Wm. B. Coley, M. D., of New York, has an exhaustive article in the Annals of Surgery of August on Final Results in the X-Ray Treatment of Cancer, Including Sarcoma.

He states: "That at the General Memorial Hospital, in February, 1902, through the liberality of Mrs. Collis P. Huntington and Mr. Archer M. Huntington, two X-ray machines were installed, and the work has been maintained up to the present time under the charge of Mr. W. P. Agnew and Dr. James Ogilvie, who have treated the cases under my direction during this period. During this time there have been treated, including a few cases treated by myself personally outside of the hospital, 176 patients, as follows: Sixty-eight cases of sarcoma, 36 of carcinoma of the breast, 44 of epithelioma of the head, face and neck, including tongue; 14 of deep seated abdominal growths, probably carcinoma; 5 not classified; 3 of tubercular glands of the neck; 3 of Hodgkin's disease; 3 of lupus, making a total of 167 cases of malignant tumors, sarcoma or carcinoma, in a total of 176 cases.

"In five of the sixty-eight cases of sarcoma complete disappearance was observed, but in every one of these cases there was a recurrence a few months later. In two of these cases the recurrent growths disappeared again under the combined X-ray and toxin treatment. These two cases are still well at present. Of the other cases one died of internal metastases, one a sarcoma of the pectoral region and axilla was a local recurrence. The fifth case, a sarcoma of the chest wall, involving the ribs and pleura, disappeared under the combined treatment with the X-ray and toxins, the X-ray having never been used alone. In this case there has recently been a recurrence which thus far has not yielded to further treatment with the X-ray or toxins.

Carcinoma of the Breast.-The thirty-six cases of cancer of the breast treated by the X-ray furnish almost every variety of diseases, from the cancer "en cuirasse," with extensive lymphatic involvment and oedema of the arm, to the small, superficial, recurrent cancerous nodules along the site of the old cicatrices. In addition, the X-rav was used in four cases as a prophylactic immediately after the operation for the primary
