With such patient, remote researches grows the body of knowledge which another Koch or Pasteur may some day synthesize into a cancer cure. In the meantime, cried Mayo Clinic's Dr. William Carpenter MacCarty in Toronto last week, let the world beware of any prolonged stomach ache or internal discomfort, no matter how slight. Said he: "It's a great mistake for people to think that cancer in its earliest stages produces any of the signs of severe illness.
