RADIUM AS A MEANS OF
GIVING SIGHT TO THE BLIND
important Experiment With the New Metal on
Little Girl Who Has Seen Nothing
for Eight Years.

NEW YORK, Aug. 23.-Lillie Spitz-
! nadel, a pretty Austrian child, eleven
years cid. who has been totally blind
since she was three years old. has been
made to see slightly. as the result of
| of radium and X-rays.
The experiment was tried only last
, Wednesday night, and at the time of
application it gave little or no promise
,, of being even moderately successful.
The chilG's sight has not been re-
stored, but she has in three days
blindness to one in which she can dis
tipguish moving objects and can plain
ly discern ordinary electric lights at
night.
DIR. Anon Jenkins of II State street,
this city, who is connected with the
Marine Hospital service and whose pa
tient the child is, and William ]. Ham
mer, a we'll known electrical engineer,
and expert in radium, conducted the
experiment on the blind child, and
while they decline to commit them
selves to the prediction that the little
girl will ever entirely recover her sight,
they argue for the treatment they have
given that it is the first successful ap-
plication of radium to blindness since
the discovery of that powerful metal
If the child continues to improve
during the next week as she has since
she began the treatment it may not
be necessary to have another applica-
ton, but if she does not the expert
ment will be repeated, this time with
the most powerful radium to be OBJ
tanned in the world, radium with $780,
900 radio activity, which Mr. Hammer,
in conjunction with certain physicians
in this city, is now using in an attempt
to cure an obstinate case of cancer.
The radium used in the experiment of
Wednesday night was of 1000, 5000 and
1000 radio activity.
Lille Spitznadel is both pretty and
bright Her address is not given here.
at the request of DR.. Jenkins, who does
not want her bothered by the curious,
but she lives on the upper East Side
with her parents, who are poor. She
was stricken with blindness when 3
years old after a long illness due to
meningitis, and for several years now
has been a pupil in school for the
blind in Hartford, Conn. She plays
the piano, sings and is accomplished
as far as SO young O. child can be in
the things that the blind learn at the
institutions devoted to their instruc-
ton.
The child's eyes are wide open and
very clear Indeed it is impossible
for n casual observer to tell that she is
blind at ALL Shortly after she was
stricken, she was examined by DR..
Hamilton Knapp, who said that al
though her right eye appeared to be
in better shape than her left. he saw
no hope for her ever recovering her

On Friday night the little girl was
taken for sail on a ferryboat.e She
was taken on the upper deck, and ev-
cry time large boat passed the ferry
boat she spoke of a shadow passing.
She never failed to call attention to
passing craft when they were large
boats. Small boats she did not OBJ
serve.
Later in the evening she spoke of
seeing flashes of light with her left eye.
Up to this time all she had been able
to discern was with her right eye. The
child is now being closely watched and
everything is being done to prevent her
becoming too excited. Her joy at being
able to discern things was very touch
ing, according to DR.. Jenkins and Mr..
Hammer, and her parents and sister
are SO excited over the possibility of
her recovering her eyesight, even in
part, that they can talk of nothing else.
When DR.. Jenkins and Mr. Hammer
were asked yesterday about the case
they gave The Sun this statement of it:
I'VE wish, on the one side of mercy,
to discount any results we have OBJ
tanned for this treatment, which is new
and has never been tried before. At
the same time we think where results,
even small as these are. have been
achieved they ought to be known to the
world. The treatment may prove in
the case of this girl to be a cure for
blindness, and it may not. AT any rate
we do not want to raise hopes in the
minds of the blind that cure for their
affliction has been discovered.
we claim nothing, save that this
little girl, who was totally blind, has
had flashes of vision and has been able
to discern lights and moving objects as
the result of the stimulation of radium,
used in conjunction with the X-ray.
IF Lille Spitznadel continues to i'm
prove we will probably not have TO
treat her again. If she does not 60
ahead, we will experiment further
with her along the same lines. There
is in possession of Mr.. Hammer at
present radium of 100000 radio activity.
This will be used on the child if she is
treated again. The most powerful used
in the first experiment had a radio ac-
tivity of 1000 This most powerful
radium is now being used in a cancer
case, but can be obtained for the child
at any time.
I'm using the radium on this child
every care was exercised. Some months
ago, by merely putting his face close TO
a tin box which had contained radium.
Mr.. Hammer partly blinded himself for
weeks. The radium imparts radio ac-
tivity to everything around it and too
great care cannot be taken in using it.
In the hands of the ignorant it is very
dangerous. Prof. Currie has said that
at times he has been unable to go near
his instruments for hours after using
radium because of the activity imDart-
ed by it to the very clothing that he
wore.
I'VE do not want this child disturbed
at the present critical point in her
treatment, and we hope our wishes will
be respected

