Ann Arbor Mich, Feb. 1S.-The pos
sibility of using radium to convert or
binary rain and well water into a min
eral water, more highly medicinal than
any known natural mineral water. has
been demonstrated at the University
Of Michigan in a, series of experiments
covering the last ten weeks.
DR.. Rollin H Stevens, of Detroit,
skin disease specialist, who holds
lecture chair at Michigan, having spent
last summer in Europe studying ra-
dunn, returned recently to try his ra-
dunn outfit on cancer.
He hit upon the idea of immersing
radium tube in water, tightly closed
in glass bottles. DR.. Stevens was look
ing for a method by which radium
could be applied to the interior of a
cancer without any danger of the ter
rible radium, or X-ray, burns.
He worked on the known phenom-
enon that every substance, brought
even within a moderate distance of ra-
dunn, absOrbs the radium rays and af-
forwards gives them out exactly like
a radium tube. By leaving a sealed
tube in pure, distilled water for "a
hours he produced radioactive water,
of powerful effects, as his tests inme-
diately proved.
Injected into cancers this water
stopped pain in ten minutes His first
patient was a man whose allotted life
was one week, a sufferer from cancer
and an X-ray burn. This man took
morphine to endure his pain, but after
one application of the radium water he
was able to stop the morphine COM
pletely. Even in his weakened condi-
ton the homemade mineral water sue
ceSsful1y stopped craving for the drug
and also prolonged his life two months
Other patients now under the raoiuIn
water treatment include one with a
cancer of eighteen years standing, and
some of the ordinary nose and breast
cancers. The eighteen year cancer has
had six weeks of water treatment, and
from the first five minutes after APP
plying water pain has been almost
wholly absent. In each of the other
cases pains stopped Immediately, and
several poor sufferers were released
from the morphine habit which had
been forced upon them.
Apparently the water is curing every
one of these cancers, even the one with
an eighteen year history, for all of them
have steadily and consistently dimin-
ished in size, the worst one now being
only half it's former bulk. By the be-
ginning of March the mineralizing of
pure water will begin on a much larger
scale, for then radium tubes of 1885, 900
radio-activity will arrive. At present
Michigan has nothing stronger than
SO. 900 radio-activity. Radio-activity de-
fined means the number of times a
piece of radium is stronger than the
Influence of a piece of uranium, the
metal from which the first radium was
made.
DR.. Stevens theory about radium wa
ter based on his own ten weeks OBJ
servation, is that radium may not, as
commonly believed, cure cancer by
killing the germ. He says that no one
ever yet proved positively that there
was a germ to be killed. Watching the
cancer cells. he observed first that mi
mute holes appear in Them which en-
larged rapidly and quickly obliterated
the cell. He names his process absorp-
ton.
