently an increased surgical activity. In spite of 8all this, or possibly on account of it, the mortality from cancer during 1915 has been appreciably higher than the average yearly death rate during the preceding five years. It would seem, therefore, that there was increasing necessity for the study of the conditions which cause the disease, as found in the human system, rather than an increased study of pathological specimens and experimentation on animals. During these two years the writer has sought to understand the disease better by constant clinical observation in private and public practise and by wider acquaintance with literature, and has been only strengthened and confirmed in the views which were set forth in the former small book, and which he has held and practised for over thirty years. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
