RADIUM AS FOE TO CANCER
New Method of Applying Metal
to Deep Seated Cases.

A new method OF treating deep seat
ed cancer has been tried in Chicago and,
it is said, with success. The, process
embraces the idea of applying radium
directly to the affected tissue by using
an instrument called a cystoscope, by
means of which the radium can be in
troduced into the throat or stomach
through the mouth.
This instrument consists of piece of
tubing supplied with an eyepiece at
one end and q tiny screen covered with
sulphide of zinc at the other, a small
quantity of radium being placed In
front Of the screen. Several lenses In
side the tube enable the operating ply
stefan to look through it into the stOm-
ach, throat or other part Of the anat-
omy where a cancer may be located.
When the radium is applied to the
affected tissue its light is increased in
brilliancy by the action Of sulphbde OF
zinc, and thus the physician is able 10
examine closely the condition Of the at
fected tissue at the same time the
treatment is in progress.
The subject of treating deep seated
cancer by means Of radium has now
reached the point" said Professor W..
C. Fuchs, who devised. the new process,
where scientific men are asking them
selves the question, Since radium has
all of the therapeutic action of the X
ray, and since the latter has been
known to cure superficial cancer, why
could not radium be used to cure deep
seated cancer by applying it internally,
so as to bring its effects directly against
the affected tissue?
"This application can readily be ac-
complished by the use Of the cystic
scope, which also obviates the necessity
of destroying healthy tissue in front of
the diseased portions as in applying
the Y ray. The new method of treat
ment can thus be used where the x
Pay would prove unaviling T. efFectfng
a cure"

Tendency Of the Times.

The tendency of medical science is
toward preventive measures. The
best thought of the world is being Civ
en- to the subject. 1t is easier and bet
ter TO prevent than to cure. 1t has
been fully demonstrated that pneu-
mona, one of the most dangerous die
eases that medical men have contend
with. can be prevented by the use of
Cham berlain's Cough Remedy. Pneu'
monia always results from cold or
from an attack of influenza grip, and
it has been observed SthaJ this remedy
counteracts any tendency OF these dis
eases toward pneumonia. This has
been fully proven in many thousands
of cases In which this remedy has been
used during the great prevalence of
colds and grip in recent years. and
can be relied upon with implicit conf
dence Pneumonia often results from
a slight cold when no danger is appre-
hended until it is suddenly discovered
that there is fever and difficulty in
breathing and pains 10 the chest, then
il is pronounced pneumonia. Be Oh
the safe side and take Chamberlain
Cough remedy as soon as the cold is
contracted. 1t always cures. For
sale by Dawson Drug Co, Dawson, and
Williford & Co Parrot.

A New Light.

For a number of years electrical ex-
perts, among them notably Professor
Crookes and Mr. Nikola Tesla, have
been trying to produce for practical
purposes a cold, wireless, electric light,
a light that does not consume. Mr.. d.
McF. Moore of the United States, it Is
claimed, has now solved the problem
by perfecting his invention of electric
tube lighting, says Harper's Weekly.
The system is based on the projection
of a converted current Of electricity
through length Of glass tubing which
has been exhausted. The current in
flowing through the ultra gaseous mat
ter in the tube gives off a brilliant phos-
phOrescent light all along its path.
This light is hardly distinguShable
from daylight in color and quality. 1t
ia said to he at least % per cent cheap
or than incandescent light. 1t has no
disagreeable or injurious effect on the
eyes, and Il is perfectly safe.

RABBIT OUTRUN BY A MAN
Novel Race Won BY Virginia.:
Lieutenant Governor.

Joseph e. Willard the digniied lied
tenant governor of Virginia and presi-
dent of the senate, has proved himself
the feetest footed man in the Old Do
miniOn, having beaten a rabbit in a
race in which neither was handicapped,
says Richmond dispatch.
Colonel Willard is young and active.
He is likewise fond Of hunting. Fur
thermore, he is tender hearted, dislik-
ing extremely to hurt anything.
The rabbit in question was discover
ed in it's bed in an open field by the
lieutenant governor and might have
been killed without difficulty, but Colo
mel Willard declined to take any mean
advantage. He laid his gun down in
the field and said, IF that rabbit can
beat me running, he can go wherever
he chooses"
Then he stirred the rabbit up, and
there was tight race across the field.
Colonel Willard gained steadily and
lust before the woods were reached
succeeded IN catching the rabbit by the
hind leg. 1t was a remarkable feat.

pathway clear for them, says Golden
Penny. There are a great many blind
persons in Japan, and if they were to
employ the makeshift of a child or dog
