Show I RADIUM AS A CURE. There is quite a stir on at the present time over the curative powers pow-ers of radium and, yielding to this latest innovation, the Salt Lake County Medical society has obtained a few grams of the salt. These wonderful cures are to be accepted with reservations Radium is said to operate successfully on certain forms of skin disease dis-ease and to produce favorable reaction in the first stages of cancer. Hut it is fair to presume tests so far made are superficial. At intervals inter-vals of a year or two, discoveries of specific cures for tuberculosis are announced, and the names of reputable physicians are connected with these cures But time proves the fallacy of the new theories, and the only reliable . ure is found to be nature itself when given an opportunity to attack tin- disease to best advantage. The radium cure niay prove to be an exception, and. if so, suffering suf-fering humanity will rejoice that a new force has been added to the ery small list of cures. |
