THE CANCER PROBLEM.
“It is not known definitely if the ineidence_of cancer in New; Zealand is above the average in other civilised countries in temperate latitudes, but there is no doubt that this disease iu its protean forms holds a prominent place in the bills mortality in the Dominion,” states the “New Zealand Medical Journal.” “Our country may not be doing as much as she should to attack the scou-rage of cancer, and at the forthcoming medical conference in Wellington the subject is to be discussed in its various aspects, and Mi*. Sampson 1 Handley, of Middlesex Hospital, will open the discussion. It is not too sanguine to express’ the hope that the forthcoming conference in Wellington will mark the advance of a great forward movement in the attack on cancer in New Zealand There is no problem of the present day like cancer for the medical profession. There is reason to hope that in time this problem will be certainly solved. As Kipling says, man is the natural quarry of the seven deadly sins, but the altar of an inextinguishable hope.”
