Cancer is an uncontrolled growth of cells which, if permitted to Bpi*ead unchecked, almost inevitably will lead to death. But if detected while it is still limited to its place of origin, it can be cured, by X-rays, radium, or surgery. . . . Cancer can strike anyone at any age. It can affect children as well as adults. . . . The only approved methods of curing cancer today are radiation and surgery. However, in the treatment of certain types of malignant growth, hormones, chemotherapy. and some radioactive substances have proved extremely valuable. .No cancer ever was cured by pills, powders, nor By any home remedy, nor by any quack or “wonder doctor” using a “secrej" method, gadget, or medicine.
