PHYSICIAN DYING
From X-RAY'S USE
GROWTHS LIKE CANCER, CAUSED
BY Experimenting, ARE
DECLARED FATAL.
MANY GO THE SAME ROUTE
Thirty or Forty Lose Lives in Trying
to Further Cause of Science by
Use of the Deadly
instrument.

Philadelphia, Pa, July IA. - DR..
Charles l.. Leonard, chief of the
polytechnic hospital staff, an expert in
electro-therapeutics, is in serious
condition from the use of the X-Ray.
Growth in one hand made it necessary
some time ago to remove the hand,
and recently the Ehole arm has been
removed in an effort to check the
spread of the disease.
Worked With Rays Long.
DR.. Leonard has been working with
the rays for many years. He assisted
DR.. William l.. Clark, also of Philadel-
phia, in treating with the rays Bur
ton e. Baker, the Roentgen ray ex-
pert who died in Hartford, Conn. Sur
geons are using every means in their
power to check the disease but they
agree that there is no certain cure.
DR.. Clarke, who is an expert on the
Eoentgen rays for the University of
Pennsylvania and chief of the depart
ment of acknowledgements at ST.
Agnes hospital, said that the rays

also cause them when a person has
been continually subjected to the rays,
and that many medical and scientific
men were giving themselves as mar
tyrs to their profession.
Many Lives Sacrificed.
DR.. Joseph O'Mally, medical chief
of st. Agnes hospital, said that there
have been some thirty or forty lives
lost through the continual use of the
Roentgen ray.
The victims were all scientific men,
who used the rays continually. Eigh-
teen or twenty deaths of scientific
men have occurred in the United
States alone within the last decade,
he said.
DR.. O'Malley said that the rays had
been used successfully in treating
superficial cases of cancer, but that no
cure had yet been found for advanced
cases. Radium is being used in Phila-
delphia hospitals on cases where an
operation cannot be performed be-
cause of the location of the cancer
and good results have already been
achieved by it's use.

FOUND A WAY
To Be Clear of Coffee Troubles.

Husband and myself both had the
coffee habit, and finally his stomach
and kidneys got in such bad condi-

skin was yellow, and there didn't
seem to be an organ in his body that
was not affected.

was due to coffee and after some dis

1T was a struggle, because Of the
powerful habit. One day we heard
about Postum and concluded to try It

PecnIiar Pets.

An English major with a penchant
for entomology asserts that the hor-
net is "a gentle, inoffensive creature
very suitable for pet" This re-
minds one of an incident in the life Of
the late Lord Avebury. Travelling one
day on railway train with pet
wasp in his pocket, he hurriedly
thrust his hand into his pocket to get
his ticket, and the wasp stung him. He
did not blame the wasp, however, as
his hurried action had frightened the
creature. Wasps have frequently be-
come pets, but the major is said to-
be the first to turn the hornet into
one.
