Dr.. Mayo Says Cancer
Is Durable Disease
Famous Surgeon Heals 379 Of 1000
Aids .246-Without Resorting
to Radiun

ROCHESTER,, MINI, Feb. In
view OF the general interest IN radium
as cure for cancer. Dr. william J.
Mayo declares that the dread disease IS
durable, and gives statistics setting
forth the results Of his own treatment.
Taking into consideration the fact that
the Mayo brothers stand at the head of
their profession as surgeons and are
recognized the world over, IL is signiti-
cant that no mention Of radium as a
cancer cure is made.
Says DR.. Mayo.
After eighteen years Of special in
vestigation Of cancer Of the stomach we
are assured that 1t is a cura bic disease.
Nearly e-third OF all cancers occur in
the stomach, so our investigation proves
mat cancer is a cura bic disease
OF course, cancer Of the stomach can
not be cured in all cases out OF l. 900
cases operated on between January /,
1884 and December 81 1912, 1878 resulted
in cures 246 patients were improved and
their nves prolonged, and 376 were given
up as hopeless after exploratory opera
tons. Perhaps all OF these cases could
have been cured II the disease had been
diagnosed in time "

them to light-that at Berlin lnvolv-

alleged. accepted commissions from a
German firm that had contract for

According TO adViCes received in
Washington the navy graft scan

the story is told in Toxic that a Jap

documents which, il was asserted
would establish that "A number of high
