The cases in which recovery took place are reported in detail ; one patient is still under treatment, though the manifestations of the disease have disappeared, and search for the bacilli is negative. Wilkinson is inclined to think that the X-ray cures by killing the bacilli, the bodies of which are absorbed and thereby produce an immunity against the living organism, the process being analogous to that in plague, in which immunity is produced...

But under no circumstances must irritation 'be produced. The persistent radiation gradually changes the character of the sarcoma cells and the tumor undergoes either a fatty...

A large incision was made, revealing a necrosis of the eighth and ninth ribs, and behind these some gelatinous masses were found. These were partially removed and examined by Dr. Welch who pronounced them round-celled sarcoma. The patient...
Page 25 - The douche acts not only by the temperature of the water, but also 'by the shock and pressure, consequent upon the force with which the liquid falls.
Page 88 - The patient having been thoroughly anesthetized, is laid with his back upon a broad clay pad, which should be large enough to -cover the whole back and even extend down under the buttocks and under surface of the thighs. The clay electrode, soaked In warm water to increase conductivity, is in immediate and intimate contact with the skin, the lower surface being also in contact with the negative plate of sheet lead. The positive pole Is connected by a leash with three or four amalgamated zinc points,...
