WARNED AGAINST QUACKS
IN RADIUM TREATMENT
New York City Board of Health Is
sues Statement to the Public
Regarding Cancer.

NEW YORK, February 7.-The city de-
ing against quacks who might seek to
take advantage of the popular interest
aroused by recent experiments with
radium i'll the treatment of cancer. In
its report the department says:
IN Niew of the popular furore which
the radium treatment of cancer has ex-
cited i'll this country, it seems advisable
to sound 1t note of warning. According
to the best authorities the radum treat
ineht OF cancer is as yet a matter of
experiment, and what successful results
have been obtained concern chiefly the
treatment of external cancers, particular
iy those of the skin Even though radium
may eventually prove of much greater
Value than has been the case in the past
II must not be overlooked that the first
princlple IN cancer treatment is still
early recognition and early thorough
removal
Thus far, there is practically no proof
mat radium has finally cured any case
OF advanced disseminated cancer There
uldr interest aroused in the radium treat
ment OF cancer will be utilized by q large
number of dishonest Inoney-getting
establishments conducted by individuals
with little or no radium and who have
no knowledge of its use. This has been
the experience i'll Europe, where the pop
ular enthusiasm about radium apneared
danger, of course. in all these cures is
the valuable time which may be wasted
thus frequently dissipating all chances
