Heralded .vs the only positive—in
fact, the sole—cure for cancer, the
radium method of treatment for the
dread disease was the topic of spirit
ed discussion among the members of
the Southern Surgical Association in
session at the Georgian Terrace Wed
nesday.
The surgeons were divided in opin
ion over the announcement of Dr.
Howard A. Kelly, of Johns Hopkins,
Baltimore, that lie had by the means
of the radium treatment been able to
cure a man of cancer within a space
of 48 hours, and that, more remarka
ble still, ail signs of the cancerous
growth had disappeared within that
time.
Great Accomplishment.
“It is certainly one of the greatest
accomplishments of modern surgery
If Dr Kelly Is quoted correctly,” said
Im .i m T. Finney, also of Balti
more, in commenting upon the discov
ery announced by Dr. Kelly.
Dr. Finney is one of the distin
guished surgeons of the East and was
at one time spoken of as president «.f
Princeton University, "l can hardly
| believe it possible that a cure of this
malignant disease could be obtained
in Vuch a magically short space of
time. On the other hand, 1 know that
Dr. Kelly is not given to making an- j
nouncements that he can not back up
in every respect.
Great Boon if True.
“While I live In the same city, I
have made no specialty of the treat
ment of cancer, and for that reason
have not followed Dr. Kelly's work
closely. I will say, however, if the
treatment by # the radium rays will do
what Dr. Kelly says they will, it will
be the greatest boon to humanity in
the age and it will take away the hor
rors of this disease as nothing else
has been able to do In spite of the
years of search by the physicians and
surgeons of the world.”
Dr. Kelly made his announcemenl
only last Monday night. Speaking
before the College of Physicians ami
Surgeons in Philadelphia, he declared
that he and Dr. Robert Abbe, of New
York, by a series of experiments ex
tending over nine or ten years, had
demonstrated beyond any doubt that
the gamma rays of radium were posi
tive cure for cancer except in its most I
advanced form.
Radium Rays Powerful.
“The power of the rays over cancer
is appalling, almost unbelievable,” Dr
Kelly is quoted as saying. “We tried
the experiment on a charac ter by the
name of ‘Uncle John,* of Missouri.
While the rays were being applied he
said that he felt the cancerous
growths growing smaller. We laugh
ed at him. But the next morning we
were able to notice a decided change
ourselves, and within 48 hours he was
a well man, with the growths entirely
gone.”
Dr. Charles Mayo, one of the fore
most surgeons in the treatment of
cancer n the country, would not make
comment on the announcement of the.
Baltimore surgeon.
Dr. Mayo discussed at length before
the session Wednesday the technique
that is pursued at his famous sani
tarium in Rochester. Minn., in oper
ating upon cancerous growths.
Dr. H. O. Marcy, of Boston, in the
course of his address upon the ter
minal conditions of surgery in the
biliary passages, made a plea for a
finer technique and a closer study of
surgical methods.
