MEDICAL SCIENCE
ADVANCES RAPIDLY

Aided materially by the discov-
cry OF many. new and accurate
d~iagncstic methods as well as bv the
invention OF many, new instru-
mental aids. medical science has adj
vanced rapidly during the past two
decades" DR.. w. r.. Thomson Of
Beaumont said in an address before
the section on pathology Of the Tex
as State Medical association conven-
ton here yesterday.
The development Of the X-ray
machine has made it possible to nov
visualize any injuries to the stomach
and intestires and to institute the
appropriate remedies before irrep-
arabic damage has been DONE" he
told them.
With the invention Of the cysto-
scope II is now nm easy matter 10
explore the interior Of the bladder,
and. by obtaining the urine from
each kidney. separately. to deter
mine the presence OF disease and TO
measure with accuracy the function
Of the kidney" DR.. Thomson also
spoke Of the compound microscope
Of unususi magnifying power which
has greatly STRENGTHENED the accur-
acv and extent Of diagnosis.
Studies Of the blood serum have
given the medical profession the
Wassermann Test for the accurate
diagnosis Of syphilis when other evil
dence is unobtainable. They have
given the Vidal Test for diagnosis
Of typhoid fever and similar tests
for the diagnosis Of Malta fever and
other diseases. Information about
disease toxins from which we doc
tors learned about ~anti-toxins was
also gained from the studies OF
blood serum.
The study Of germ life and germ
habits has made possible the iso-
lation and cultivation OF germs from
the tissues of the body for the pur-
pose az determining accurately the
character of the disease which they
produce" DR.. Thomson stated.
The study Of the chemical COM
position Of the blood has shown
how to diagnose diabetes early. and
how to tell when failing kidney
function is permitting waste prod
ucts 10 accumulate in the blood.
Other valuable knowledge has
been gained through research in
metabolism and instruments for de-
termining the .metabolic rate. These
studies have given more accurate
knowledge concerning functions OF
the thryoid and other glands per-
hitting earlier and more accurate
diagnosis OF diseases that involve
these glands"
In conclusion. DR.. Thomson said,
The microscopical examination OF
tissues removed from tumors has
aided surgeons in making an earlier
diagnosis OF cancer and. in that way.
has contributed literally toward the
prevention Of death from that
cause"

testified. Continuing. he said that
he believes the land would not be
affected bv seepage unless the wa

been worth $500 an acre nc the time
OF its purchase. Felker stated.
Brummet paid $4,000
The service man further testified
that he offered to trade some OF his
own land for Brummet's in 1925.
On cross examination Felker re-
futed direct questions with empha-
tic Noes" He was asked II he
had not told Brummet that the land
was no good for citrus In 1926 when
they sought TO make a trade. Fell
ker answered mo" He was also
asked III he had not advised Brum-
met to remove the trees from the
land. This also drew a mo"
He stated that the first OF the
trees on the land died from seep-
age. Later some Of the trees died
from neglect. Felker said.

PURDIE ADDRESSES
CONVENTION DOCTORS

DR.. Robert M. Purdie of Houston,
addressing the Texas Medical asso-
citation in convention here today
stressed the Importance OF establish
ing a standard in the examination
Of urine for pus cells.
"A practical method for this pur-
pose in any laboratory is outlined"
he said. Essentially. the method
consists Of the examination Of un-
cent-ifuged urine, placing a small
drop or a glass slide. OVERLAPPING
this with a cover glass, and count
ing the number OF pus cells to q
high power microscopical field.
BY this method 1t has been found
that normal urine may contain none

