THESE MYBTERIOUS RAYS

By

Pub Date: May 5th, 1943
Publisher: Harper

The author of a number of novels on Norton's list uses a narrative technique in displaying the virtuosity of radiation, for medical diagnosis, cure and technical detecting. From laboratory pictures and their stories, to x-rays and radium and their use in bone, lung, head, digestive, urinary, obstetric and cancer cases; how radiation acts and what is radioactivity; how to use it safely. All aspects are illustrated with case histories and the personalities of doctors and patients developed on lines of short stories. Definite popularization of scientific material.
