THE SCOURGE OF CANCER
Is taking an annually increasing ■ toll of our people, says the • Wellington Radium Appeal. ■ In the year 1875 ' sixty died • of this disease, which was equal : to 2 to every 10,000 of the popu- J lation. By 1922 this number ■ had steadily increased to 1066, ; or 9 to every 10,000, an increase • of, 450 per cent. The flower of i our people are being cut off in • the prime of life, Many suffer ■ years of agony without hope or ; relief, while this insidious dis- ■ ease slowly but surely reduces ■ their body to a living skeleton, ■ and ultimately ' ■ Saps Out Life Itself. :
