RADIUM'S VITAL '
TEST FOR CANCER
World Walls Result of Greatest
Experiment of the Kind.
DISEASE FAR ADVANCED.
One Hundred Thousand Dollars’ Worth
of Precious Metal Used on Congress
man Bremner, Whose Brave Battle
With Malignant Growth Has Evoked
Sympathy of Colleages.
FACTS ABOUT RADIUM.
Radium is obtained by the re
duction of pitchblende and other
radium bearing ores. It requires
100 reductions to produce the
minutest particle.
One milligram may be extract
ed from a ton of ore. at a cost of
about $50. The retail price is
$125 a milligram. A grant at
this rate is worth $120,000.
There are ouly six or seven
grams in the world, and of these
Mine. Curie, its discoverer, owns
2.3.
A pennyweight of radium at
the market price is worth $194,
400. An ounce of It at this rate
would be worth $3,888,000.
Robert G. Bremner. member of con
gress from New Jersey, bas become
the center of interest of the medical
world. Physicians and surgeons are
waiting to see if the greatest trial
ever made to cure cancer by means of
radium, the most powerful and scarc
est known element. Is successful.
Representative Bremner, In whose
case President Wilson and many close
associates in Washington official life
are Interested, has suffered for sev
eral years from a malignant cancer In
the left shoulder. Operations have
failed to check the insidious disease,
and recently Mr. Bremner woa forced
to carry bis affected arm in a sling
The cancer had made Its way over the
shoulder until It almost met under the
arm.
How Radium Waa Administered.
in a last desperate attempt to save
his life and establish the exact statns
of radium In the treatment of such a
serious case the congressman submit
ted to treatment by Dr. Howard A.
Kelly of Baltimore. One hundred
thousand dollars' worth of radium
was placed in the growth in Mr. Brem
ner's shoulder by Dr. Kelly and was
left there long enough to send its radio
active properties in a cross fire through
the cancerous growth. The operation
was repeated the following day. Dr
Kelly put the radium in eleven tubes
coated with rubber, and these tubes,
each about two and a half inches long
and about one-third of an inch in di
ameter. were planted in as many in
cislous made in the cancer ou Mr
Bremner's shoulder, it will be five or
six weeks before tbe result Is known.
In order that caueer victims' hopes
may not be raised higher than actual
results warrant. Dr Kelly bas an
nounced that radium Is not a specific
cure for cancer and that it Is effective
only' when there Is m» wide dissemina
tion of tbe disease. .
VifdM Remains In Ab«y*n««.
While about a dozen reports of re
markable "cares" of cancer by the uae
•f the metal hare bees made by pbyal
claim and surgeon* of repute in tbe
last six yean or so, medleal men still
hesitate to assert without reserve that
an Infallible means of combating the
disease has been found except perhaps
in the superficial type of cancer.
Nevertheless some remarkable case#
have been reported.
The New fork American quotes Dr.
Abraham .lacobl. eighty-three years old
and a renowned specialist, as follows:
-About seven years ago epithelioma,
or cancer of the skin, appeared on the
left slrle of my uose. It pained me
greatly. 1 was on the point of having
It removed by a surgeon when l decld
ed to try radlnin. then In Its first blush
of heralded success.
"Three applications were made, one
of three minutes, one of four minutes
and one of seven. A short time after
the final treatment I was entirely
cured."
The Government Interested.
Should the treatment cure Mr. Brem
ner action may lie taken by congress
looking to the preservation of pitch
blende beds of Colorado, from which
the radium producing ore Is obtained.
At present the ore Is found In Colo
rado. Dr. Kelly, with other*, baa ob
tained much of the laud, and there
are experiments going on In which
the ,bureat) of mlnea Is lending Its eld.
The bureau will take charge of the
extraction of radium from tbe ore and
will begin work In a few months In
Denver In a new laboratory which la
being built with money furnished by
tbe National Radium institute.
All the expenses of running the plant
are to he paid by the Radium Insti
tute .Coder the agreement with the
bureau of mlnea. the Inatltnte la to
■end all the extracted todinro to the
Memorial hospital Id N*w fork and
Dr Kelly's hospital in Baltimore, to be
used In tbe treatment of cancer cases
