New X-Ray Cure for Cancer
Claimed by New York Doctor

A method of determining correct
dosage in the administration of X-ray
treatment, which apparently makes
almost certain cures in cases of super
fetal cancer, was announced yesterday
by DR.. William II. Meyer, director of
the X-ray department Of the New York
Post Graduate Medical School and
Hospital, Twentieth Street and Second
Avenue. In four years fifty consccu-
tive cases of superficial cancer have
been cured by DR.. Meyers method. he
says. Observation of these cases over
periods OF from two to four years
ease.
DR.. Meyer told The Tribune that the
Importance of the discovery lay in the
fact that it standardized X-ray treat
ment of cancer and made it possible
for the physician to know exactly what
results would follow given course
of treatment in given case He en-
phasized the danger Of too great opti-
mism on the part of cancer sufferers.
and declared that while lengthy re-
search might lead to helpful discover
les in regard to the treatment of deem
seated cancer, the cases upon which
his findings are based are cases of
superficial cancer only.
The use of the X-ray in cancer treat
ment is, of course, not new, DR.. Meyer
explained. Previously. however, the x
ray has been used with varying sue
cess, owing to the difficulty of deter
mining the correct dosage.
"The X-ray may be made destructive,

Rhenish-W Westphalian industrial region
still is disturbing, for it is declared
that the revolutionary movement is
gaining strength, that the government

ed to retire, but the military clique
succeeded in holding him for two days
more. This clique is headed by Colo

Ludendorf himself is strongly sus-
pected of having been the chief con-
spirator behind Kapp. His house has
been under keen observation For sew
eral weeks, and many men who stirred

been seen entering and emerging.
These reports caused the Ebert off

Report to Governor Saws
Powerful and PeriI0us
Influence Is Working
to Defeat Welfare Bills
Sweet Giving Aid,
League Charges
Big Business Is Backing
Scheme, 1t Is Alleged;
Senator Lusk Accused
From a Staff Correspondent

ALBANY, March 22.--Mrs. Frank A.
Vanderlip, chairman of the New York
State League of Women Voters, a non
partisan organization, and several
other officers of the league called on
Governor Smith to-day and presented
charges against Mark A. Daily, the Buff
falo lobbyist, and Speaker Thaddeus
c. Sweet, of the Assembly.
The charges, embraced in a printed
report, alleged that a we'll financed
and active lobby and propaganda, aid
ed by Speaker Sweet, is exertng a
powerful and perilous influence over
public opinion in this state and is
interfering with open and orderly leg
islative action on important measures.
The report, which also was sent to
each member of the Legislature, de-
clares that the charges are the result
of an investigation covering several
months.
The women charge that the DAILY
lobby is backed by the Associated
Manufacturers and Merchants, of which
DAILY is secretary, and the New York
League for Americanism, another Daily
organization, which is characterized as
a pseudo patriotic propaganda insti-
tuition"
Blocking Welfare Bills
One of the specific charges is that
DAILY and his associates have been
chiefly instrumental in blocking the
so-called welfare legislation, notably
the eight-hour day and minimum wage
for women and the health insurance
bills.
Governor Smith told the women, who
spent upward of half an hour with
him in the executive chamber, that he
knew there was a powerful and we'll
organized lobby directed against these
measures.
Daly's relations with Speaker Sweet
have been subject of much discussion
here in the last two or three years.
Recently well-known man upstate, a
former Mayor, said in the presence Of
Mark Daily and two others that DAILY
had boasted he would contribute a
check in six figures to Sweets campaign
VIDE office. DAILY made no denial
Mrs. Vanderlip in her visit to the
Governor was accompanied by Miss
Evanetta Hare, of the Troy League of
Women Voters; Mrs. John c. Marion,
Of Utica; Mary E. Dreer, of the
Women's Joint Legislative Conference;
Mrs. George D. Pratt, Of New York
City, wife of the State Conservation
Commissioner; Mrs. H. Edward Dreier,
of New York, and Mrs Frederick s.
Green, wife Of the State Highway Com
missioner
Shocked Into Action
After the conference with the Gov
ernor Mrs. Vanderlip said:
I'VE women are astounded and in
dignant at the intrigue and trickery
which have been unearthcd through
this carefully made investigation. We
believe that the public should know
what we have discovered, and there is
still much to be told. To find that
public opinion is subverted by care
fully organized and underhand methods
has shocked us into action.
After coming upon widely separated
fragments of evidence, all pointing to
a common end, during our short expert
ence in public affairs, it has seemed
right to have a thorough investigation

stimulating or inhibitive," Dr. Meyer
said, according to the dosage. The
inability of the physician to predict
with certainty the results which would
follow use of the X-ray hitherto has
handicapped the success of the treat
ment. This disability the new method
of measuring dosage by absorption and
transmission will remove"
While the use of the absorption
method in the determination of correct
dosage is at the present time limited
to the POSTGRADUATE Hospital, there is
no reason. DR.. Meyer said, why it
should not be universal. He is at work
on a series of papers dealing with his
methods.
The treatment is neither a costly
adding that the average epitheloma
could be cured in FIVE minutes fter
the patient had been placed under the
ray. Neither does the length of dura
tion of the disease affect the result,
providing only that the deeper tissues
arc not affected.
Among the fifty successive cases
recorded" DR.. Meyer said, "there have
been cases which have only Just ap-
peared and others which have run q
course of years and have been treated
without success by other doctors.
I'VE are now working on penetration.
The same principles of absorption and
radio sensibility which play so large

sequence in the treatment of the deeper
disease"
DR.. Meyer has been engaged in X-ray
research work for sixteen years.

it made it's last appearance.

at sea and interfered with wireless
transmission.
Persons left their homes to stand on
street corners. They climbed to the
roofs. Riverside Drive was crowded.
In the Bronx many women and chill

Broadway and its arteries clogged the

The northern lights which explorers
tell of are not often visible in this
