Justice to the new cancer treatment
which is being eagerly discussed in
the German medical world. A fuller
account, which is now available.
proves that even II a cure for cancer
has not been found, at least a sub
stitute for radium has been discover
ed, which is far cheaper than that
costly clement. and also much more
plentiful, although II is extremely ex-
pensive. Ii is also safer to use than
radium.
Optimists claim that an effectual
treatment for cancer has at last been
discovered Even the more cautious
of physicians do not deny that Won
derful results have been achieved, but
they demand longer period for ex-
periments and tests.
