Successful Search for Tube Of Radiun

Successful Search for Tube Of Radium
A tube of radium worth over 5000
was presented to the Liverpool Royal
lnfirmary. II was used in the treat
ment of patient and fixed to his face
in the ordinary manner by dressings
and left in position all night. When
member of the staff arrived in the
morning, he found that the tube was
missing. The theory that the patient
might have swallowed it, was aban-
dOned after a careful search with the
Roentgen rays. 1t was then suggest
ed that the tnbe might have fallen
cut and been removed with the sweep
ings from the floor of the ward. The
cart which contained these sweepings
was about to leave the infirmary, and
orders were given for it to remain
The services of Wilberforce, the phys
icist of Liverpool university, were re-
Questioned. When he arrived, he
placed his electroscope on the edge of
The cart, and as a result was able
10 state that the radium was there.
AS it was then growing dark, the
search was discontinued until the fol
lowing morning, the cart in the mean
time being strictly guarded The
search was resumed next day by Will
Derforce and the infirmary officials.
DR.. Holland, roentgenologist of the in.
firmary got into the cart and emptied
it OF the rubbish, which was placed in
buckets. When the twelfth bucket
had been handed to Wilberforce, he
in it the missing tube, and
1t was deposited in safe keeping in
the Roentgen-ray department.
