...spread of knowledge to those who need it. There is no longer need to fight cancer alone. Hundreds of thousands will share the burden, understand the sufferings which too long have seared the very soul of men and women. At a time when our country is inclined to develop class, race or creed consciousness or hatreds the menace of a common enemy and the inspiration of fighting it together may have a sorely needed and deeply significant religious and moral force. Research, diagnosis and treatment will all reflect the increased interest and activity...
Investigators have at last got a glimmering of what causes cancer. Some people in herit a susceptibility to the disease. But they do not develop cancer unless some susceptible part of the body is unduly irritated by: 1) carcinogenic chemicals, 2) physical agents (X-rays, strong sun light, repeated abrasions as from a jagged tooth), 3) possibly, biological products produced by parasites. Carcinogenic chemicals occur in coal tar, bile acids, female sex hormone. However, no one under stands the exact way in which any of these causes cancer in those individuals who are susceptible to cancer...

More than anything else you can be sure...
...research. It was he who discovered the lungs' atria. He proved that the significant unit of lung architecture is the lobule. He systematized the whole lung anatomy, rationalized its physiology. He anatomized the tubercle of Ghon, the spot in the lung from which certain cases of pulmonary tuberculosis develop in children. He guided a former assistant, Professor Olof Larsell of the University of Oregon, in mapping the nerves of the lungs. Despite all this, Dr. Miller humbly and urgently begins his monograph: "There remain many problems to be solved." For instance, does oxygen diffuse directly into the blood stream...
