CAUSE OF CANCER
ANOTHER NEW THEORY. PLENTY OF SOAP AND WATER AS A PREVENTATIVE. (By Telegraph—Press Assn. —Copyright.) NEW YORK, November 8. (Received November 9, 7.5 pan.). Dr. Ewing, Professor of Pathology, says that more soap and water would prevent cancer of the skin. Cancer in the stomach is seldom caused by stomach ulcers. Cancer on the tongue and lips is usually from tobacco or bad teeth. Cancer is usually caused by constant irritation over a considerable time. The Doctor expects a large increase of the disease among motor mechanics, whose arms and hands are constantly coated with roil.
