Served in Numerous Posts.

Dr.. Grower, Pioneer
x.Ray Specialist,
Near Death Here
Physician Is Victim
Of MoIody Induced by
Exposure to Reductions

A pioneer In the medical use OF
X-tays was near death here today,
victim Of the powerful radiations
with which he worked for 40 years.
DR.. Thomas A. Grower, 81, lay In his
apartment IN the Wardman Park
Hotel, and attending physicians held
little hope he would live more than
few days.
DR.. Grower is regarded as an au-
thority in the X-ray field and. is q
charter member and past president
OF the American Roentgenological
Society.
He began his study of the rays
properties in the old Emergency
Hospital 40 years ago, barely five
years after they were discovered by
Roentgen, and the cancerous malady
which now has attacked his vital
organs was induced by exposure to
the radiations. In the early years OF
his research, the misunderstanding
powers of X-rays had not yet been
realized, and DR.. Grower thought
the rash on his fingers, caused by
frequent exposure to emanations in
his laboratory, was eczema.
The physician was forced to lose
the fingers Of his left hand, one by
one. and finally. about 20 years ago,
the entire arm. He was determined
to continue his work, however, and
his right hand became affected.
Use of X-rays, frequently resorted
to in treating maladies which destroy
tissue, would be futile in DR.. Groov-
ers case, because his body's normal
reaction to the radiation has been
deadened by exposure to it over a
period of many years.

poetry read and interpreted by its
authors, unpublished string quarters
and other new music of a classical
type.
Much of the material, Mr.. Mac
Leish pointed out, stands ready for
use on the shelves of the Library
recordings of American folk songs,
documents basic to the history of
America and the world, musical
manuscripts. ancient and modern.
But only students who could come to
the Library or those who could af-
ford to have expensive copies made
have been able to use these valuable
sources, since there was no dupli-
eating equipment.
The sound laboratory will not con-
fine itself to American music. Music
from all over the world. history
literature, art printing and rare
books and science will be described
in the phono-duplication service.
1t is expected the apparatus will
require several months to install. It
is to be in operation by fall.
