A VALUABLE DISCOVERY
'Times' —'Sydney Sun' Special Cables. Last Night, 6.40 o'clock.) LONDON, October 3.
Sir Frederick Treves, Chairman of tho Radium Institute, states that the -quantity of radium at the Institute is four grammes, which is valued at £BO,OOO, and is the greatest quantity •in the world. He stated that it had been discovered that tho gas emanation from radium had exactly the -same property and is as efficient for curative purposes as pure radium. The gas emanation is therefore being stored in hollow plates or glass tubes and forwarded to doctors in any part of the country without the radium decreasing. Radium, he said, is impregnable to water, and is producing astonishing results among, sufferers of certain afflictions. ' The remarkable effect® of radio activity in cases of rodent ulcer, carcinome, sarcoma and keloid are being shown in photographs.
