It is a detailed report of the use of radium in the non-surgical treatment of various conditions and diseases, especially malignant growths. The author provides an overview of radium therapy from its early applications, highlighting the increased use of larger quantities of radium to achieve more rapid and permanent results. Within the book, the author classifies the cases they worked on, detailing the treatment and results for each. The results from the use of radium therapy on cancerous growths of the skin, breast, ovaries, stomach, and other organs are recorded. Non-malignant conditions, such as lupus, eczema, and chronic inflammation are also reported, indicating radium as a beneficial treatment for these conditions. The author explores the use of both screened and unscreened applicators, as well as the insertion of radium tubes directly into cancerous tissue.
