X-RAY KNOWLEDGE.
Some Recent Uses,
There has been an extraordin- ary development in X-ray know- ledge and apparatus during the last fifteen years, writes a radio- grapher, and the now department at the Manchester Royal In- firmary, which WAS Opened recently, will no doubt have the
modern equipment. Radiography is extremely inter- eating work. I have X-rayed animate and inanimate objects of extraordinary diversity, including a lion for an injured paw. hors for injury or disease of bong, à quake to observe the digestibili of his meal of a maure, flowers to show structure, cotton shuttles to prove a pitent for eliminating "shuttle kissing,” mummified lizar's from the tombs of Erypt, atul other interesting variants on the routine ci alle visting human suffering.
It is work that leads to some
19
curious adventures. I shall not readily forget the call to a prison to X-ray a prisoner who had been trying all sorts of devices to get into hospital. At last he went on bunger strike, just then intro- duced by the suffragettes. To prevent feeding he stated that be had swallowed a brass rod about- eight inches long. It was dis- believed for several reasons, but the M.O. wanted to be quite sure that the man lging. It appeared that he was s confirmed gaol-bird and was then beginning a long term of penal servitude for rebbing mail bags. The M.O. had known him for many yests, but had never cscght him in a lie. Stradge though the prisoner's story was, it appeared better to test his veracity than to take a chance. After the usual pre- liminaries at the gate, we had access to our man. The plate was taken. The result justified the M.O.. and in the stomach of found the brass rod. Thus all re this super-truthful convict we
sources of skill and science were brought to bear to make him serve his sentence - Manchester Cuantian.
