Explore "X-Ray, Violet Ray, and other Rays" by Maynard Shipley on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
In my Little Blue Book on Radium (No. 1000), it is shown that the "emanation" and the "gamma rays" of radioactive substances are being used to great advantage in our hospitals, but that certain dangers to the patient's normal cells attended employment of these radiations.
It is gratifying to note that successful X-ray treatments are now being given in cases of cancer, rays being produced-under high-tension currents-that are almost identical with the gamma rays of radium.
