The patient on the table had a small tumor or “lump”’ in her left breast. The surgeon talked softly as he di vided the delicate tissues on his way to the offender, which he finally re moved, and closed the wound. “Ihese things are not malignant,” ho mured, “and this would never have given her trouble—did no: need surgery, but she had read a lot of stuff—it was on her nerves; just had to have it out or go crazy”—and so on. I had not been home ten days, when a young woman patron came into my office, with the same identical condi tion—a lump in her breast; somebody had told her those things were alway.s cancerous—what did I think? , “Mary,” I advised, “let it alone and quit being anxious; just you come in once a month for a while, and I’ll tell you what to do.” She obeyed to the let ter.

Fifteen years later, she went to the most noted surgeon in our western country. He told the woman she was a permanent invalid, skin and bone—in curable—and that the hasty and un wise removal of her breast had caused it! In other words, she might be well and happy todajv had the breast been let alone. She has been dead now, more than a year. My moral is, don’t do your own diagnosing of lumps that may ap pear in your breast. Consult your hon est, capable family physician, who has your every interest in his heart. And this means in tumprs of your breast; they may be dangerous, but happily not always. By Mary Marshall FOR SALE One six-room house, corner Fe'rguson and Owens Street.
