THOMAS EDISON ENTERS
FIELD OF THERAPEUTICS

Protiting by his observations of the
effects on tissues of the human body
when they are unduly exposed to the
rays of the new element. radium, or
to the Rocntgen N-rays, Thomas y.
Edison has formulated a new theory
concerning the cause and progress of
cancer and he suggests a course of
treatment
There are in the human body Mr..
Edison says, certain ameboid cells
which are capable of movement and
seem almost to he gifted with intelli-
gence. Their sole function is to re-
store shattered and injured tissue.
With a burn produced by radium
or the Roentgen ray Mr. Edison finds
there are entirely different phcnom-
cna. The rays apparently destroy
not only the tissue, but the ameboid
cells. The result is that the wound
will not heal. Nature, however. saws
Mr.. Edison, does her best even under
these conditions. 1t is here that Mr..
Edison thinks the cells display a spc-
cies of intelligence. for when the cells
in the neighborhood of the injury fail
to heal the wound they are them
