Chicago, record q method combining
the usual dye test with the barium
meal. They report the use OF this
method In 63' cases. In most Of these
cases the dye was taken by the mouth
and X-ray examination made four
hours afterwafd. When the dye was
injected into the veins the X-ray films
were made six hours afterward and
developed Immediately. 4
Use Of X.Ray.
II the films were satisfactory and
showed a good outline of the gall
bladder of normal thickness or dens-
ity, the patient was given q meal con-
sisting OF egg yolks and cream.
One hour after the fat meal X-ray.
films were made to show contraction
or emptying Of the gan bladder.
An opaque or barium meal was then
given and this meal was watched BY
means Of the horoscope (X-ray) and
special attention was paid to any fur.

Keeping Case History. .
written report OF these examine
tons was then made and kept with
the history Of the patients symptoms.
and II the patient later was operated
upon, this was compared with the
surgeons observations.
When the examinations were made
and the gan bladder found to be at
fault no attempt was made to learn
the exact nature Of the trouble, Il
was simply called q sick" or abnor-

By these methods It was found that
the correct diagnosis tcause of the

Of the cases.
By using the dye method alone the
correct. diagnosis might not have been
made In about rs per cent Of the
cases. =. ~ =
This combined method car thus be
considered more accurate than the dye
test alone. ~ :

The Skin-Important Organ 7
ssyXZE NAY well say that the
w skin is like the individuals
visiting card, serving as an index
Of his health and nutrition ! am
quoting the words of DR.. Nicola Pende,
professor of medicine. University Of
Genoa. Aa
For many years the skin was con-
..sidered Just azcovering or bag which
held together the tissues and organs
of the body. Today we know that It
is an "organ" Of the body equal In i'm
portance to any other organ. It not
only acts as q covering or protection
but Is connected with the workings OF
all parts Of the body. and capable Of
affecting these workings.
Help Other Organs.
Thus 1t manufactures pigments or

ductless gland acting with the liver.
kidneys ami the adrenal glands situ-
ated n on top of each kidney. and
helps the kidneys and liver to rid the
blood Of pofsons. It also acts against
poisons that penetrate the body
through the skin. It gathers the rays
of the sun and transfers the bene-
fetal and body building effects Of these
sun rays to the blood which in turn
carries them to all parts Of the body.
It regulates the loss OF heat from the
body by mean Of the Precipitation that
is seen and also that which Is unseen.
It has the ability to gather various
Impressions, such as heat, cold. pain,
touch and other sensations and sends
them to the brain by way Of the
nerves. u
The above gives rs an idea of the
Importance Of the skin to health, to
lfe and to safety. g "
"A Reason for Wrinkles.
When the skin has lost Its elasticity
and has an old or aged appearance
with wrinkling Of the forehead and
about the eyes, It Is believed to be
due to . lack OF suticient Juice from
certain glands such as the thyroid In
the neck and the pituitary In the base
Of the skull. 81
Physicians are able to recognize Ger.
tain ailments such as eczema, arth.
ritis, poor nutrition, BY means Of the
color and texture OF the skin.
Excessive PRECIPITATION Of the skin
is believed to be due to too much
Juice being made BY the thyroid gland
In the neck and By the pituitary In
base Of skull. whereas excessive dry.
9 y due to q lack OF these juices.
Therefore we must think Of the skin,
not as q mere covering. but Al an or
gan that dQes certain useful 1obs In
the body. and also tells NJ about the
condition Of Internal organs and
glands
