SLOWLY PASSING
SHADOW OF CANCER. ( Per Press Association ). WELLINGTON, July 2. "To those of us who look upward with hope—with restrained hope, it is quite clear that the shadow of cancer is very slowly passing." In those words Dr. J. »S. Elliott, president of the New Zealand branch of the British Empire Cancer Campaign Society, speaking at the annual meeting of the Wellington division of the organisation, summed up the progress in the fight against cancer. “We are concerned,’’ Dr. Elliott said, “with trying to penetrate into deepest and darkest recesses uf Nature. In order to show what progress has been made, I might say that almost up to the present, day, from a surgical point of view the three years’ period of symptoms after an attempt of a surgical cure, has been taken as a criterion. Now surgeons are beginning to look forward to a ten years’ period of cure or reasonable relief.”
