They recall the old-time electric belt, long since fallen into disuse, or of the prac-tice of laying a coil of electric wire in a jar of drinking water and turning on the “juice,” with the anticipation of obtaining a charge of revivifying electricity in homeopathic doses upon drinking the water. In short, the majority of these devices have no value except what may be due to the influence of sug¬gestion. They have the advantage that they can do no harm, which cannot be said of all radium treatment; but it should be most emphatically stated that cancer is not one of the disorders that should be so treated. It is a disease in which delay in securing proper treatment may be fatal.
