The Worry Clinic
by Dr. Geo. W. Crane
. Judge Harry had such a
that he was willing to seek
route,
secret phobia about cancer
quick death by some other
But don’t jump to such hasty conclusions, Many
! supposedly terminal cancer victims are still alive, years
after being told they had only a few months to live!
And don’t be stampeded unduly by “You MIGHT get
cancer!”
CASE M-574: Judge Harry, aged 54, was recently hos-
pitalized.
“Dr, Crane,” his personal physician informed me, “Judge
Harry had a perforating peptic ulcer.
“But we also found that he
was in the final stages of ter-
minal cancer,
“We didn't tell him of
that fact, for he seemed ab-
normally scared about a mal-
ignancy.
“However, an intern was
in his hospital room a day or
so later and being unaware
of the Judge's cancer phobia,
this intern casually informed
him he better put his house
in order.
“For the intern then told
him he had possibly no more
than 6 months to live.
“A couple of weeks later,
the Judge was released from
the hospital.
“But he hadn't been home
three days when he filled his
automobile’s gas tank.
“Then he drove it into the
garage, where he had care-
fully plugged up all cracks in
the doors.
“He sat at the steering
wheel and started the motor.
He was found a few hours
later, dead from carbon mon-
oxide.”
CANCER UHOBIA
Many patients have this
abnormal phobia of cancer
death so they check out earl-
ier via some form of suicide.
And other patients are so
THE
ENERSY
suggestible, that if they even
imagine they have a malign-
ancy, they may lose their
appetite, because victims of
insomnia, and die premature-
ly, just from fright, alone.
In ancient times, a terrible
plague struck Damascus, kill-
ing thousands.
So a wealthy merchant
loaded his jewels and other
valuable possessions on. a
string of donkeys and fled
from the city.
Soon he encountered a dis-
tinguished looking gentleman,
who trudged along beside the
merchant.
As they engaged in conver-
sation, the merchant finally
asked the stranger for his
name,
“I am called the Black
Death,” replied the latter,
“Oh, go away from me at
once,” shouted the merchant,
“for you have already slain
50,000 in Damascus!”
“Nay,” protested the stran-
ger, “I slew but 1,000. Fear
killed the other 49,000.”
And this story merits the
attention of all sick folks!
For fear can kill your ap-
petite, zoom your blood pres-
sure, destroy your restful
slumber, cause peptic ulcer
and spastic colitis ana pro-
duce many other neurological
symptoms.
So be a Doubting Thomas
and a fighter,
Get more than one medic-
al opinion, if you have been
diagnosed as approaching
death.
Then refuse to ‘chicken
out” and surrender. Instead,
fight till the end.
For a fighting spirit has
often defeated Death.
Thousands of needless gall
bladder operations have thus
been performed because the
surgeon shook his "head dole.
fully and warned that “You
might develop cancer if you
don’t have your gall bladder
removed, for "it is full of
stones.” :
Millions of people carry a
gall bladder full of stones to
their death in a ripe old age.
And you MIGHT get run
over by a car en route to the
supermarket, so don't be un.
duly scared of a “might” type
of cancer!
