His radium pills are a development
Of radium seeds, which have been
used for several years to cure many
cases Of lung cancer. The seeds, tiny
capsules, usually gold, could not be
removed.

Their presence sometimes caused
aftermath complications. DR.. Press
man looks down into the lungs with
a bronchoscope. periscope tube.
which is inserted sword-swallower
style.
He measures the sizes OF the
bronchii. the tubes where most of the
lung cancers occur. He also measures
the cancers. Then he makes pills to
at, and all Of them are large enough
to be withdrawn after treatment.
The pills are made of metal and
are filled with radon, gas emanating
from radium. The seeds were filled
with the same gas.
