Publishers Acquire Stations-Already Press
Owns or Controls 100 Broadcasting Units.

South American country as the
means of diagnosing ailments of pa
tients in the hinterland. 1t works
this way: Since some of these back
woods inhabitants have combination
radio sets and monographs, the doc
tor supplies them with blank records,
together with special stethoScope
and book of instructions. The suf-
ferer places this instrument on va
rious parts of his body as indicated
in the book and a phonograph record
of the sounds Is made with the home
recording unit. The record then r
mailed to the doctor, who transcribes
it on his phonograph, diagnoses the
ailment and prescribes to his patient
by remote control.
The medical profession learned
about this "radiagnosis" from radio
technical publication, which had the
task of curing ailments of receiving
sets. To subscribers who would write
in about curious noises and soueals
which they could not adequately de-
scribe, it would send blank phono-
graph record to use with the home
recorder unit on the set. BY picking
up on the record the howlS emitted
by the sick" receiver. the publication
was able to diagnose the trouble in
most instances.
