From an experience Of two years and review
Of medical literature, DR.. Metzenbaum classes
radium with the Finsen light. x-rays and SURGE
~ in the treatment Of lupus, and with surgery
and the x-rays IL the treatment Of rodent ulcer
and small surface cancers. In these cases heal
ing is rapid and apparently permanent. while the
beneficial effects Of radium are obtained from
tubes Of low activity, costing but few dollars.
Deep-seated, malignant growths seem beyond
the influence of radium rays. and the expected
benefit in blindness has not been realized, while
radium cannot take the place of Trays for ska
graphs on account of the length Of exposure
necessary and the irritation that would result.
Radium has some effect in making ulcer scars
smooth, pliable and healthy in appearance.

The Craveri method of preserving meat lately
found by Italian experts to promise advantages
over all other processes consists in draining the
veins Of the slaughtered animal, and then injec-
ting solution of 100 parts OF water 25 of kitchen
salt and of acetic acid to the amount Of one
tenth Of the living weight. In the Turin tests,
treated sheep and calf were hung for 70 days
in cellar at Gle +. They were then skinned.
dressed and cut up. when the flesh was found
fresh in appearance with no trace of putrefac-
ton, and proved to be tender unusually we'll
