Smoking and Cancer of the Tongue

A WRITER in the British Medical Journal, after referring to the disagreement among surgeons as to whether smoking may be an immediate cause of cancer, remarks that there is a condition of the tongue which in many cases is the precursor of epithelioma, and this disease is more generally considered to be caused by smoking. The fact is pointed out that among seventy-five recorded cases all but five were smokers.—New York Observer.
