WIIAT CAUSES CANCER?
By Dr. Arthur L. Forster
What follows is not to be taken
as proven dogma, but merely as the
outgrowth of some abstract reasoning
of my own on this question that has
held the attention of the scientific
world for many years,
I am unable, first of all, to, sub-
scribe to'the theory that there is any-
thing infectious about cancer. On
the contrary, a mountain of evidence
has-been erected, that tendsto dis-
prove this theory.
In• approaching the question—
"What causes cancer?"—it is necess-.
nary to first decide what a cancer re-
ally IS! .Reduced to simplest terms,
it
May be said that ca neer is a mass
c a
of cells of the lowest grade; Unlike
most other so-called tumors, it has no
membrane surrounding it, It leas no,
nerve or blood supply. While there
are different kinds ofcancer, these
characteristics apply to all forms.
The next proposition to consider is
WHERE a cancer is tocated. ` We
find that it is always situated in parts
of the body where there is epithelial
tissue (the best example of this kind
of tisane being the skin). According
y
l we find canceri in the lip, tongue,
throat, stomach, uterus, prostate, in-
testines and breast.
Irritation or Injury—Cause
Proceeding to the next step in .our
process of reasoning,we find that the
site of the cancer had either been
subjected to a continued mild irrita-
tion or had been subjected to an in-
jury that was repaired with scar -tiss-
ue. For example:
Cancerr of the lip occurs in men who
go about most of the • tune. with a
straw or pipe ' in their mouth; cancer
of• the tongue and throat is seen ip
heavy smokers and drinkers; „cancer
of fhe stomach and intestines is near-
ly always preceded by a history of an
ulcer; cancer 'of the uterus usually
occurs in women whose womb was
tornduring childbirth (it is exceed-
ingly uncommon, in spinsters); cancer
of the prostate is preceded by a his..
tory of venereal disease and enlarge
his gland cancer of the bre-
ast is practically confined to mothers
who have"nursed several. children.
In every instance quoted it will be
seen that the affected part of the bo-
dy had been, subjected to irritation or
injury. Also, that the parts so affect-
ed are' always those that+communicate
with the outside. world. Thus, while
there is cancer of the liver, it never
begins there, but is always secondary
to cancer of the stomach.
Were cancer caused by a mieroor=
The weekly newspapers have no
fear of the big dailies taking their pia-
ce, for the dailies do not . enter the
honi,e life like the town weekly,which
have the happy' way of being an im-
portant part of the community life.
The author of the following lines has
caughtthe idea of the. -town weekly:
Trade :hardly deems the busy day
begun
Till his Peen eye along the sheet has
run;
The blooming (laughter throws her
needle by,
And reads her schoolmate's: marriage
with a sigh;
While the gravemother:, puts her
glasses on.
And drops a tear foe some old crony
gone;
The preacher, too, his, Sunday theme
lay's, down,,
To know what last, new folly fills the

t;anism, no age 'ittkould, be noticeably
exempt. But what do we observe in
this Connection? That cancer is sti•i-
ctly,,iii disease of middle life, and nev-
er oocurs in children. The fat that:
it does occur after rnddle lifeis fl,arw
ther evidence in support of my con-
tention that „it is nothing more nor
less than a amass of degenerated tissue
which requires a certain length of
time for its cause to exist and a de-
finite period for its effects to develop,
Assuming this theory to be true, Iet
us see how it would work out in .a
given case, We know the scar -tissue,
which replaces normal tissue that, has
been destroyed; is.olf low grade. We.
ikewise know that the lower we go
in the scale of life the more prolific
the organisms become. On that 'as-
sumption any scar -tissue in the body
that is subjected to continued irrita-
tion is liable to become cancerous,
And once liable
roes hasbeen start-
ed,
A process s ar
ed, .each succeeding generation of
cells is more prolific than its 'forbears
The mass continuesto enlarge throu-
gh multiplication of its ee11s and, be-
cause it destroys everything in its pa-
th, it is called malignant.
jj Has No Blood Supply
Ater the mass has reached a given
size, its central portion begins to bre-
ak, down, as it has no blood supply.
The dells receive 'no ' nutrition and
they die. The low ,vital resistance of
the mass makes it a ready prey to the
action of bacteria, especially the pus
producing kind. As a result, the mass;
becomes infected and harbors many
'kinds of germs, some of which are
typical and others, :because of their,
rapid proliferation, less typical. It
is the fiindng of these latter unrecog-
nized forms, in cancerous masses that
has given rise to the thought that
cancer may be caused by bacteria.
'When this process of infection,
de-
ath-and
decay reaches a certain stage
the lymph channels try to stop it, just
as they do in any infection: Their
action here pis -identical to the enlarge-
ment of the glands in the arse -pit in'
blood -poisoning of the hand, I can,
accordingly see no ground for the po-
pular notion that a cancer has roots,
nor the medical idea that a cancer ex-
tends itselfalong the lymphatics. The
apparent roots are engorged lymph
vessels, and they are' engorged becau-
se they are attempting to carry away
the' infected foreign matter. And in
doing so they themselves . become in-
fected
When that stage has been reached
an, operation is unavailing. . It may
prolong life, but that is all. The on-
ly way to remove cancer is to cut it
out—and do it early. Periodic physi-
cal examination after forty is the only
way to find a cancer soon enough, to
make its complete excision possible.
Once has begun to evidence itself
through subjective, and objective sym-
ptoms and signs, it is generally too
late. Tinkering with other methods
in the hope of.. escaping an operation
is a fatal error' Cancer is—in its
very essence—degeneration and decay
and no remedy other than its excision
in my present opinion, will _ever be
found.

"(r) What are the symptoms of

"(s) If a person has blood -pressure

Reply
(r) Everybody has a certain
amount of blood-pressute, that is to
say, a certain tension within the ves-
sels. It is the elasticity of the ves-
'els that makes circulation of the blond
possible, to a certain degree, Under
abnormal conditions, however, the
pressure may be too high or too low,
