Rhubarb-Pineapple-Nut Conserve 2 cups canned Hawaiian pineap­ ple juice 2 quarts diced pink rhubarb unpeeled (about 3 pounds) A newspaper man in a western On­ tario town, a man of high intelligence and education, puffed his cigar as a friend of long-standing called to see him. The friend noticed that the editor had a sore on his lower lip. He had had some experience with sores of the kind fpr his father years ago had died of cancer beginning as just such a sore and he himself had some years previously developed a cold sore jvhich failed to heal. His doctor told him it was the beginning of cancer, had treated it with radium and the sore had healed up. "What are you doing for that sore on your lip?” he said to the news­ paper man. "Putting a iittle salve on it,” was the answer. "It’ll be all right.” The friend demurred. "If you don’t give it better treatment than that,” he said, “we’ll be coming to your funeral One of these days.” “You don’t think it's a cancer, do you?” enquired the editor. "No,” said the other, but it will be one, if you don’t look after it better than you're doing.” “Huh!” said the editor, “no cancer in my family.” The friend returned to his home. He had a real affection for the news­ paper man. They had, though on dif­ ferent sides of politics, sat in the leg­ islature together. For years they had been close friends. He sat down and wrote to Jim, the editor. He gave him a piece of his mind, told him of his own and his father’s experience and urged him to look after the sore. Some days later, the editor turned up at the friend’s office in a large city. “Y’ know,” he said, "my wife got hold of that letter of yours. She has given me no peace until I decided to come and see you. What should I do about it?” Fortunately, there was, in one of the local hospitals, some radium. The newspaper man was sent for medical advice, he received a couple of hours treatment with the radium, the sore healed up and has remained healed for the past nine years. The patient has remained well, though he is now over 80 years of age. Sores on the face, within the mouth I and on the lips which do not promptly heal, are often pre-cancerotts condi­ tions. They are exceedingly common but are often neglected because the victim is ignorant of the proper course to pursue. If in doubt he should see his family doctor and se­ cure his advice. It is highly danger­ ous to waste precious time fooling with doubtful remedies or quacks; to be effective treatment must be early. All over Canada, in the larger centres there are institutes or clinics for can­ cer treatment. If the patient is able to do so, he pays for treatment. If he is without means, he will be given, treatment equal to the best. No vic­ tim is turned away, Don’t neglect aft unhealing sore or other early sign of cancer, Questions concerning Health, act- dressed to the Canadian Medical As­ sociation, 184 College St, Toronto, will be answered personally by letters. p i *
