NEW YORK, July 24.--New tubes to
unlock far-reaching healing powers OF
x-rays are sought by the Pathological
Research Institute, the latest American
| scientific society.
Incorporation of this institute in Del
aware was announced today by the act
ing president, DR.. Edwin Charles Ernst
of st. Louis Tubes to produce X-rays
of power now unavailable, DR.. Ernst
said, are one of the first detectives.
Deeper penetration is sought, and faster
action, so that the rays can be used to
stop" the image of moving internal
organ, which now appears as blur.
"X-rays," said q, statement by DR..
Ernst and DR.. 'RoIlin H. Stevens of De-
troit secretary of the institute, 'are
finding rapidly extending use. They re-
lieve infections. skin conditions, pneU-
monia and asthma; they are the most
effective treatment for a common PIN
pie affection and for boils and car
buncles. They help some kinds OF
cancer.
I'VE now produce x-rays of from
5000 to $50 900 volts. If we went to
300 900 or 100000 volts we could get
practically radium rays from an X-ray
tube, and we know results would be
better.
But we cannot go that high, for We
lack the tubes to stand ii One man
gets a desirable result, but another. try
ing the same treatment, fails Some
times because of irregular output from
tubes In seven years there has been no
real improvement in American X-ray
tubes, though meanwhile science has
gone beyond the capacities of most do
nestle tubes.
Accurate measuring of X-ray dosage
is becoming vital There is no morS
powerful poison than an overdose of
X-rays or radium. For safety the rays
should be standardized under Govern
ment regulation, but we cannot do this
with tubes of the present irregular per-
Torrance. We aim to use research to
help produce better American tubes.
Europeans are ahead of us in this
respect"
Cheaper radium is another objective.
Others are American control of its own
radium supply, establishment of CEN
trail Pathological research laboratory,
fostering pure Pathological research in
colleges, cooperation with the National
Institute of Health created by Congress
and an advisory board of so scientists
to extend X-ray research uses into all
