Lady Lennox believes that Paris VIII
always be the leading city for fashion
able dress wearers. Fashions started
there" she said. and l believe that il
will always keep in the lead. English
women are just learning how TO dress.
AS they have learned from their Ameri-
cousins, L will take a great interest
while in this country in watching the
American womans style"
According TO Lady Lennox. the Boer
war has greatly affected the London wo-
man tailOr's trade. Women are spend
ing the money which heretofore has been
used for dress, TO relieve the suffering
Of widows and orphans, who were left
without support by those who fell in South
Africa.
THE effects of the war have been far
reaching i'm London society" said she.
There have been blessings well as sor-
rows. Nothing has been more beautiful
than the wonderful feeling which has been
shown between the rich and the poor. IL
would be considered wicked in London to-
day for a woman TO buy an elaborate
wardrobe with all the suffering in evidence
all about her. The English woman has
forgotten dress for the time being and is
ministering TO the poor who have been
most severely afflicted"

CURING CANCER BY X-RAYS.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

New York ommercial-Advertiser.
The stories of remarkable cures of cancer
by the use of X-rays that have been ca bled
from European cities, DIR. Robert Able 13
authorities on cancer in the United States,
is inclined to regard as great exaggera tons
of actual facts. From the most recent of
these reports, printed yesterday, TO the
effect that DR.. Wigmore chief surgeon of
the Roentgen department of the London
Skin Hospital, has just cured by the use Of
X-rayS a recurrent case of cancer of the
breast. DR.. Able considers that a generous
deduction should also be made if the absO-
lutte truth could be had However, DR..
Able believes that decided benefit can be
secured from the employment of X-rays in
the treatment of cancer when they are
skilfully and persistently used
The application of X-rays to the treat
ment of this disease is as yet in the state
of research" said DR.. Able when seen re-
Gently at his office in F'iftieth street. This
method of treatment is not sufficiently far
advanced TO justify its adoption for prac-
teal use. y thing TO be feared in it's pres
ent development is that it will be adopted
by quacks, who are always ready TO take
up an exploited method while it is yet
matter of experiment with scientists and
practise it with great benefit TO themselves
and great disaster to others.
Il have never tried the method myself,
as have never had a case in which l
thought 1t more likely to effect cure than
surgery. To the best of my knowledge all
of the cases which have been reported as
surgery could have secured the same re-
suit. The most thorough trial the method
has had in this country has been given
1t by DR.. Williams, of Boston, and his ex-
periments have been followed with some
success.
Il do not think that the use of X-rays
viii ever supersede surgery in the treat
ment of cancer. But in the hands of
skillful practitioners this method may be-
come effective to a considerable degree; il
would be especially valuable in the treat
ment of persons who desire 10 avoid cut
ting. Still, cancer will be very rebellious
10 the X-ray method and benefit will
crue only after long and careful treat
ment. The application of it is extremely
tedious, and 1t is trying TO get any result
at all. In my opinion whatever beneficial
results do follow are the effect of con-
centrated light rays rather than of the
X-rays per Sc.
The machinery of DR.. Williams. who
DR.. Able says. has been the most sue
cessful American TO apply X-rays TO can
Ger, is not intricate and can readily be
understood even by a layman. The N-ray
tube is enclosed in a box having an open
ing for the light not unlike the stop of a
camera. Through this the concentrated
light is allowed 10 play upon the cancer,
which is surrounded by a leaden shield to
protect the unaffected flesh from the rays.
Two or three months, an even longer
period, are required for any marked re-
suits. and during this time the rays must
be regularly and frequently applied.