sight. The child has been under Dr.
Jenkins care for some time. He is
much interested in radium and has
made many experiments with Mr..
Hammer, who has a laboratory at 153
West Forty-sixth street devoted to
work with radium.
But DR.. Jenkins and Mr. Hammer
have been particularly interested in
experiments on the blind with radium,
especially in those of DR.. Loudon, o
Russian physician, who experimental
on two blind children in ST Petersburg
several months ago. In these cases
the radium was placed in tubes at the
back of the head, and the patients had
slight sensation of sight. 1t was
nothing like vision, however. 1t was
rather akin to the sensation of light
experienced by person who has re-
ceived a blow on the head.
DR.. Jenkins and Mr.. Hammer decided
that little Lille Spitznadel was an ex-
ceptional case for experiment, and last
Wednesday night the girl was taken,
with the consent of her parents, to Mr..
Hammers laboratory, where every
thing had been prepared to treat her
with the combination of radium and
N-rays. The combination was the
joint idea of the two scientists.
Before the experiment the child was
submitted to the severest tests to prove
her total blindness. Electric lights
were turned on and off in the room,
but she didn't notice them at all. A
magnesium ribbon was burned close to
her eyes, making a most intense light,
but she could not discern it. Her face
was placed close to forty tubes of
phosphorescent matter which had been
stimulated by magnesium ribbon and
which glowed with all the colors of
the spectrum, on the theory that the
different wave lengths might affect her,
but she saw nothing.
The final test was with an ultra
violet light, employing an induction
coil a condenser. a bridge to cross the
gap and iron electrodes; but even this
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1903-09-11

produced no sensation on the child.
Satisfied beyond doubt that the child
was totally blind the two men then
proceeded with their treatment They
placed seven tubes of radium, ranging
from IS to 1000 radio activity. in sew
eral narrow chocolate boxes and held
them against the forehead. base of the
brain and temples of the child. Asked
if she could distinguish anything. the
little girl almost broke out into tears
and said in choking voice that she
could not. She evidently thought that
the experiment. was over, and that all
had been done for her that could be
done.
DR.. Jenkins next took an X-ray ap-
paratus and the child was allowed to
look through the horoscope. She
could see nothing reflected on the
screen. Next the N-ray and the ra-
dunn were tried for the first time in
conjunction. The radium was placed
at the same three points and the X-ray
used with it, the theory being that the
X-ray might be faster than the radium
ray and would therefore serve to slim
ulate it and drive it in. Neither DR..
Jenkins nor Mr.. Hammer contends
that the X-ray is faster, that point
being a matter of controversy among
scientists at this time, but it was on
that theory that they proceeded.
When the radium was placed
against the right eye the child had
momentary sensation of light. She saw
nothing with the left eye. But outside
of this one flash the child saw nothing
opd II loolyad nc tho1lpb tho ayperiment
had been unsuccessful.
The first real result came about an
hour later when DR.. Jenkins was TAX
ing the child home in crosstown Fiji
ty-ninth street car. AS car passed on
the opposite track the child started up
in her seat and declared that she saw
something passing. She didn't know
what it was, but moment later when
another car passed the child noticed it
and spoke of it again. DR.. Jenkins
tested the girl half a dozen times on the
way home, always on passing cars and
every time one passed she knew it and
spoke of it.
The child was kept very quiet all day
Thursday, but Thursday evening she
was taken out for a short walk. Moth
ing was said to her about trying to see,
but every time she passed a corner
where there was an electric arc light,
she called attention to it. She told her
sister, who was with her, that she
could see lights and she placed them
easily by pointing with her finger.
These things left no doubt about the
child having genuine vision, slight as it
was

AGAINST THE TIDE.

Rowing against the tide is
hard work, even when the boat
is light and the rover strong.
Every stroke takes away little
strength. The lungs work hard
to keep the blood supplied with
oxygen. Objects on the shore
seem to move past with dis
heartening slowness. Arms and
back ache, and courage fails.
The sick person, with slug
gish liver, bad blood and worse
digestion, is like a man pulling
against the tide. His struggle
to keep alive is heartbreaking.
His merciless mirror shows
pale, haggard face, with sunken
cheeks and eyes, either dull or
shining with the brightness so
often noticed in consumptives.
He needs treatment but no last
ing benefit may be expected
from that which is overgrown
with the moss of tradition. The
effective and reliable cure is
