CURE FOR CANCER.
Chicago Doctors Enthusiastic over
Use of X-Ray.

Chicago Evening Post.
Physicians and surgeons OF Chicago are
as a rule enthusiastic over the possibilities
Of the use of the X-ray in the treatment OF
cancer, tuberculosis and similar diseases.
Although the Roentgen ray has been used
in such cases several years, they assert
that the treatment is almost wholly unde-
veloped and no one knows what may be &C
complished in time. The case of Mrs. o. w.
Potter, who through treatment by a special
X-ray apparatus has been completely
cured. after her case had been pronounced
incurable by physicians, has attracted
widespread attention. A number Of physi-
clans were asked to-day their opinions OF
the efficacy Of the treatment and its future
possibilities.
DR.. John E. Gilman, who, with DIR.
Grubhe, was in charge OF Mrs. Potter's
case, has the utmost confidence in the sue
cess of the treatment at all times. DR.. Gil
man has used the X-ray in the treatment
or a large number Of cases OF cancer, and
declares that it has never failed to effect a
cure.
Il believe it is an absolute cure" he said.
Il do not know its limitations, If il has
any, for every case that L have taken had
been previously pronounced as hopeless
DR.. Gilman is now using the X-ray in the
treatment Of two cases OF cancer at the
Hahnemann Hospital.
DR.. w. l. Baum. the specialist in skin
diseases, declared that the possibilities OF
the X-ray as a cure for diseases had not
been determined. I'm local cancers or the
skin IL has undoubtedly resulted in consid-
cradle improvement in some cases. In the
case of deep-Seated cancers / doubt IL II
would have any effect whatever. However,
the time in which the X-ray has been used
is so short that all we can say is that IL
has undoubtedly resulted in considerable
Improvement in some cases, and that IL has
great possibilities which have not been de-
termined. 1t is undoubtedly the best meth
cd OF treating tuberculosis Of the skin that
we have. In all instances where the X-ray
has been used under my supervision the
results have been excellent"
DR.. II. z. Pratt, who was one OF the ear
Hest Investigators into the use Of the X-ray,
claims TO have been the first person TO
employ il I'm the treatment Of cancer. IL
was first used by him, he says, in the treat
ment of two cases oct. 12, 1896.
1.-The treatment proved very successful
in all cases that have come under my no
tice," he said. "All local manifestations Of
cancer, If it had not spread through the
system, can be healed by the use OF the
X-ray. If it is used in reasonable time q
cure is assured. 1t has also been used with
the greatest success in the treatment Of
tuberculosis"
DR.. James Nevin Hyde has used the
X-ray in many cases OF this kind during
the last few years and has met with great
success. DR.. William A. Pussy is another
physician who has used the X-ray sue
cessfully during the last three years in
the treatment Of cases Of cancer and tuber-
culosis.

that an unusually large number of persons

General Theory OF Machines.

In the Complies Rendus CT the Paris
Academy Of Sciences n. koenigs has
printed a sketch Of a general theory Of
mechanismS. Every machine consists
of L number CT material bodies, re-
sistanceS. joined together rcciprocally,
upon which natural forces act to pro-
duce a desired effect, and the effect
may be either state of rest or one Of
motion. The resisting bodies and their
connections are the mechanism. It's ef-
feet is not known until we define the
acting forces. The same machine will
produce different effects according as
different forces play upon it.
Machines are subject to three eff
fects-Static when the forces produce
equilibrium; kinetic when the result is
motion, and. finally. dissociative when
the connections Of the machine ARE
changed. The latter effect is usually
not considered, but it is essential to
take it into account. y machine could
not be built. in the first place. unless
it was capable of dissertation. In some
machines-locks, for instance-the parts
are dissociated every time the appa-
ratus operates. 1t is desirable to de-
sign most machines, however, so that
the associative effects do not come in
to play during their operation.

Tho Thine For Planting Bulbs

There is no definite rule to be laid
down as to the length of time in which
bulbs should be left in cold storage.
AS a general thing, top growth will not
begin until root growth is completed.
This nearly always takes from six
weeks to two months. 1t is therefore
generally safe to begin bringing Octo-
Der planted bulbs to the living room in
December Those desired for later
Towering can be left in cold storage,
where they will remain dormant as to
top growth. By bringing bulbs to light
and warmth at intervals Of q week or
ten days we secure q succession Of
bloom which makes it possible for US to
brighten our windows with their beau
tiful flowers during the greater part Of
winter.-New Lippincott.
