BALTIMORE, September —Con- trol of cancer, which today is a far more serious problem for the medical profession than tuberculosis, is near, Ferdinand Blumen- thal of the University of Berlin, who is attending the cancer conference being held here under the auspices of Johns Hopkins University. “The medical profession has turned jts attention from the study of tuber- culosis to concentrate on a far more serfous problem—cancer,” he said. “This is a world problem, and those in the medical profession who are devoting their lives toward combating it can know no natlonality. Scientlsts of all nations are joined im one com- mon accord—to conquer this plague that is ravishing the human race. Urges Public Instruction. “It is important that the public be instructed on the earliest signs and symptoms of _cancer, because the disease responds much more rapldly to treatment then, and a cure is much more possible in the earlier stages than the public is aware. “It is important also that the gen- eral medical profession be instructed {n methods of diagnosis and treatment. so that its members will become and expert and will apply the necessary treatment promptly. here are three methods of treat- ing cance Must Distribute Radium. “Besides the operative method, radiation by means of the X-ray and radium today may be considered re- liable’ factors in the treatment of cancer. “In order successfully to combat cancer we must have available every- where—not only in the thickly popu- lated centers—these means of treat- ment. Also we must have a general medical , profession expert in these methods, These conditions are not yet fulfilled in most of the world.” WALES BANS DINNER BIDS.
