tractors, made especially for this pur-
pose. Semi-insulated electrodes were
used in order TO limit the action to the
area, and a current of 1000 mllliamperes
was allowed to pass. In from two to
three minutes the temperature OF the

OF temperature and the electrode was
removed. The coagulated mass had a
graysh color following the operation.
Several days later this peeled of and

Radlum Is receiving the careful atten-
ton of the research bureau OF the hos
pital. This department recently APP
pealed for a donation of 500 mAllgrams
of radum to he used in determining the
value of radium in the treatment Of
cancer. Its appeal read as follows:
This radium could DO given outright
or could he loaned to the institution for
the period Of five years. At the end OF
this time the doctors would return tho
radlum practically intact since the sub
stance would lose little OF it's virtue In
that time.
since one-half OF the New York Skin
sively to the treatment of cancer, its
authorities feel that It should be given
an opportunity to make an exhaustive
study of the value OF radium. No less
than the five hundred millgrams OF
radium are required. because in the
opinion OF medical experts less than
this amount IS not a fair test OF the
value of rddium.
1T II proposed 20 make an exhaustive
study OF the subject covering a period
OF five years. The history OF each case,
photographs and wax impressions OF the
cancers. the method OF treatment and
charts OF the conditions OF the patient
before and after the treatment would be
kept. After a great mony cases have
been treated the results OF the expert
meutatiou would be announced to the
medical world.
"The rGdlum would be used in three
Gle sses OF cases as follows:

tumors and benign growths especially

ELECTROMAGNETIC is n term applied
by Doyen. Paris, to designate the
method in which currents OF high fire.

Cancer cells are destroyed by q tenn

In 1907 Doycn claimed that the heat
produced by currents OF sufficient
strength caused a coagulation OF the
tissue and destruction OF cancer cells,
even at considerable depth, withou:
the destruction OF the normal cells.
Upon this theory his method of treat
ment Is being used n the New York
Skin ard Cancer Hospital.
The apparatus used consists OF a
portable stand which contains rheostats,
ammetcr. fuses, switches. &C., from
which lead the wlres-one pair TO a
small motor and the other pair, which
conducts the alternating current, to q
transformer. \ rolling table supports
large toothed wheel that is made to
revolve rapidly between two fixed cop
per plates connected to the source OF
high frequency and to a d'Arsonval
condenser. The sparks pass between
the copper plates and the revolving
teeth OF the wheel The number OF
revolutions OF the wheel can be regu-
lated from the switchboard, thus in

II has been claimed by De Heating
Hart that all forms Of cancer have re-
spondcd to fulguration. In advanced
cases he has noted important pallia-
tive results, such as suppression of pain

and p-olongation OF life in more than
20 per cent. of the tumors treated by
this method. Cancer OF the breast has

Is based upon the hypothesis that other
