CANCER.
ADVICE BY SPECIALIST. Bf Telegraph—Prana Association. WELLINGTON, Feb. 27. Definite and authoritative advice on the treatment of cancer in New’ Zealand was given by Mr Sampson Handley, the eminent English specialist, before a conference attended by the Minister of Health, medical officers of tlie Department, and representatives of the British Medical Association. The repoit of the proceedings indicate that Mr Handley recommended the establishment of a central institution for the treatment of patients, and expressed the opinion that travel abroad to all radium centres was the counsel of perfection. He considered there was sufficient radium in tlie Dominion to make a start with, and that the most economical method was the use of radium tubes. One upshot of the Conference was the decision to call a preliminary meeting for the formation of a New* Zealand branch of th© British Empire Cancer Campaign.
