Excerpt from What Everyone Should Know About Cancer: A Handbook for the Lay Reader
In the six years during which Canada was engaged in the Great War soldiers were killed or died of disease. During the same time cancer caused the death of upwards of people in this country. Our soldiers died in a glorious cause, but a large proportion of the vic tims of cancer represents a needless waste of human life, long periods of suffering and with no recompense of victory or glory such as have accrued from the successful termination of our struggle with the enemy.
