Examining the Stomach By Elotrio Light.
'ILLUMINATING THE STOMACH BY ELEc
TRIO LIGHT"

Medical electricians have recently
devised plan by which the interior
Of the stomach may be illuminated for
examination. The patient is laid
upon the operating table and a slender
tube. carrying glass bead upon its
end, is introduced into the stomach A
small light inside the bead is supplied
by fine wires running out through the
tube and connected to u small battery.
The interior Of the stomach is plainly
lighted, and all its partS are brought
into view by a small movable mirror at
the end of the tube. = Quoted from