THE FOUNTAIN at washington
Square. not so much to look ut In
daylight. is a thing OF real beauty
at night.
But 1t Is only the beginning in
the development OF a square
such as are found in some Of the
cities OF the country.
There should be, and one day will
be. two statues in Washington
Square.
One should be at the center of
the north half of the square, an
other at the center OF the south
half. --
One OF these should be q statue
OF General Zachary Taylor. whose
name has historical significance
here.
Another might be a statue de-
plotting General Porfirio Diaz. who
launched from Brownsville the
revolution that landed him in the
presidential chair Of Mexico for a
stay Of more than a third Of a
a century.
There are a half dozen heroes
10 select from.
President jefferson Davis Of the
Confederacy once served here. as
did General Robert Z. Lee. u. 8.
Grant. And there's Major Jacob
Brown.
Or a statue might be erected %
the memory Of Even Cameron. a
member OF the Inflated Mier expe-
dition. and for whom Cameron
county Is named.
In fact. there is no dearth of
heroes whose names might be hon
ored. All have local significance.
Perhaps a vote on the subject
might be taken at the proper time.
These statues would cost consid-
cradle money. Maybe as much as
100000. Maybe less.
They would be highly decorative.
And their erection would establish
permanently the historical signifi-
canoe OF the citv that bears the
name Of Brownsville.
Let's think about 1t.

The lemons were sent Mayor
Bass bv J. r. Vangant. now of La
Feria. formerly Of Chattanooga.
In a letter which he sent along
with the lemons Mr.. Vanzant took
occasion to tell some Of the Won
ders OF the Valley. and the Times
oblisingly carries 1t all in the

Z CANCER OF
CERVIX WITH RADIUM

1uIAIlGI hAiUMAtQEG COI4IG lilIlr lilC
treatment Of cancer ct cervix with
radium was presented here today by
DR.. @. l.. Noteworthy " San An
tonic before the sass session Of the
group on syneco,ogy obstetrics of
the Texas State Medical association
convention. DIR. Noteworthy based
his report on a series Of 90 cases
which were examined at the Nors-
worthy radium clinic.
OF these 222 cases. TIC were heard
from since March 1929 from which
he vas able 10 obtain useful statis-
tics. Or. Noteworthy explained his
tables Of classification Of this type
Of cancer cases. There were the pri-
mary cases which had received in
itial treatment at the clinic. those
which had received both radium and
operation. the operable. the inoper-
able. and the hopeless ones we're
discussed.
Comparison az the report made
at the Noteworthy radium clinic
with more than 20 surgical clinics
throughout the United States and
Europe was made. Although these
reports showed wide variation in
operability and primary operative
mortality. there was little differ
ence in the five-year cures.
"Of the cases that recover from
the operation. radium offers an
equal chance for five-year cures
with that Of radical h-ysterectomy;
and about 1876 percentage less NOR
tality," Dr.. Noteworthy said in con-
clus:on Of his paper.
Practically every kidney Of a per-
son OF adult age shows some struc-
tural damage due 10 injuries re-
ceived earlier in life. according 10
a paper prepared by Henry Hart
man. nj. u. and G.. 3. Sanders. M. ID.
Of the pathology department Of the
University Of Texas. Galveston. and
read before the Texas Medical as
ISOLATION in convention here yester-
day.
This deduction was reached after
an examination Of the kidneys of
100 consecutive patients in the post
mortem room. and after a careful
SluON VI ttlC 4-t nlotOTN Cl pdLleIllS
varying N age from "A to 80 years.
The study revealed that early
kidney damage often results from
many Of the diseases Of childhood.
especially those in which there Is an
associated infection OF the throat
and tonsils. In patients. dying Of
acute infections like pneumonia.
acute septic infections or acute mill
tary tuberculosis. all of the kidneys
showed acute inflammatory or de-
~generative changes which varied iii
intensity according to the severity
and duration of the infection.
Most OF the cases with high blood
pressure. the paper said. show rath-
er marked damage to the renal YES
sells and subsequently to the kidney
tissues.
In fact. the paper concludes. the
kidneys are involved In practically
every systemic infection. regardless
Of its nature. and also in cases Of
hardening Of the arteries. More at
tention should be shown the kidney
in treating these cases. and an at
tempt made to avoid permanent in
Jury to that organ.
