AUSTIN, Texas—A steady in-
crease of deaths in Texas from all
forms of cancer is disclosed by the
fact that over 45,000 persons have
died from this dreaded disease
within the last ten years, accord-
ing to Dr. George W. Cox, state
health officer.
“The public should be warned
against cancer ‘quacks’ and so-
called cancer cures,” Dr. Cox said.
"Advertising of medicines and so-
called cancer doctors puts danger-
ous, misleading information before
public. “Undoubtedly,” Dr.
declared, "there are -many
persons who being thus delayed ir
seeking proper medical advice'un-
necessarily lose their lives to this
disease.”
According to the state health of-
ficer, there are two ways of treat-
ing cancer: surgery and the use
of radium and X-ray. Treatment
must be started early and be car-
ried out by a competent surgeon
In almost two-thirds of the cases
surgery is relied upon to remove
the cancerous growths, while X-
ray.or radium is used to good ad-
X vantage in approximately one-
third of the cases successfully
treated. Frequently the two meth-
ods are combined.
"The greatest defense against
cancer is early diagnosis,” Dr.
Cox stated. “Every case is an
emergency and it is unfortunate
that the majority of those persons
suffering from cancer do not seek
medical advice' until beyond per-
manent cure.”
Dr. Cox pointed out that any un-
usual bleeding from any part of the
body, any lump in the breast, or
any surface sores, especially on the
. z.fa^e and mouth, and even chronic
indigestion my be symptoms de-
noting the presence of caner.
"Where canecr is suspected, do
not delay, but consult your physi-
cian at once,” Dr.' Cox advised.
“Self-medication, seruihs, colored
lights, pastes, salves, and diets are
absolutely valueless.”
Keep away from windows. Don’t look out. Shut off gas furnaces, ranges,
or water heaters, and their pilot lights. Shut off electrical connections. Put-
out all lights you cannot closely screen, so no light reaches the street—the light
that’s out or covered tight will never guide a Jap!
