normal parts of the body, under the influence of irradiation, gra- dually lose their power of using Oxygen. In other words, the in- dividual cells become slowly as- phyxiated and the process of de- generation which ensues is very much the same, only at a quicker rate, as that which occurs during the natural death of living mat- ter. This work shows that from the chemical aspect cancer cells do not differ greatly in their reaction to radium from normal cells, hence the necessity for careful substance. The theory of selec tive action upon cancer cells is not supported by these researches.
