Since the discovery of the x-ray by Roentgen in 1895 it has been more and more extensively used. Apparatus has become both plentiful and efficient and this therapeutic agent has been put to aU sorts of uses with a certain amount of over-enthusiasm. In this case it took some time to learn the contra-indications and limitations, because the ill effects were often delayed fifteen to twenty-five years and were not readily connected with the original exposure. Particularly was this true with the blood dyscrasias and sterility. The surface manifestations are more readily discernible, but even these may be quite insidious.
