ed for radium, how many have stood

Sir Frederick Treves in lecture at
the London Hospital last year summed
up the situation in way which should
give food for thought to the general
public, who are too apt to be led
away in pursuit of vain hopes.

WHAT CAN
RADIUM CURE?

The gift of a gramme of radium
made by Sir Ernest Cassel to the new
Radium Institute, which he founded
at the suggestion of the late King, will
inaugurate a series of experiments OF
great significance. To this institute,
now practically ready for work, and
to kindred institutions the scientific
world is eagerly looking for further
knowledge of this mysterious element
For in the elucidation of the powers
of radium lies the answer to the vital
question: What can radium cure?
Twelve years of eager experiment
have passed since Prof. and Mrs. Curie
announced the discovery of radium.
Almost at once reports of the curative
powers of the new mineral were pub
lished. Has radium, after twelve years
tests, justified that early reputation?
The diseased states in which radium
has been tried range from the most
malignant internal cancers to bald.
ness. Such widely diverse ailments "a
facial paralysis, neuralgia, rheumatism
hydrophobia, indigestion, and skin dis
eases have been reported as cured by
the wonderful new mineral. A few
years ago reports of cure of hydro.
phobia in rabbits presented to the
Scientific Academy of Bologna by a
we'll known Italian professor evoked
such enthusiasm that it was freely
conjectured that the Pasteur treat
ment of hydrophobia would soon be
pushed into the background by the

who want a special committee OF new SEN

the Lorimer case and those who want the
whole question of a second investigation
referred to the standing committee on
privileges and elections were begun in the
senate today. When IL appeared that the
resolution reported from the committee
on contineuent expenses 10 provide funds
for another probe OF the bribery charges
filed against the Illinois senator were GER
tain to arouse a squall the whole matter
was allowed to go over until another. day.
The discussion was on the La Toilette
resolution which proposed that another in

be borne by the senate contingent fund.
The resolution named five new senators,
headed by Works OF California.
Several senators who voted In favor Of
Senator Lorimer last session asked that
the resolution be referred to the standing
committee on privileges and elections.
It became apparent at once that such a
motion, If e&rried. which would be equiva :
lent TO the Reputation of the proposed
special committee. would provoke a great
deal OF debate. 1t is expected to come UP
again on Monday.
