The question IL not how to make

think, solves the road problem.

VIRTUES Oh RADIUM.

Curious Instances in Which the New

The experiments OF scientists with

curious instance of its influence says
the London Mail. is that recorded below
of the cure Of somnambulist who was

ing wit radium.
He entity treated a case Of rodent
ulcer Of the orbit, which had destroyed
the ocular globe and all the tissues. Al
though the patient had for two years
suffered from pains so intolerable that
during that period he had not enjoyed
a single nights rest, his agony was COM
pletely and almost instantly ended by
the introduction Of radioactive powder.
External application Of radium has
shown that It is powerful agent in
calming neuralgia and rheumatic palms
and In allaying the excruclating suffer-
ing caused by cancers which cannot be
operated upon. On the other hand, DR..
Darier is bound to admit that he failed
to obtain any definite result in so far as
an Improvement Of the vision Itself Is
concerned and he does not regard az
serious the talk Of those who speak Of
restoring sight to the blind
In a case treated b. the doctor wom-
an who had long suffered from epleptlc
fits and glddIness has not had a single
attack since radium Of weak intensity
was applied TO the temple.
"Radium was also tried with success."
said Or. Darler "on a male patient who
suffered from strange somnambullstlc
attacks, during which he would ret up,
maltreat his wife and break everything
within reach Then he would leave the
house and roam about the streets for
two or three hours, at. the end Of which
time he would return home. go to bed
and fall asleep again. SO frequent did
these violent fts become that his wife
left him.
"IIe came TO me and treated him with
radium applications for ~ days Then
he disappeared. and / heard nothing
