The Only Cure.
Dr Joseph BisseJl, in a paper which fie has read before some of his fellow practitioners on "The Treatment' of Cancer," declared that, ~"disguise our ignorance as we may, we have not yet discovered the primary cause, of cancer. Not knowing the cause, a cure is not within the reach of medical treatment. The kni£& te-eo far the only cure. That; with its limitations, is certain, complete, , and sure. Where the cancer is in a removable portion of the body tho knife will restore .to the victims the uncertainty of life by taking away from him the certainty of doatlb. To accomplish even this respite we- rnuat see the disease early. It must be on a part of the body not necessary to the patient's life, and the extirpation of the disease with fcne knife must be complete."
