[TAE Marginalia] >I know nothing regarding the article and am unable to say if Radium will do any good for so deep seated cancer E<
Mr. Thos A. Edison
My dear sir:-
I hope you will pardon me for writing you these few lines. I sent the enclosed clipping out of the "Phila North American" yesterdays issue. My mother is suffering from a cancer of the liver, do you think that Radium could be used in her case?
She has ad an operation but the doctor could do nothing.
The were afraid to cut for fear of killing her instantly.
Kindly let me know what you think of the Radium treatment, and also let me know where it can be obtained.
Awaiting your reply
I am yours truly
Thos W. Brooks Jr.
