willcause a degeneration of carcinoma tissuewithin a radius of i cm. within eight hours,within 2 cm. within thirty-two hours andwithin 3 cm. within seventy-two hours, andso forth. Therefore a cervical or uterinegrowth is exposed to the action of the raysfor seventy-two hours, 3 cm. being theaverage extent of an area which could beeffectually influenced by radium rays. Ex-tensive infiltrations of the parametria arepunctured with a special trochar whichenables us to bring the element directly intothese masses. The tubes are left for avariable length of time corresponding to theextent of the area. The arrangement of the capsules is asfollows: The radium is contained in silver or brass capsules of a wall thickness of 0.5mm. These capsules are inserted into a filtermade of brass of a wall thickness of 0.7mm. The filter is then surrounded by arubber tube (fountain pen filler) of 3 mm.thickness. A thread is attached to the filtercap, which is secured with a safety-pin toan abdominal binder.
