SMOKING AND CANCER.
NOT A CAUSE. VALUE OP RADIUM. (UNETSP PSEBB ASSOCIATION —BT BLECTBIC TELEGRAPH —COPYP.IGHT.) (Received July 9th, 12.30 a.m.) LONDON, July 8. Smokers will be reassured by the report of the Grand Council of the British Empire Cancer Campaign that, after a series of experiments, it has been found impossible to prove that tobacco smoking has any effect as a cancer-producing agent, either on the tongue, from pipe-smoking, or on the lungs, from cigarette-smoking. Radium has now definitely taken its place alongside the operation as a means of curing caneer. It seems fairly certain that by the use of radium in addition to the removal of the growth by operation, a great improvement in the proportion of cures obtained will be secured in the near future. —Australian Press Association, United Service.
