For quite some time doctors
throughout the nation
at odds as to whether or not cig-
arette smokers might be afflicted
with cancer of the lungs
A few months ago &! a meting
held by the American
Association al l.os Angeles, one
of the outst and
ing M. D's was
lecturing on this
sub ject
ing the thous
ands of doctors
bled that cigar
ette smoking de
finitely was the
cause of lung
cancer. However,
while discussing
this subject, we
are informed
that the conven.
tion hall was so filled with cigs
telte smoke that while the speak.
er was heard he could not be
seen. Evidently those assembled
paid little attention if any. to
the lecturer
Not too far back a prominent
cigarette manufacturer kept ad
tertising on TV that five New
York doctors had gone on record
that their particular brand of
cigarelles was god for the
throat. Other doctors throughout
the nation were informing
public through TV programs that
Sifaratie smoking was not harm.
ful to humans So the battle rag-
od between the pros and the cons
and no one seemed to know who
was right and whiy.
Now we find the the Public
Health Cancer Association of New
York State a! a meeting held at
Buffalo recently, passed a resclu-
tion offered ‘by Dr. Morton L.
Levin, assistant New York State
Health Commissioner, that the
public should be informed that
this p has gone on record de
finitely stating that there was
sip between smoking
n ung cancer
Well, well, let us analyze
contents of this resolution. First
why do these doctors only refer
to cigarette amoking” It appears
tor un that water is water whether
we drink it out of a glass or out
of a cup and in the same sense
tobacco is tobacco whether it is
smoked in cigarettes, pipes or ci-
gars. Had these doctors gone on
record thal the using of tobacco
might show =a relationship with
lung cancer, we the American pe-
ople may have paid some atten
tion to their findings. But when
they refer to cigarette smoling

{We often times wonder whether

{regarding these cures and diseases
(us final We venture to say that
[more doctors smoke cigarettes
than any other profession on
enrth. Surely, if for one minute
they thought it was so dangerous
they certainly would abolish this
habit
Now naturally we are not in a
position to confirm or condemn
Any reasoning siong these lines
that cigarette amoking creates
teancer of the lungs Bat we do
believe that if cigaretie smoking
is dangercus that pi and cigar
smoking must be placed in the
same category. If the doctors take
the position that pipe and we
smoking is cancerous {ree then
we definitely must take the posi
tion that cigaretlis smolting falls
in that category
Our reading public can now
readily understand how certain
cures or sutions are now ar
rived at. suse, nothing definite
{has been proven to make us be-
i Heve that their opinions are wor

of these same medicos have gone
on record that the Hoxsey Method

has no value before a wholesale

{on by the medical association it
ishould first be ly and
impartially investigated not by
opinions, but by facts. Until or-
