CANCER AND THE HYDRA
Scientists studying the mystery of biological
growth have performed an amazing experiment with
a small marine creature called a hydra. Several hydras
are ground up and poured into a mold and a few days
later, there appear four hydras, perfectly healthy and
active.
Actually you can chop up as many as ten or twenty
tiny hydras or as few as five large ones but as long as
the whole mixture is one cubic millimeter of tissue,
you’ll get just exactly four of the little creatures.
This is interesting; it may prove important. Fas
cinating as it is, it is just one of the many leads to
cancer control that are being developed in laboratories
throughout the United States.
The whole problem of cancer control can be likened
to the hydra experiment. The American Cancer Society,
which is now conducting its 1951 Cancer Crusade, can
get exactly as much return for its efforts as it puts
into the problem.
No matter how many givers are involved at least
$14,565,000 must be raisced to carry on research, edu
cation to save lives now and service to the cancer pa
tient during the coming year."
We must furnish the hydra-dollars that power the
great crusade to save human life. Guard those you love.,
Give to Conquer Cancer. . '
The local campaign starts today under the spon
sorship of the nurses of the community, and will con
tinue until July 14th.
Give generously when they call on you!
