B—2 = DU GAPILS CONBAT CAVGER Dr. Pressman, Husband of Claudette Colbert, Re- ports Effectiveness. BY HOWARD W. BLAKESLEE, Associateo Press Sctence Editor. NEW YORK, October 1.—Radium gas pills, a new and effective treat- ment for cancer of the lungs, were announced here yesterday at the an- nual meeting of the American Academy of Ophthalmology and Otolaryngology. The new treatment was developed and reported to the eye, ear, mose and throat specialists by Joel J. Press- man, M. D, of Los Angeles, whose wife is Claudette Colbert, screen star. His radium pills are a development | of radium seeds, which have been | used for several years to cure many cases of lung cancer. The seeds, tiny | capsules, usually gold, could not be | removed. Takes Measurements. Their presence sometimes caused | aftermath complications. Dr. Press- man looks down into the lungs with | a bronchoscope, a periscope tube, which is inserted sword-swallower | style. | He measures the sizes of the| bronchii, the tubes where most of the lung cancers occur. He also measures the cancers. Then he makes pills to | it, and all of them are large enough | to be withdrawn after treatment. | The pills are made of metal and | are filled with radon, a gas emanating | from radium. The seeds were filled | with the same gas. 1 Dr. Pressman reported that the pills have the same curative properties as the seeds and that no aftermaths have followed their removal. Facial “Tie” Cured. A new operation which cures “facial tic,” or twitching of facial muscles, was reported by Joseph A. Sullivan, | M. D, of Toronto. | The first cure for facial paralysis was an operation devised about five years ago by the late Arthur Duel, M. D, of New York, and Sir Charles Ballance. They spliced nerves taken from other parts of the body to re- place the damaged facial nerves. But in some cases, although no longer paralyzed, the patient devel- | oped a twitching face. Dr. Sullivan discovered why. Finds Trouble in Scars. The borrowed nerve, usually taken from the leg, acts as a channel, along which the facial nerve regenerates. 1f the “splint” nerve is put in the face too soon aff the accident or dis- | ease which causes facial paralysis, | scars obstruct the new nerve and twitching results. By waiting the right length of time, which ranges from three weeks to #ix months, Dr. Sullivan said the |’ twitching can be avoided. He report= | ed 26 operations, all but one success- | tul in curing “tic.” | The best tonic for & human being, said John J. Shea, M. D, of Mem- phis, is blood transfusion. In many cases- of threatened blood poisoning, he said, small amounts of borrowed blood, given repeatedly ward off the | poison. DR. BOWIE HONORED Dr. William Bowie,” chief of the Division of Geodesy of the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey | here since 1909, was given the de- | gree of doctor of laws by the Uni- | versity of Edinburgh on September 17. it was announced today. | Dr. Bowie, who is president of the | International Union of Geodesy and | Geophysics, is now in Edinburgh at- tending the triennial meeting of that | organization. | Ielictts 1214-1220 ¢ STRESY | | | A clear young chinline—with Chinette 1.00 YOUR chin—firm and youthful with the help of a cute net cap and a strip of French elastic!
