RADIUM A CURE
FOR LOST VOICES
Wonderful Mineral Now Credited
with Relief of Cases OF
TumOr OF Throat.

In the current issue Of 1.-THE Post
Graduate" DR.. Thomas J. Harris OF
the New York Post Graduate Medical
School and Hospital, discussing Ra-
dunn in the Treatment Of Multiple "a
pilloma of the LarnyX," contributes
further evidence to the efficiency OF the
wonderful mineral as curative agent.
DR.. Harris SAYS that he confidently
believes" that in radium there is rem
edy for growths that impair the voice
Referring to specific cases. DR.. Harris
tells of six patients Of Dr.. Robert Aobe
and DR.. Wolff Prudential treated with
radium. In one case, that of woman
repeated operations failed TO restore
The voice. but "in February, 1901.
twenty milligrams Of radium was APP
piled. The growth, with the exception
of a minute remnant in the anterior
commissure. disappeared. on account
of the irritability Of the throat the
radium could be applied for only two
or three minutes at a time, total OF
twenty minutes. The following Janu-
airy she reported that she could talk
loudly again. Two years later small
bit of growth could he seen on the
right cord. At present she talks loudly
and plainly. The attending larnygolo-
gist had once shipped off little bit OF
growth, but he regards the case as
practically cured. This, as ~ as we
know. is the first case Of papilloma of
the larnyx treated by radium.'
Similar results are reported in several
other like cases.
DR.. Harris adds: This report rep
resents thirteen cases treated by ra-
dunn. All the authorities are agreed
upon the entire freedom from reaction
or other unpleasant results attending
its application. Its mode of action is
mysterious. Without any. apparent
slough the growth gradually disap-
pears. There is no immediate change
possibly a little alteration in the color
Of the tumor. The transformation can
be ikened to the work of nature in the
development of the flowers. The only
criticism which has been brought
against its use is that Of Killian, who
dwelt in the Berlin congress on the re
currence wont to follow. This is I'M
doubtedly true in the earlier cases re-
ported.
1T will be noted, however, that in the
cases treated in New York there has
been virtually no recurrence in any Of
Them, In two of them the observation
has extended over a period Of from one
TO three years. This is TO be undoubt-
edly ascribed TO the greater radio-ac-
tivity Of the radium employed. Instead
Of the weaker strength OF fifteen TO
twenty milligrams, one hundred MILL
grams have been used in the cases
treated by Able. Culbert and myself.
With a single exception, all the cases
treated by us in New York permitted
the introduction Of the radium per ridS
ndiurdicS, after proper coordination. A
celluloid retainer firmly attached to a
copper handle was the method en-
ployed. The great advantage of such
a procedure over any cutting method
from the outside is self-evident."

Railroads in Plight,
Asserts Erie Official

HOT SPRINGS. Ark. June 29.-De-
claring there is a silent revolution"
now in progress. where the Govern
ment's attitude to railroads is con-
cerned. and that because Of the
diversified responsibility" of the rail-
roads, and the exactions the Govern
ment has placed upon them. the sit
uation Is seriously tad," G. n. Orcutt,
assistant to President F. d. Under
wood, of the Erie railroad, voiced
some very emphatic opinions In a
statement he made here relative to the
relations now existing between the
Government and the big trunk lines.
THE Government" he said, by Its
control of railroads, to a great extent
controls its income. Organized labor
fixes the wage rate. The railroad Of
ficial is becoming less and less re-
sponsible factor in the operation OF
railroads.
No business on earth could prosper
with this diversified responsibility Gnd
control. and the railroad situation Is
seriously bad. The evil is not psyche
logical but 1t is financial-a plain
shortage of income and an abnormal
increase In cost of operation. The re-
suit is Just what would happen were
the same system applied to agricultural
or manufacturing interests"
