Experts Differ on Question and on Value of Radium. OVERDOSE KILLED BREMNER? Cornell Professor of Pathology Thinks So, but Believes In Efficacy of the Mineral Statistician Declares Thoee Reported Cured by It Never Really Had Dread Disease. Speakers who appcaml before tho American Society For the Control of Cnuccr In New York differed widely as to tho prevalence of tint disease mid also as (o tho efficacy of nullum treat ment for It. Tho meeting was called to start n movement to acqunlnt tliu public with tho dangers of cancer nnd especially with the danger of allowing small cancerous growths to become malignant and deep seated before ap plying for operations. Frederick U Hoffman, statistician, who li:is mndo a specialty of collect lug Information about cancer, asserted that 73,000 adult porsoiw died from tlio disease last year In tlio United States alone, wbllo WKl.OOO persons died from It In civilized countries. Ho said that cancer was essentially a dis ease of civilization and was pitictlcally unknown among primitive people and savage tribes. Dr. James Uwlng, professor of pa thology of tbu Cornell university medi cal school, disputed Mr. lIofTnmn'M as sertion. He said that cancer was not only prevalent throughout tho wliolo human race, but that, far from being a disease of civilization, It was prev alent In practically nil lower animals and was even found among trout and codfish, vhleli died from It In great u umbers. Diiputet Cures With Radium. In discussing radium cures for can cer .Mr. Hoffman said that a careful study of hundreds of reported cures bad convinced him thnt the patients affected were really not suffering from cancer, lie denied that any cure had been effected by any means other Hum tho surgeon's knife. With tills Dr. Kwlng disagreed also. He said that cancerous growths had been cured by radium when they were local and when they hnd been treated before tho poisonous toxins from tho growth bud spread through the wliolo Irndy. The limit or radium treatment, he said, was confined to n depth of an Inch nnd n half or two Inches, ns that was the extent of the penetrating ikiw er of radium rays beneath tho skin. He said that new wnys were constant ly being discovered to npply radium so that Its curative power would be ex tended to even the most malignant forms of tho disease. In response to questions asked him nfter bo hail concluded bis nildross Dr. Uwlng expressed tho opinion that a very largo overdose of radium bad been administered to Representative 8. Hremner of New Jersey and that Mr. Ilremner's death was no doubt hasten ed by this too extensive application. He pointed out thnt the correct dosage for radium had not lieen determined definitely and that much experiment ing must be done In tills direction. "file deaths from this disease," said Mr. Horrmau, "have practically don bled In the last forty years. The dentil rate Increases at the rale of 5 per cent every decade. Statistics which I have gathered concerning the disease prove that no doctor operating for cancer wan ever Infected by It nisi that no lierson ever Inherited It or passed it a an Infection to any other person. "Cancerous cells are treacherous for the reason that they have no ncrvii stimulation connectisl with them. Von do not feel nnj pain ns a cancerous growth starts nnd so gain no warning. The rich nre mulcted more than tho poor. All persons are liable to be nt tacked nfter they reach maturity. Most often the disease appears after tho vic tim has reached an ago of forty years or more. "In England they eat five or six meals n day nnd so constantly Irritate the stomach. It may be thnt this lias something to do with starting cancer ous growths, as English people surfer heavily. Urges Study of Localities. "In Madison county. N. V, cancer has attained the highest level In the United States ns a cause of deaths. We do not know why this Is so, but '. wish some special study could lie un dertaken to find out. There uro other ina II localities where the number of cancer patients Is especially large. Study of these localities might give ns much more light than seeking In lab oratories In find the germ that causes It or wbutever the source of tho dis ease may be. As a matter of fsct, nil we know nliout It Is that some cells break loose In lawless fashion nnd havo n pccullur siwer to attract to themselves all the nourishment taken Into tbu Issly, "We need to do away with this word cancer,' ' he said, "and bring Into m In Its stead a iiumU-r of expressions that will rightfully describe tho va rious Muds ut growths that occur among rebellious cells. As a matter of fact, the growths are very different In character, and we know so little nlxnit ttiotii thnt I do ii.it IxMltate to say that our cancer problem Is the first problem In Importance) before tho medical pro- Automobile and Machine Work Bring yoiiro;rk to the Canine and Machine ijliop.
