RADIUM WANTED
SPENDING TRAVIS BEQUEST PROMINENT DOCTOR’S VIEWS (Special to THE SUKJ CHRISTCHURCH, Tuesday. “It will be better to devote the money to relieving present suffering and leave research to men who haVe greater scope in the big laboratories of England,” said Dr. P. Clennel Fenwick, who is in charge of the radium department of the Christchurch Hospital, referring to the proposal of the trustees of the Travis bequest of £40,000 to spend the money on research in consumption. “Research requires so much expenditure in laboratories and staffing, and it will be difficult to find in New Zealand men who will undertake it. If the trustees devote their trust to research in tuberculosis I hope that they may be inclined to give us more assistance by providing additional radium needles.” he said. “The treatment of cancer is steadily improving as our supplies of radium are increasing and our knowledge of its use is becoming more recognised.”
