[TAE Marginalia] >It may cure cancer but it will if long continued make very bad non-healing burns, but these may not be as bad as the cancer E< Aug 31 1903 Thos A. Edison Orange, New Jersey Dear Sir:- In the interest of humanity, and also because of my own case in particular I wish to know if the articles (like the enclosed) being published all over the country are authentic. I am being treated by x-ray for supposed malignant cancer. I have little faith in it but with your knowledge of the x-ray do you consider it a dangerous experiment? Pardon me for troubling you with the inquiry but I shall feel thankful for your reply. Yours truly, Mrs. C.R. Corning
