Baltimore, Dec. 2I.-An important
change was made to-day in the radium
treatment Of the New Jersey Repre-
sentative in Congress from Passaic'
Robert G. Bremner, at DR.. Kelly's san
atorlum. DR.. Lewis and other assist
ants OF DR.. Kelly. in the latters ap-
sence at Syracuse. y. T.. removed the
eleven tubes containing 100000 worth
of radum from the malignant growth
i'm Mr.. Bremner's shoulder ana lett
breast. After some hours several TUBES
were reinserted and the other TUBES
were placed on the outside or the SKIN.
Whether the insertion Of the eleven
tubes directly into the growth was too
severe and an external application was
considered to be less painful were not
explained Nurses and others at the
sanatorium will say little about the
case. There is no doubt, however, that
Mr. Bremner's malady is malignant
cancer and that his condition Is seri-
Gus.
DR. Lewis said il would be a day or
two before the effect OF the radium
would be made plain. Miss Helen
Bremner. who is her brothers secre-
tarv. comes over from Washington
every evening to see him after she has
attended to her secretsrial duties. She
is hopeful Of the entire success OF the
~adium treatment.
MY brother has been feeling better"
she said to-day He is man OF very
rugged constitution, and we are hope
full that the treatment he Is receiving
will result in his cure. 1t is too early
yet to give any definite indications. as
il takes forty-eight hours, / believe,
before the effects of the radium appli-
cation become noticeable. My brother
went to the sanatorium on Thursday
morning in my company. or course.
am deeply anxious about him and am
spending as much time as possible with
him"
Miss Bremner and Smiling Bob as
her brother is known. are devoted com
panions. being almost inseparable She
is almost as familiar a figure in Con-
gressional circles as he, and Is known
and popular everywhere.
Mr. Bremner has not been forced TO
give up his work because Of the disease,
except when he has been under surgical
treatment. He has continued his duties
in Congress despite the great pain and
inconvenience lie suffered. For some
tine he found it necessary to carry his
arm i'm a sling.
II was four years ago that Congress
man Bremner first noticed small hard
srot in his arm, according TO his sister.
To-day the cancer menaces his life, so
steadily has it grown, despite numerous
operations by the country's leading sur
Coons to stay its growth.
Surgeons who have examined the
growth declare the use Of the rare min
eral to be the only chance Of hating
the progress OF the cancer.
The operation is one Of the most
notable in medical practice in this
country, and if successful will mark a
new step in medicine. The amount OF
radium is the largest ever used in Il
single operation.
