Pittsburg, Pa, Apr. 6.=That Pres
ident Taft has interested himself in
the proposition of life saving through
the treatment of tuberculosis and
cancer by the use of vanadium, n re-
Gently discovered metal, is the news
given out in Pittsburg today.
An official of the American Vanadi-
um Company, with headquarters in
Pittsburg, has within the past week
been in conference with Mr.. Taft at
Washington, and ]. j. Flannery of
Pittsburg, a millionaire promoter and
the head of the American Vanadium
Company, is here on his way from
Paris after conference with Prof.
Helois, the expert who recently dis
covered that the new metal contained
medicinal properties of great value.
The metal vanadium, 1t has been
discovered, according to adyices from
Paris, has astounding effects on con-
sumption and cancer when reduced
to liquid form and administered to
patients internally.
Up to this time vanadium has been
used as sort of nickel alloy to hard
en- armor plate.
Ii is learned today that vanadium
has been recently considered by the
scientific world as secondary radi-
um, retaining much of the marvellous
qualities of the latter and making it
applicable to the seat of internal
trouble of the human system. In the
liquid form by which the experiments
are made the vanadium is to be used
in quantities most minute.
Up to the present time (and the
experiments have been carried on in
Pittsburg most extensively vanadi-
um has been used only in hypoderm-
les. Pittsburg interests have asked.
however, that the matter be taken up
by the government and a hospital
where the idea can be thrashed out

with the proper appropriation.
