N. Y. BUYS RADIUM
TO FIGHT CANCER
Post Graduate College May Buy 100000
Worth for Research Work

New York, Aug. 1.-The radium which
the State bought is an American product,
mined in Colorado and brought across the
continent in the form of 125 tons of
carnotite ore, to the extraction plant at
Orange, n. j., where it is being reduced
by fractional disqualification. Radium Is
regarded as an extremely valuable agent
in the treatment of cancer. regarded as
the second most dangerous disease in the
United States.
DR.. Gaylord recalled that it was the
State of New York which in 1898 took
the lead by establishing the first modern
research in cancer in the world.
1.-THE scientific development of the last
two years in the use Of radium," said
DR.. Gaylord, largely through the work
of Prof. Duane of Harvard University.
made available means of using radium
which has immensely strengthened it's
usefulness. This method is the use of the
emanation of radium in place of the ap-
plication of radum itself. This method
is only available when you have at least
one gram"
Free treatment of cancer by the State,
made possible by the purchase OF two and
one quartz grams of radium for which
SD, 900 was appropriated by the Legisla-
ture, will be available beginning October
Is, 1t was announced yesterday by DR..
Harvey r. Gaylord. director of the State
Institute for the Study of Malignant Dis
eases, at Buffalo. In statement issued
from the offices of the Society for the
Control of Cancer. he referred to the
purchase as big forward step in public
health work. New York is the first State
to make purchase of this kind and
nowhere else is free radium treatment
obtainabe.
Any citizen of the United States will
be able to avail himself of the treatment,
but preference will be given to citizens
of this State. 1t will be necessary for
patients to go to the institute in Buffalo
for treatment.
Following announcement of the free use
Of the States radium supply came a
statement from officials at the New York
Post Graduate Medical School and Hos
pital outlining preliminary plans for the
establishment of radium research board
to study the cure and standardize treat
ment of malignant diseases. Steps now
