Abstract
IT is twenty-four years since Rontgen made the famous discovery which at once excited such immense and widespread interest. Everyone felt the fascination of the photograph which actually showed the bones of a living human hand. Surgeons seized on its obvious application to their craft; students of physical science realised that a new and most powerful means of investigation had been placed in their hands. And at the present day we see that the first expectations have been more than realised. We stand only at the beginning of what the Rontgen rays promise to accomplish for us.
