Ulcer of the Nose.

New York.. OCT al.-According to . msdi-
cal periodical. which win be isrued here to-
morrow. q letter has been received from tho
London correspondent. of the paper to the
effect that the death Of Doctor Arthur Barry
Blacker on September 10 in London dis
closed for the first time the fact that King
Edward was treated with X-rays sixteen
times last spring for a rodent ulcer at the
root Of the nose. This was prior to his ab-
dominal crisis. which delayed the corona
ton. The letter says:
Doctor Blacker. who was Just 10 years
old. was one Of the pioneers Of the light
treatment in this country, and had for the
last year or two held the post of superin-
tendsnt of the X-ray department in 4 Lon
don hospital. To his obscurity he owed the
honor of being chosen. The King had a
small rodent ulcer near the root of the nose
which was successfully dealt with after
sixteen applications.
''By . strange irony of fate, tbs. s.S.ysician
himself fell q Victim to the c1.nceT N the
very moment Of his success. He was at
tackled by epithelioma of the axilla. Am

of. but the disease spread SO rapidly that
the idea Of surgical Intervention had to be
