...quack stunt. Old Doc Embry uses the same method?"Dr. Embry" on the door of a squalid office for Negroes, "The Parker Health Institute" on a communicating office door for whites. His gyp game is to thrill and mystify the patient by the intimated cure-all powers of the Xray. His staff found the Tribune man very ill, but curable for $90, $20 down...
...judgment can be rendered concerning its efficacy, nor does it seem likely that in the near future will any great improvement in its use be discovered. Nevertheless it is clearly the most important advance in the treatment of cancer which has been made since the advent of radium and Xray, and one which gives hope of much greater usefulness in the future." Dr. Wood also conferred with Professor Claude Regaud, who at the Institute Curie in Paris is treating various types of cancer with highly filtered radium and X-rays. He gives small doses of radium over a long period...
Millikan Ray. Dr. Robert A. Millikan, director of the Norman Bridge Physical Laboratory (Pasadena) reported his five years' research upon a new ray, shorter, quicker, more penetrating than even the Xray. It will pierce two feet of lead. It reaches the earth continuously from surrounding space. Whence it comes, what it does to the earth, how and whither its vast power can be directed, Dr. Millikan could...
...years ago, Drs. E. A. Graham, G. H. Gopher and W. H. Cole, all of the Washington University Medical School, St. Louis, began research to make possible visualization of the gallbladder by use of the Xray. They found that certain salts injected into the body are eliminated through the bile, which is stored in the gallbladder. They knew that iodin and bromin salts are opaque to the Roentgen ray. They secured a combination of these salts and obtained X-ray pictures of the abdomen in which the gallbladder, previously invisible because of soft tissue, appeared almost as clearly...
...general−was advised by one of its members, M. Daniel Berthelot, that two friends of his, Messieurs J. Risler and P. Mondain, had a preventative and a cure for radiodermitis. Noting that the long-waved infra-red heat rays are antagonistic to shorter-waved constituents of the Xray, such as the potent ultra-violet*Risler and Mondain had contrived a "ray filter" of plastic material, penetrable only by the infra-red and yellow rays. The long-waved rays thus filtered out were then applied to living tissues that had been exposed to the destructive influence of a complete Xray...
