"RADIUM ACTS ON CANCER
LIKE WATER ON FIRE"

WASHINGTON. Jan. I've can
not yet make the claim that radium
Is the solution OF the problem of treat
ment of cancer; we can only say that
Il acts as a mitigation. Because
enough radium is not to be had, the
problem In its larger phases Is still a
surgical one"
This was the ep!tome OF an address
BIZ Or. Howard A. Kelley. of Baltimore.
last night, which created wide discus
sion among physicians here today. A
movement was inaugurated. TO support
DR.. Kelley's plea that lands known to
contain radium- bearing ores should be
reserved for the government In an eff
fort TO increase the worlds supply.
Massive cancer" DR.. Kelley said
requires relatively massive radium
treatment Radium acts on cancer
like water on fire, but we cannot put
out a large confagration with one
bucketful of water"
