Mesothoriun, Not

Institute Pays 100000 for
More Expensive Substance
DR.. Field Denies Dis
coyery Is More Efhcacious

Announcement yesterday Of the pur-
chase OF one-half gram of radium al
q cost of 100000 for the treatment Of
malignant diseases, chiefly cancer. a.
1he Radium Institute of Naw York. -05
Wes. Ttti' Street was acc mn.n.ed 1v
statement by Dr C. Essc4.t Field.
director OF the institute. t,st 10 sub
stitpte for radium had teen found. re-
cent claims for tho heasng oual:ties
Of mesothorium Notwithstanding.
NO false impression should be al
lowed to be created at a time when
rsdium has proved its efficacy in cancer
treatment,' said DR.. Field, who charged
that the sac Of mesothorum, by
product of thorium. has been fol owed
oy statements by certain chemists that
TINS mo recently found substance is
not only cheaper than radlum but SUI
perior to it,
Before quoting such scientists as Sir
Lrnes. RAlherf- rd. of mbridge; Dr
r. H. G ew, Of L9ndou Professor "
H. Bragg, OF London University; Pro-
fesscr Frederick Soddy. Of Oxford and
DR.. lrcnside Bruce, OF London, DR..
Field said:
NcSOtnOfluM cannot take the place
of radiUm. During the war, mesothor-
iIm byproduct of tborium, which
is produced from the monazlte sands
Of Brazil, was manufact red largely
in the United States England and
France offered no buyers and q propa-
eanda was created for its sale in this
country. This propaganda was to the
effect that mesOthorium was cheaper
and better than radium in its healing
qualities.
As a matter Of fact it has been
proved that mesothorium ,oses so per
cent of its energy in ten years wal e
radium loses only l per cent in twenty
five years. Mesothorium. as compared
with radlum. Is harmful. because it dis
integrates $50 times faster than rad
iur'
We know there are at least 10000
cases of cancer in New York that
should be treated. We also know that
with radium we have had wonderful
success in battling this disease. These
are only few Of the reasons why il
is unfair to the public to state that
mesothorium is better and cheaper
than raa.um. It has 0ot been proved
SO. and until it is we should do all we
can with the remedy we have tested
so successfully.
