Little Girl Treated and Becomes
Famous as the First Patient.
HER CONDITION IS UNCHANGED
II Is q More Powerful SiImuIant Than the
X-Ray, and Her Mother May Not Consent
TO Second Experiment.

New York, Aug 26--After an exam :
inhtion OF Tillle spitznadel. the little
blind girl who has become famous as
the first patient 10 receive treatment
with radium with apparently beneficial
results. DR.. Anon r. Jenkins announced
yesterday that her condition was un-
changed. He conferted later with his CO.
experimentor, William j. Hammer, and
IL was decided that no definite time
could be set for the second treatment
with radium OF 800. 900 radio-activity.
MIR. Hammer and DIR. Jenkins fully ap-
preciate the dangers to be guarde ed
against In the use OF radium. and for this
reason they are proceeding with the
greatest caution The tubes OF radium
crystal employed in the experiment were
applied to the girls head less than 20
seconds and should radium OF higher
power be used in the second experiment
a medium Of some sort will be provided
which will absorb the power to a great
extent
MOTHER MAY NOT CONSENT.
Titles mother said yesterday that she
did not know whether she would allow
another operation on her daughter.
Mr.. Hammer is acknowledged to be
the only scientist in this country auali-
ned 10 conduct experiments with radium
on human beings He is the author Of
'Radium. and other Radio Active Sub
stances the first text book 10 be pub
lished in this country on the subject
which has received the Endorsement of

Crookes and other scientists.

The experiment on Tillie Spitznadel Is

II remains TO be seen whether the beneflt

THE optic nerve Is unlike other nerves
Once destroyed nothing can restore it's
power. A patient may be totally blind,
although the optic nerve Is not destroy
ed. This may be the case with the lit
tie blind girl. Her treatment with ra-
dunn Is valuable as an experiment, but
until the experiment is proved absolutely
successful IL will possess little value to
the scientific world.
DANGER IN EXPERIMENTS.
"Radium Is said to be a more powerful
stimulant than tho X-ray. II SO. its
use would be extremely dangerous.
Whether this danger can be minimized
is matter OF the greatest importance.
Tillie Spitznadel's case will be watched
by scientists with the greatest interest.
