CANCER DEATH-RATE
AN “APPARENT”' RISE? “Increased longevity must he set side by side with improved diagnosis as a. very important cause of 1 110 apparent rise of the. death-rate from malignant disease in modern limes,” says Dr. B. Holmes, of Cambridge, in “Cancer and Scion tide Research.” Nevertheless, cancer remains the deadliest foe of human life, and everybody should be interested in the effort that is being undertaken by the Empire Cancer Crusade to organise forces for its extermination. New Zealand must do its share, even if only for tbo benefit of the cancer sufferers in our own land, so that the proper methods of treatment will be made availa'blo for them. Incidentally, the. crusade’s principal, message is one of hope, as it is desired that everyone should bo informed that cancer (like any other disease) in its early stages is usually curable, by proper treatment.
