Thai Body Of Your: By James W. Barton. MD. . DETECTIIVG CANCER OF THE LUNG

Despite the fact that the cause of cancer is unknown. thousamis of cures of cancer 'a.re now re- ported every year. This is because early cancer is curable one or all of the three known ethods- X-ray. radium and surgery.

For years it has been believed that cancer of the lung was hard to detect because the symptoms of lung cancer are few, perhaps the outstanding symptom being a sort of hiss or whistle on breathing air out of lungs. Another reason for lack of detection of lung cancer is that it is not as common 35 other cancers and therefore not suspected.

It is good news for physicians and patients to learn that early detection and rates of cure should be higher for lung cancer than for cancer in any other internal organ for two reasons. 1. The lungs can be acrecned more readily on a mass production basis than any other organ because does not have to be seen by the physician. 2. Small cancers a few millimeters (less than an inch) in diameter produce shadows that can be detected in the X-ray films. In various surveys, the percent. age of new growths in the lung that caused no symptoms what. ever varied from 35 to '74 per cent. Sometimes it is necessary to open up the chest wall by surgery to make sure of the diagnosis.

In Southern Medical Journal, Birmingham, Ala.. some months 380. Dr. R if, Overholt. Professor of Medicine, Tufts Medical Col- lese. Boston, reported his eifperr. ience with 863 cases of primary cancer of the lung (beginning in me lung). 75 per cent of u-horn had "0 Slmnionis and with no spread of the cancer. whereas there was spread in all but if per cent of the cases where symptoms were present. These cases of lung cancer were all "getatable" and surgical removal was possible in all the cases where no symptoms were present. and in 30 per cent where symptoms were present, What were the results in the

cancer?

The five-year cure rate for the group with symptoms of cancer was 11 per cent,

"If current trends continue. the cure rate for lung cancer patients with no symptoms present will be 75 per cent, that is. three of every four can be cured."

It must be a great relief to phy- sicians to be able to use the X- rays on these cases where cancer cannot be seen or be readily de- tected.

Unreliable Fiance

-.o:..j

Mother Should Lef Girl Find Out Fact Herself

DEAR. DOROTHY DIX; My teenage daughter accepted an en- gagement ring, promising that she would wait a few years before thinking of marriage. My concern II that she gave up all her friends except her fiance. The boy, also in hi: teens, la a big flirt. He has been seen out with other girls, but gets very up- set at the mention of a break-up with my daugh- ter. What kind of future do you think la in store for my girl?

W. M.

ANSWER: Unless your daughter in a very stub- born glrl, she will soon find out for herself how unreliable her fiance is. It doesn't take bad news long to travel. Mention the boy's bad points to her as casually as possible. then let the matter drop. By harping on his unauitabllity too long or too much. you'll just become. in hbr opinion. a nagging mother trying to spoil love's young dream.

DEAR MISS DIX: For two years I kept house for a man with three children. aged 10. 8 and 5. Now we've been married for a year and he treats me terribly. He'd beat me black and blue it I told him I was leaving. but he never has a kind word for me, never. takes me out, never buys a piece of clothing. The doctor says I need kind- ness and peace. but my husband Just laughs when I tell him tlhat.

ANSWER: The course of your trouble is easy to trace. As a housekeeper you earned a salary. which your employer decided he could save by the simple procedure of marrying you. Most women are so flattered by the sight of a dangling wedding ring that they rush right into its trap. new-r bothering to inspect the bait. Your hus- band has acquired what he wanted-a free housekeeper and care- tuker for his youngsters.

HE'S SAVING MONEY

Of course he'll berate you at the threat of leaving; if you go he'll have to pay someone else to do the work. You can never expect bet- ter trentment from him; that I'll guarantee. When the children are grown to the point where they no longer need a woman in the house, you'll be given a very summary dismissal. Are you willing to en- dure bad treatment. even to the extent of physical abuse. until then? Recourse to the law can always be used as protection If you are afraid of what will happen should you leave.

DEAR MISS DIX: I am 14. and have been going steady with a 19-year-old boy. He is going into the army for three years. and wanlis me to wait for him. When he gets out, I'll be 17 and we intend to get married. I intend to quit school at 16. then spend avyear gettlng' things ready for our home. Do you think this is wise?

J. S.

ANSWER: You seem to lead a rather haphazard existence. which may be scillcd to some extent by having a sweetheart in service.

Your It-tier (somewhat'sliortened'here) shows signs of wisdom far beyond 14. but also exhibits a definite need for further education. Stay in school at least until your boy friend leaves the service. or better yet continue until you graduate from high school. Don't be impatient to rush into marriage. Work on the things at hand and wait awhile for the wedding march.

h MISS DIX: After twenty years of marriage, I left. my teus an Ialst year bccziuse I simply couldnt stand his Jealousy and bad WTEEY. .ow,V though I havent yet obtained a divorce, I am in love sirlglpf widower. Should I get a divorce and marry him. or stay

" U. A. .

ANSWER: One thing at A time! If you want to divorce your husband. get that over before you begin a new romance. Have you any guarantee that your widowcr won't exhibit the same difficult traits that caused the separation from your husband" Don't let a temporary loneliness rush you into a bad situation. I '
