WHAT IS CANCER? American Society For the Control of Canccr -S W". 4"r?l St.. Nftvr York. City. North Car olina Society for, the Control of Cancvr Pied mont l>uildintr. Durham. X. C. According to Prof. James Ewing, one of the best known authorities on the subject, cancer is characterized by an unrestrained and unrestrain able local lump or sore which be comes larger and larger and in many instances sends to other parts of the body minute particles of its own tis sue which starts cancer growth else where. Cancer is local at first, trifling and in many instances painless. Something goes wrong with the mechanism of the body and an un wholesome, persistent growth begins, which growth when begun cannot stop itself but must be destroyed or removed by scientific procedure. Cancer may occur anywhere on the outside or inside of the body. It is very small and trifling to begin with. When it occurs on the outside it is, of course, easily discovered in its early stage and it is at this time that effective treatment brings about a cure. After particles of the can cer have found their way to other parts of the body and given rise to new growth the situation is much more serious. To cure cancer it is necessary to .'ind out where it is and it is neces sary that it be removed either by sur gical or other therapeutic merits. The most malignant oancer was a simple and rfparently harmless thing when it ' egan; therefore, all suspicious ffrowtlc should receive careful at lent; n in their csriy CHEROKEE CO. MEDICAL SOC.
