You ~ wouldn't dare risk offending them, so this letter will go right into the shredder — but I’m mailing it anyway... Doesn't it seam odd that in spite of the mililons of dollars spent on cancer research, there still is no cure? I"m convinced that the doctors don't want'to find one. It's .a terrific source of income. Most cancer: patients IInger for monttis and even years. if a cure were found It would be like killing the goose that lays the golden eggs. If you reply, I'll be surprised. — No Fool In Lawrence, Kan. Dear Friend: You sign yourself, ‘‘No Fool,’’ but you certainty write like one. Jf a cure. for cancer was discovered, doctors would make a lot more money selling it than they now make treating it. On the human side: Surely. you. must know that many doctors, thelr wives, children, parents and dear frlends dle from cancer every day. Do you belleve for one moment that they would allow this to happen If they could prevent It? Cancer Isn't one disease — It’s dozens of different diseases.

How can I be sure? — Mr. D.H., I, Dear Mr. H.: Hoarseness can be con- ‘sidered an occupational hazard, Teachers, salesmen, singers, preachers, politicians, all use thelr voices a great deal and put stress on the muscles of the vocal cords. Smoking is undoubtedly an irritant to the vocal cords, This, combined with the fact ‘that you are speaking all day long in a‘noisy environment puts additional strain on the vocal cords, It is not difficult to understand, therefore, that at the end‘of the day you are hoarse and vocally exhausted, E tion of the’ vocal cords can be readily done by an ear, nose and throat With a is soothing, eslexing ¢ and helps return the tired vocal cords to normal.
