THE HONOLULU CONGRESS FIGHT AGAINST CANCER Press Association— By Telegraph—Copyright., HONOLULU, August IC. (Received August 17, at 10 a.m.) . Ur Osborne addressed a largo public session on the cancer spectre, comparing cancer to an invading army to which one in five falls a victim. He described the Australian light against the disease, and predicted victory—perhaps within this generation. Dr Osborne’s physiology paper caused much discussion amongst the surgeons as developing a new theory ng surgical shock. Dr Osborne said the idea was widely beld by American surgeons that a combined local and general .anaesthetic prevented ; shock. This was incorrect, because the real cause of shock was a poison called hystamine, which was freed whenever the tissue was injured. Prevention should be obtained by the maximum avoidance of injuring the tissues. —Australian Press Association.
