NEW EYE FOR DOCTORS
SPECIAL X-RAY APPARATUS.
From St. Louis, in the United States, comes word of a new aid to medical skill. Mr Jean Kieffer, superintendent of mechanical laboratories at a tuberculosis hospital, has invented a type of X-ray apparatus, and it is claimed that with its aid the doctor and surgeon will be able to see any portion of the body, no matter how much it may be hidden by bones. Medical X-ray photographs as we know them to-day are little more than a mass of shadows, and often the organ to be examined is partly hidden by an intervening bone. Now it should be possible to produce accurate and clear-cut pictures of any organ.
