Synopsis
""The Control of a Scourge: Or How Cancer Is Curable"" is a book written by Charles Plumley Childe in 1907. The book discusses the history and current understanding of cancer, as well as various treatments and preventative measures. Childe argues that cancer is not an incurable disease, but rather a condition that can be controlled and cured through proper medical treatment and lifestyle changes. He also explores the role of diet, exercise, and mental health in preventing and treating cancer. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the state of cancer research and treatment at the time of its publication, and offers hope and encouragement to those affected by the disease.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Présentation de l'éditeur
In this category, for instance, may be named the two great triumphs of the last century. I allude to the introduction into surgical practice of anaesthesia and asepsis. It did not take long for the unfortunate subject of a surgical operation to realise the transcendental benefits he derived from the abolition of the tortures which such a proceeding entailed upon him; nor did it require any effort on the part of the surgeon to convince him of the advantages resulting therefrom. A gain, in the case of the introduction of asepsis, although the patient could not be expected to appreciate, and never will appreciate to the full, its importance to him, the profession was not slow to recognise the magnitude of the revolution it meant in surgery, and the benefits it was destined to confer on suffering humanity.
