Cancer, notwithstanding its many “sure cures,” is increasing in the civilized world. Once it was rare; now common. Under the heading of “The Monster Malady,” Dr. Kellogg tells us in the Good Health for October that it is largely confined to flesh-eating countries and peoples. It occurs most frequently among domestic dogs and cats, which subsist largely on a meat diet. Cancer is most frequent in Europe, then in the United States. It is rarest of all in Africa, almost unknown outside of Cape Colony. Man eats too much protein in meat. The death-rate from cancer in Switzerland and Denmark is 1,320 to the million. In Oulchy Normandy the death-rate rises to 4,000 to the million. While cancer is scarcely known among the Indians of Canada, it is extremely so among the whites. Of 3,275 autopsies in Montreal hospitals one in twelve showed cancer. In Guy’s Hospital, London, it was one in eight. What will the end be?
