new METHODS
ARE FOUND TO
DETECT CANCER
Use of Radiu1n and X-Ray III
Many Cases Delays Growth
of Dreaded Disease

Two new methods of diagnosing
or detecting internal cancer in its
early stages are reported from Eu-
rope.
While biologists and bio-chemists
are working to discover the funda-
mental nature and cause Of can
cert, surgeons and physicians are of
necessity concerned chiefly with
treating cancer when IT occurs.
An external cancer is readily dis
covered. But an internal one is far
more difficult to detect.
Since at present the success with
which medical men can combat a
cancer is in direct ratio to the earli-
ness with which it is discovered, it
can be seen at once why the new
European advances are so import
ant.
The first method of diagnosis IS
the work of DR.. Kotzareff and Keyl
of Geneva, Switzerland.
They have discovered that If a
dilute solution of serum containing
radioactive substances in colooi-
dial or pasty state is injected into a
patient suffering from cancer,
peculiar phenomenon takes place.
For some unknown reason, al 1.-The
radioactive substance becomes To-
callized in the cancer growth.
If a sensitive photograph plate
is then exposed for some hours over
the suspected part of the body, the
outline of the cancer is found upon
the plate as a result Of the action of
the radioactive substance.
The second method of diagnosis
has been worked out by DR.. Bothel-
no of the so-called Hotel Dieu, the
famous hospital near Notre Dame in
Paris.
This method, it seems, does not
give the exact location of the cancer
growth but merely indicates can
cerous condition in the patient.
In this test some of the blood Sc
rum from the patient is mixed with
dilute nitric acid and an iodine
reagent. If the patient is normal
DR.. Bothelho says that the serum re-
mains clear. If the patient has can
Ger. the serum becomes cloudy.
Concerning the treatment of can
Ger, early surgery, according to the
statement of DR. Erwin F. Smith
president of the American Associa-
ton for Cancer Research, still re-
mains the best treatment.
DR.. Smith adds, however, that the
use of radium and X-ray IN many
cases delays the growth of cancer
and in some cases seems to have
effected cures. In the case of these
cures, DR.. Smith thinks it is too
early yet to say whether the patients
have been permanently cured.
DR.. Smith also issues a warning
about the use of radium and X-ray,
In the hands of incompetent work
ers. he says. They are deadly
weapons. "

1923 Euclid Street Northwest


Il like to think Of the motion
picture as a nuclus around which
a community builds its friendships.
1t is pleasant to hear the neigh
borly invitation of come along to
the movies with us. get a
lot of pleasure from the front
row laughter of the children and
the grown-ups sTy winks as the
comedy is shown.
What asked an old friend
do you think of the Sunday
motion picture shows?'
Well, I'll tell you there aren't
many places where you can throw
a rope around one or two thou
sand persons and find tncm in
less devilment than at a picture
show he replied.
That is probably true. One
doesn't see/ many children running
the streets at night. They have
all gone to see Charlie. The
young men who seem to enjoy the
appearance of being loafers get
restless about 8 o'clock and
soon the gang goes to the nearby
movie show Even mother and
dad forget the trials OF the day
just closed and enjoy the make
believe world of the screen.
During the recent war, the
motion picture theatre proved its
existence for other than CONNER,
cial purposes. The various drives
found best expression in the neigh
borhood theatres. The great
amount subscribed proved how
easily the heart Of the American
people was reached through mo-
ton pictures.
"A few weeks ago a church
burned in a little Western town.
The following Sundays services
were held in the auditorium of
the movie theatre. The ease with
which various community clubs OBJ
tain the use of the theatre in
the afternoon has brought the cact
before the people that not only
are motion pictures an asset to
the exhibitors. but that, through
them, the community is being
served and strengthened in many
ways"
You will not find 1t difficult to
write a 300-Word letter on the
movies. Everybody has thoughts
about them and your thoughts to-
day may mean wonderful trap
for you, 50 send in a flock of
