William J. Hammer Declares the Idea Came
to Him in September, 1902.

William J. Hammer. a consulting engineer, of
No. 20 Cortlandt-st.. sent last night letter TO
The Tribune IN which he contested the claims
made by Dr. w. j. Morton and DR.. s. G.. Tracy
TO the discovery OF the idea utilizing radioactive
solutions for internal treatment of disease. Mr.
Hammer declared that the original conception OF
treating disease internally in this came TO
him in September. 1902. DR.. Morton says his ex-
periments have embraced the last six months. Dr.
Tracy the last three months.
His three distinct ideas. he said. first max
ing various solutions radioactive by placing them
near radium; second, making medicines In liquid
powdered and pill form radioactive that this prop
erty might be impaired to the intestinal organs
and third to introduce such medicines into the
system by means Of an electric current carrying
its properties into the blood underlying tissues
More than four months ago he supplied such
medicines Flower Hospital, he asserted On
October 81 he said. he read paper before the
American Physical Society at Columbia, on ''Phe
nomena OF Imported Radio-Activty," giving the
result OF his experiments.
