Synopsis
Excerpt from The Control of a Scourge: Or How Cancer Is Curable
Opposition which burnt in many quarters during its earliest years, and to ensure for it a place among the elect of science.
A different fate, a weary waiting, has dogged the slow but sure footsteps of other discoveries. Amongst these is that of the curability of cancer by surgical operation. To any who will take the trouble to study this question, to any who will look into the results of former years and compare them with the results to-day, the fact that a revolution has been in progress during the last quarter of a century in the treatment of cancer is clear. Yet the advance has been so slow, the number of cases cured by operation is so small compared with the number that die in spite of it, that it is difficult even for the medical profession, much more so for the public, to become awake to the fact of its curability. No wonder surgeons chafe under this load of lethargy; no wonder the public is full of doubt and despair! Although it may be said that, practically speaking, formerly cancer was never cured, and although it can be easily shown that of late years it has been cured over and over again, we see almost everywhere the same pessimism as formerly prevailing with regard to it, the same obstacles to the achievement of the end we have in view.

The Control of a Scourge: Or How Cancer Is Curable (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book confronts the once-feared topic of cancer, providing useful information to the general reader. Many theories have been proffered through history, but the author demonstrates that none of them satisfactorily account for cancer's origins. The author laments the ongoing ignorance of the general public concerning this disease and seeks to shift the reader perspective from hopeless acceptance of cancer to a new understanding of its curability. The author asserts that cancer is a common disease, yet its cause remains a mystery. The author holds that our ignorance of the cause has created a landscape of helplessness that delays necessary dialogue, the seeking of advice, and the pursuit of effective treatment, thereby decreasing the chance of a cure. The book aims to foster a greater understanding of the early signs of cancer. It posits that only through greater understanding can we hope to improve our chances of fighting this disease. In the end, the book places the topic of cancer squarely at the center of essential medical discussions, a topic we as a society can no longer afford to avoid. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781331228196_0
