[To the Editor] Sir, —It was very refreshing to discover the contents of Mrs Fox's letter as published yeserdny. Your correspondent, who I believe is officially recognised as a writer in the Dominion, provides ns with healthy and nourishing matter for our mental consumption, for which “thanks be.” 1 hope she- continues to exercise her qualifications in the crisp and instructive fashion possible to her penmanship. The last portion of yesterday’s letter was very thought-provoking as regards that terrible disease —cancer. Is not the Jews’ immunity from cancer largely due to the fact that —although they are as a people scattered practically through every country as per cent statistics, in your columns —they eschew pork i Dr. J. 11. Kellogg said, inter alia, that “Vernotiil, of Paris, and Roux, ol Lausanne, announced the, startling theory that tin' use of pork is the cause of
cancer. M. Veruouil some, time ago stated that . . . the further study of the subject has led him to the conclusion that porlt, if not the sole cause of cancer, ;s at. least a very common factor in the. etiology of this disease.” “Absence of fear and an urge lo achieve” follow our emancipation along such lines. —I am, etc., A WAYFARER, Neison. 29fh November.
