more data on that deadly affection
A few suspected cases were being
held In the detention quarters or the
immigration bureau, and he was
anxious to see them. SO little Is
known of the disease that every case
offers new opportunities for labora-
tory study. This doctor examined the
suspects, went back to his laboratory,
and few days later was stricken by
the very malady that he had been
fighting for years. The disease that
he had been fighting so long had
turned upon him. He was dead with
In forty-eight hours after he was at
tackled. All the knowledge that he
and his colleagues had gained In the
last half dozen years proved useless
and helpless in stopping the coming Of
death.
Simon Flexner. the worlds great
est authority on cerebrospinal menin-
gifts and kindred diseases, was sum
moned, and did all that was in his
power Serums that have proven eff
fective in thousands and thousands
of cases gave no relief from the
steady advance Of death. There was
no response to its powers in the
nerves and muscles of the man who
was at last lying in the grip of his
enemy. Many New York specialists
watched by his bedside and fought the
destroyer with all the weapons at

malady had claimed it's vengeance
The work of the dying man and his
co-laborers had saved thousands, but
in the end he was unable to save
himself.
A sort Of superstition has grown
up among physicians. The feeling is
common among them that the man
who specializes on any particular dis
ease is liable to become its victim
some time or another in life. His own
particular specially is looked upon as
being especially fatal to him If he is
ever stricken.
Some years ago there was a spe
cialist on mental diseases In st. Louis
who was recognized as one of the
nations authorities on insanity. He
was lecturer Of more than Local,
note on his favorite subject and his
text books are still found in the
Libraries of the older physicians. Some

The physician has often forfeited
his life In his search for the causes
that lie back Of the most elusive dis
eases. Something of the same spirit

Last July DR.. Kassabian Of New
York died of skin cancer brought on
by the X-ray He had been burned
time after time by their mysterious
radiance. He had been dying for
years. In the years that he was SLOW
ly wasting away under the inroads OF
the malady he was giving relief to
thousands. He saw that he was
doomed ten years before his death.
In common with practically every X
ray man in the world he had been
suffering at various times from burns
caused by this mysterious energy that
is given off by the Roentgen ray. He
always maintained the greatest Sc
In 1902 he came to the conclusion
that he was doomed to die sooner
or later from the effects of his burns.
In 1908 two of his fingers were am
putated. Skin cancer had begun to
appear upon his left hand and later
1t began to move slowly up his arm.
Last year 1t was found that the ray
induced cancer had reached the glands
under his left arm. DR.. Chalmers da
Costa of the Jefferson Medical college
was called to New York to perform
an operation. The ray irritated flesh
would not heal after the glands were
removed. Kassabian, who had fought
with cancer so long, was slowly sink
ing and still another operation was
decided upon. The glands on the
right side of the chest were removed.
1t was useless. In the meanwhile the
whole Of his left side had become af-
fected and there was nothing that
could be done.
Thomas A. Edison lost valuable
assistant because of similar burns
some years ago. Still another death
in the medical profession, brought
about by these powerful rays, was that
of DR.. Louis Weigel Of New York.
