Dr. L. Duncan Uulkley, head of the
New York Skin and Cancer Hospital,
2nd Avenue and 18th Street, of whom
Superintendent Charles 11. Orlmshaw of
the Roosevelt Hospital says: Dr.
Uulkley, one of the best skin anil can
cer specialists in the country, claims
that cancer is usually caused by Im
proper eating and drinking. It can tie
treated by eliminating meat, alcohol,
* coffee and tea from the diet, and pro
bably would disappear as a disease in
a generation or so if a vegetable diet
and the simple life were the rule
among civilized people. Surgery can
only remove the results of the disease,
and does not touch tile cause.
The excessive consumption of meat
Is without doubt to blame for much of
America's disease. Many leading med"
leal authorities blame an excessive
meat diet for the great prevalence of
cancer in the United States where each
person disposes of 172 pounds of m at
a yenr.
In England the yearly meat con
sum pt Ion is 260 pounds per capita.
In Italy, where the per capita consump
tion of meat is smallest, the death
rate from cancer is also tlie lowest. The
consumption of meat per capita in this
country has reached the enormous rate
of 172 pounds, and in the last five years
cancer deaths hnve been increased by
seven or eight per cent. Practically
the same conclusions can tie drawn
from the use of coffee, tea and alcohol.
"Cancer is a disease of civilization."
says Dr. Bulkley. ''it was unknown
among primitive people, it is increasing
the world over with a mortality of 1*0
per cent of those once affected. In the
United States tile mortality is at the
rate of f.o.ono a year. In New York
City alone there are twelve deaths
dally from this ‘great red plague.'
Hitherto cancer lias been regarde 1 al
most wholly from its surgical aspects,
tail » Ti.ively little important ■ it s
been paid to the medical aspects. New
growths have been removed by the
knife X-ray nnd radium, but there lias
been no attempt to regulate the living
conditions of the patient nnd his diet In
order to prevent a recurrent mallgent
growth.
"Cancer mortality is lowest where
conditions of life are hardest and
greatest where wealth and leisure ex
ist. This was proved by statistics
gathered by Dr. Roger Williams. The
richer and more abundant the food the
more liable one is to cancer. Indolence
and gluttony, which frequently come
with wealth, are contributory causes
to the metabolic changes or distur
bances In the constitution. Complex
living makes for a nervous condition
which dtsturbes the balance of the In
gredients of the body. The secretions
of the various organs tire tints dis
turbed.
"The aim of the New York Skin and
Cancer Hospital in treating patients is
to secure the most perfect blood streum
possible. This Is accomplished by sim
ple living, frequent bathing, internal
and external, perfect elimination, fresh
air and sunlight, perfect mastication,
avoidance of excesses, and in addition
to proper medication, to secure the
healthy action of a strict vegetarian
diet. There are, of course, times when
the knife should be used. Our treat
ment Is. of course, a long otic, nnd re
quires much patience.”
Cornell has recently adopted Dr.
Uulkley's treatment of cancer, and will
soon open a research department and
clinic.
Dr. rtulkley’s conclusions that tlie
hope of cancer patients lies in chang
ing their diet Is the result of forty
years’ experience.
Too much attention cannot lie paid to
mouth nnd teeth. < hi May 28th the
800,000 children of the public schools of
New York City bought tooth brushes
for tile first celebration of Tooth Brush
Day. The entire week was Hygienic
Week, and was devoted to the scrub
bing of teeth nnd dental hygiene.
At 0 o'clock all the children were
taught what first nld to the teeth
means, and the serious results of ne
glecting them. This was done by
trained specialists, prominent dentists
of the city, lf>0 of whom volunteered
to aid the Hoard of Education. They
spoke for an hour in the schools.
Friday, Tooth Brush Day, saw drills
In every school immediately after the
opening of the afternoon session. The
actual demonstration was done in each
class by a leader. The class leader
had in addition t<» his or her tooth
brush a cup of water, and the drill
went as follows:
“One, two, three, four, brush the
teeth with a rotary motion. Dip. One.
two, three, four, brush the teeth at the
side with the same motion. Dip."
The lender had real water in her cup,
hut the children made believe, and wl|h
their brushes went through the "one,
two, three, four, dip." following each
motion of the leader.
A field day of dental hygiene brought
the class to a close, with tooth brush
drills in Central Park, Prospect Park,
Van Cortland Park and the Bronx. The
school children in the contest which
was run by the Department of Physical
Training of the Board of Induration,
C. Ward Crampton, Director, competed
for banners.
Thus these 800,000 children spread
the gospel of mouth cleanliness in that
many homes and to five million people.
