Excerpt from Annals of Otology, Rhinology and Laryngology, 1911, Vol. 20Epithelioma of the skin is one Of these. It is true'that these cases are improved, and even cured under X-ray treat ment, but, as you know, that is a complicated procedure, and not always without danger. This is especially important in the cases seen by me which affected the nose and its vicinity, the upper lip and the cheek. A scar or a burn left after the application of tlie Roentgen rays is unsightly in man or woman. In the four cases treated with radium we have had very gratifying results.Case 1. (presented to the Section on Laryngology of the New York Academy of Medicine, December 23d S. S 42 years of age, noticed a blister on his nose eight years be fore consulting me, which bzoke and discharged a watery secretion, and then dried up. Later, other blisters appeared and disappeared on the left all nasi, the upper lip, and' the neighboring parts. The patient consulted one physician after another - that was in Russia - and finally fell into the hands of a barber, who cauterized him so energetically that a per foration was produced which necessitated a plastic operation of the lip, etc. This cured him for the time being, but four years later the Old trouble recommenced. The blisters ap peared and disappeared. And he was rarely free of them. Dur ing the last four years, however, the blisters did not break. He has been in this country for three years, and still suffers in spite of everything he has tried.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
