Childe, Charles P. Control of a scourge; or, How cancer is curable. (New lib. of medicine.) *$2.50. Dutton.
7–29144.
“The purpose of the book is to teach that the dread disease of cancer is curable by operation if taken in time. According to the diagnosis of Dr. Childe, cancer is, in its earliest stages, entirely a local disease, at least in many cases the result of local irritation.”
“The most optimistic book on cancer that has perhaps ever come from a physician of experience without any ulterior motive.”
