USED IN CURE OF CANCER
Berlin and Other Cities Accommodating
Radium and Mesothorium
for Purpose.

Bcrlin.-The municipality OF Berlin
is following the example of three or
four other German cities and is max
Ing arrangements for obtaining a sup
ply of radium and mesothorium. In
view Of the increasing Importance
which they are obtaining in the fight
against cancer. Directors of hospitals
under the municipality have been ask
ed to make detailed reports on the
subject
While it is an undoubted fact that
German medical authorities are grow
ing more inclined to favor radium in
their treatment of cancer, 1t must be
pointed out that none of them regards
radium as an absolute cure, and that
the greatest caution must still be used
before any definite judgment can DO
passed on its efficiency.
Professor Czerny, whose name 1.
highest among cancer authorities,
maintains that surgical operation in
the early stages of the disease is SUI
perior to any other method OF treat
ment and certainly gives the best pros
pect OF permanent relief. The profes-
sors is extremely cautious in his judy
ment on radium, while admitting that
in certain stages of cancer and where
the disease can be easily reached ra-
dunn unquestionably is powerful pal
liative.
