Money, Declares Famous Research Physician
"Radium treatment for cancer has been exploited for years by those who have been making money out of it,” declares "Sir Hill, famous research physielan and physiologist, who recently questioned the curative powers of radium,
"Radium destroys the normal} cells" he writes in a letter to the Daily Telegraph. "Furthermore, surgery is "Available everywhere, but the availability of radium is limited by its high cost and other factors.
"Statistics proye that radium generally is not more success- ful than the knife, while radium and X-rays have not proved efficacious in destroy- ing internal cancers which can be reached directly.
The bad after-effects of radium -ünrellevable neuralgia and de- bility-are not seen by the sur geon upplying 'it but by the general practitioner.
"Vast sums are spent on radium which would be more valuable i spent in spreading knowledge for prevention. early diagnosis and surgery,"
"
Sir Leonard added that there Wis no trustworthy evidence to prove that radium Is efficacious in weak spa- waters or in "radio-active pads.
