GIVING UP USE OF RADIUM
Through Constant Study at Hands Of
Experts, Better Understanding of
Its Action Attained.

The outburst of sensational discus
sion of radium as cure for cancer
having subsided, this method of treat.
ment is finding it's true place and value
as an aid to surgery. Through con-
stant study at the hands of many ex.
perts new and better understanding
latest statement from an authoritative
source is found in the annual report of
the Harvard cancer commission.
At the Coils P. Huntington hospital
In Boston 200 milligrams of radium are
in use under all the advantages of new
and ingenious methods of application
devised by the hospital staff. AS a
result of another whole year Of obser.
vation, the Harvard commission re.
peats it's conclusion first published in
1914 that the curative value of radium
is limited to certain types of skin can
Ger and other localized forms of the
disease. Its value as a palliative in
relieving pain and discharge in inoper
able cases has been fully confirmed.
It has also been found effective in
leukemia, disease marked by an enor
nous increase in the white blood cells
with enlargement of the spleen. Large
cancerous growths were sometimes
found to disappear under the influence
of radium, but the spreading of the
cancer to other parts of the body was
not prevented in these cases, and in
deed it appeared that the patients
might even succumb to the poisons re
leased into the system as direct re
suit of the breaking up of the tumol
under radium treatment.
Most significant of all is the state
ment that radium treatment has been
refused at the Huntington hospital in
cases where a surgical cure seemed
reasonably probable.-Journal Ameri

Care of the Baby in Summer

spoonful of borax dissolved in little
water may be added to three quarts oil
water to soften it. Very little SOAP
should be used and that a very bland
simple soap, like CASTLE. Never rub
the soap directly on the baby's skin
and be sure that it is thoroughly
rinsed off, as very troublesome skin
disease may result if harsh soap is
used or if soap is allowed to dry on
the skin.
Use a soft wash cloth made from a
piece of old table linen, towel, knitted
underwear, or any other very soft
material, and have two pieces, one for
the face and head and one for the
body. The towel should be soft and
clean also. Even in summer the baby
should be protected from a direct
draft when being bathed lest he be
too suddenly chilled.
A young baby should be carefully
held while in the tub. The mother
puts her left hand under the baby's
left arm and supports the neck and
head with her forearm. But an older
baby can sit alone and in summer
may be allowed to splash about in the
cool water for a few minutes.
