Yet cancer in its early stages usually causes no pain. That is why relatively few cancers get any treatment in their early stases when most of them can be cured by radium, x-ray or surgery. Cancer of the lip may be mistaken for a cold sore that does not heal. The first sign of cancer of the throat may be hoarseness. Cancer of the stomach, in its early stages may be mistaken for indigestion. To cut down the death rate £rota cancer in Ontario 0193 Ontario people died from this disease in 1943) funds are now being raised and a drive is being organized in this province to conquer cancer.

Your donation may help put such measures into effect as will sa0e the lives of some of your loved ones—even your own life. It may help to free the world forever from the dread scourge of cancer, This appeal is for an objectives of $2,000,000 to provide for a three-year program of cancer research,freatment and province -wide service, GIVE 1 TO CONQUER CANCER ONTARIO CANCER FOUNDATION This organized drive against cancer Is a joint effort of Tho Ontario Cancer Treatment and Rocoarch Foundation and The Canadian Canner society.
