His cases kept him busy: a dying old woman who wanted to be kept alive long enough to say good-by to her son; a dope-fiend who had once been a nobleman; his beautiful sister who was almost ready to sell herself to Stephanson; the clever surgeon who had gambled away his reputation and his fortune.

His Pittsburgh physiotherapist, Dr. Charles Clinton Moyar, prescribed a patented drink called ''Radithor." It was distilled water containing traces of radium and mesothorium (another radioactive substance). The dope eased the arm pain, braced Byers up. He enthusiastically recommended it to friends, sent them cases of it, even gave some to one of his horses. Last week Eben Byers died in Manhattan of radium poisoning. His close friend Mrs. Mary F.
