CURED
At ADVANCED
STAGE
New York Physician Cites.
Miraculous Effect Of
Radium and x-Ray

NEW YORK, May 16. Details Of
the complete recovery Of patient
suffering from advanced cancer
after the malignant growth had
spread throughout the body were re-
lated today by Doctor William II.
Livingston, of the Montefiore Hos
pital.
The cure, Effected by the use Of
radium and X-rays, was declared to
be the only one Of this, character
ever observed by Doctor Livingston
In many years of experience in the
treatment of the disease.
-Four years ago." Doctor Living
ston said, miss Celia Treubits,
thirty-eight. developed cancer in the
right breast. The entire breast was
removed and few months later,
the growth had spread to all Of the
bones of the body, and also the
skull. The patient became entirely
paralyzed.
Two years ago Miss Treubitz
came to Montefiore Hospital.
Weighed Less Than 50 Pounds.
"She weighed less than fifty
pounds, and we had virtually no
hope for her recovery. Every other
case Of this character l have en-
countered has resulted in death,
without exception.
Miss Treubitz was treated with
the X-ray and radium and has now
fully regained her health and nor
NAL weight"
Radium, Doctor Livingston said,
is not directly applied to the body in
the treatment, but instead, its ener.
gies are impaired to glass tubes in
a manner similar to the transfer Of
a magnetic fux from one conductor
to another. The process resembles
electrical induction.
Method Of Application.
after they are charged with ra-
dium energy, the glass tubes are in
closed in a metal containeN and ap-
piled to the infected spot, attached
by adhesive tape. The intense lines
of force generated by the radium
energy, penetrate the tissue, attack
ing first the parasitic growth, which
has less resistance than normal It's
sue.
Each application is continued
from three to six hours. II applied
too long the normal tissue will be
scared.
$50 powerful are the forces dis.
charged from the small glass tubes
that 1t would be impossible to carry
these in the hands for more than a
moment without being burned, -
Doctor Livingston said.

DON'T PLAY POLITICS

The two most urgent public ques-
tions at present time are tax re-
duction and dealing with corruption
which has been unearthed in official
circles in Washington.
President Coolidge feels with ali
his fellow countrymen a depressing
sense of humiliation at the gross be-
trayal of public interest that has
been disclosed.
The taxation question as well y
lax or criminal action of officials per-
forming public duty is a problem for
both Republicans and Democrats.
The people of the whole United
States have an interest from the
standpoint of lessening tax bills and
securing honest administration Of
public affairs regardless of what
party is in power.
The pity is that self-seeking poll
ticians will attempt to use the present
situation to further political ends
rather than to advance the best
interests of our government.
We must register our approval of
honest public officials and demand
tax reduction if we expect to elimin-
ate dishonesty in public office, or in,
creasing fax bills.
