THE TRUTH ABOUT CANCER
DR. MONTGOMERY GIVES PLAIN
AND BRUTAL FACTS.
ESSENTIAL NEED FOR TREATMENT
IN EARLY STAGES.
As yesterday's meeting of the Rotary Club presided over by Sir William Homell, Dr. J. H. Montgomery, Medical Yaporinton- dent of the Matilda Hospital,, ga vo interesting and decidedly" startling address on Truth about Cancer" Dr. Montgomery explained at some length the scientific aspect of the disense and the manner in which different parts of the human body are at tacked. Special emphasis we once moro laid on the necessity, for all persons over the age of 40 to seek medical advice the moment that any usual physical symptoms is observed. Cancer ie parti enlar dangerous because ite early stages are almost unnoticeable. No time, is, however, to be just if a cure is to be affected, bup treatment is often entirely successful if begun before the diseas0 has had time to affect the whole system.N
Dr. Montgomery did not, spare his hearers, when he dwelt on the course of the disease, if early treatment has not been applied... He did good service by issuing this warning and making not only Rotarians, but the wider audience that listensin to the Rotary. addresses, and who reads the reports of them in the Press aquare up to a terrible danger.
