Died. Dr. Charles Albert Elsberg, 76, first surgeon of Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center's pioneer Neurological Institute; after long illness; in Stamford, Conn. Knowing that certain brain tumors affect the olfactory sense, Elsberg in 1935 developed the current standard technique of testing a patient's sense of smell as a means of determining the presence of a brain tumor undetectable by X rays...
...made the acquaintance of more than one thousand brain tumors and one of the commonest, most rapidly growing and most immediately fatal types-the spongioblastoma-comprises one-third of his cases. Surgical removal is sometimes effective but there is desperate need of early diagnosis. Last week Dr. Charles Albert Elsberg of Manhattan's Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Centre reported a diagnostic technique for brain tumor which he deemed more sensitive than any other currently employed. Dr. Elsberg's way is to test the patient's sense of smell...
...aware, like other experimenters, that cerebral tumors frequently nudge the olfactory centres of the brain, blunt the sense of smell. But sharpness of smell is so inconstant and the weak human nose can detect such minute quantities of a substance, that precise measurement seemed hopeless. Then Dr. Elsberg tried having the subject hold his breath while whiffs of air saturated with coffee or lemon oil from a stoppered flask were pumped up the nostrils, directly against the ends of the olfactory nerves. He found that in normal persons a fairly constant and easily measurable quantity of scent-laden...
...year in the treatment and alleviation of cancer. In Chicago Dr. Loyal Edward Davis of Northwestern University Medical School & Director Max Cutler of Michael Reese Hospital tumor clinic have been treating certain brain tumors by inserting radium needles into the diseased brain tissue itself. In Manhattan Dr. Charles Albert Elsberg of the Neurological Institute & associates are saving nine out of ten of their brain tumor cases by early diagnosis and bold excision...

Said he: "I want to see the time, and that soon, when men who have been elected by Republican votes and supported by Republican newspapers and who call themselves Republicans, but who at every opportunity assail a Republican administration, President and Cabinet, are thrown out of the Republican party and over into the Democratic party, where they belong.
