CANCER STIRS : m I t Opinions Divided Among Experts on Heralded Absolute Spe cific for Cancer. % f JIM f if § c§b Miss Donna Bain and her dancing- part ner, Donald Crane, giving demonstration of “The Skating Glide,” which has captivated Society. 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.
