"What did the Premier have to say?" asked the editor of the Parlia­ mentary reporter, “"Nothing.” The specific cause of cancer is hot known. Chronic irritation of all kinds, acts as an exciting or predisposing factor in cancer. The detection andj elimination of chronic irritation pre­ vent the cancers to which the chronic irritation might give rise. Certain diseases are peculiar to hu­ mans; others are practically limited to animals, seldom if ever attacking man. It appears that all human be­ ings are susceptible to cancer, a dis­ ease that is found also in birds, ani­ mals and fishes.- Cancer on the surface or in the ac­ cessible parts of the body should be the easiest to prevent. Cancer of the lip, tongue, or other parts of the mouth is nearly always preceded by some chronic irritation of the part, due to broken teeth, ill-fitting dent­ ures, infected gums, or the germ of syphilis. Cancer seldom, if ever, develops in. a clean, healthy mouth. Every year in Canada several hundreds of indi­ viduals, mostly men, die from cancer of the mouth and throat. Many of these deaths would have been pre­ vented by the proper treatment of syphilis, and by adequate dental care to keep the teeth and The prompt treatment sore which does not healed, either on the mouth, is essentially measure because it removes what may be a pre-cancerous condition. Carelessness and ignorance are re­ sponsible for most deaths from can­ cer of the skin. This form of cancer ordinarily occurs in older persons, but it may be found at an earlier age. Warts which slowly increase in size, sometimes with pigmentation, tend to become cancerous. Pigmented moles should be regarded with suspicion. Any skin defect which may have ex­ isted for weeks or months and which begins to change its character, should be investigated as it may (be chang­ ing into a cancerous condition. Cancer of the skin may not always be prevented, but it is nearly always curable. It is the absence of pain and the apparent harmlessness that so of­ ten mislead the patient into delaying to secure treatment. .Much can be done to prevent and to cure cancer of the mouth and skin. Most of this must be done by the pa­ tient himself through keeping his skin, and mouth clean and healthy, and by securing medical care without, any de­ lay when there is any indication that such care may Be needed.
