CANCER AND RADIUM
SOME REMARKABLE RESULTS,
Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright.
LONDON, September 10. (Received September 19, at 8.15 a.m.) The chief surgeon at the Middlesex Hospital announces some remarkable results during the last six months through treating advanced cancer with radium. He says that it is not advisable to use the word cured, but the growths have disappeared in a truly astounding manner. The hospital is handicapped through lack of radium, a single patient sometimes using, for 24 hours, the whole of the 144 milligrams which the hospital possesses. No other treatment is possible. Hundreds of patients are awaiting their turn, and their need is greater, because small doses of radium are useless.
