 rHE N-ItAY As APPLIED IN DENTAL
 SURGERY.
 I3 the people who are is the habit of frequeuting the dental office, with the aching mclar, it will be of interc st to learn shat cbe experimental application Of the N-ray through the Cro0bes tubes on the jaw has revealed the cause of the trouble, and can now be used by the dental sur geon to obtain the proper diagnosis. Iesia already reports that he has seen thr0 three men, that he has seen the great bones Of the body, and seen the heart beat, also other dense organs as the liver. This enumeration, brief as it is, is great triumph for the N-raY, and the7e questions of diagnosis and locaIiz4 tion are equally applicable to dental and general surgery. It has been sh0wn that the Photographic print of the N-ray work in publications are very inferior to the photographic prints and what is more pointed still, the photographic prints are vastly inferior tn the negative. The real beauty of the N-ray work is only to be found in the negative itself.-rF. J. Erbo in Reporter.
