Although no one has yet discov- ered I cure for cancer. many forms or treatment are in use. and. as many readers may wonder why health writers do not discuss these new forms of treatment. it would be well to quote si part of an edi- torlel from the Journal of the American Medical Association. "The treatment of cancer once limited to the use of surgery. X- rays and radium has been expand- ed considerably in recent years. New anti-cancer drugs have been developed and hormones and radio- active isotopes have been applied to the treatment of malignant dis- ease. - ,

These new drugs and methods of treatment represent valuable ad- ditions to the treatment of cancer but the optimistic publicity that has accompanied their use has tend- ed to obscure several facts. in the first place. most of these substances have a very narrow field of use- fulness."

Thus drug treatment acts only against the form of cancer (glands). while these agents may prolong life and make it more comfortable. they are. for the most part, pulli- ative (ease the suffering) rather than effect is cure. Permanent cures are still achieved largely with

THE astral oonngurations hold more than a hint of cve,r-lndul- gence in week-end activities, in which pastimes may be carried in excess and with much outlay or squandcrlng or funds.

Sentimental journeys are more ihanillkeiy to exact penalties and expenditures far beyond the pru- dent economy originally calculated. There may be other forms of pro-
