Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Radium and Radiotherapy: Radium, Thorium, and Other Radio-Active Elements in Medicine and Surgery The creation of this work has been prompted by the many solicitations of the author´s friends and the inquiries of many others as to where it might be possible to obtain authoritative information upon the subject of radium and its scientific and medicinal properties. The reason for these queries is that if the medical literature of the day is carefully examined, it will be found that articles upon radio-activity in the English language are exceptional. This is in marked contrast with the literature of other languages, particularly German and French, in which the most active interest prevails. While this contrast is very apparent it is not altogether without foundation, for in this country it has been difficult to procure the radio-active materials. It is possible that the relation of our public institutions to their attendant physicians may be a factor; for wherever these valuable salts have been acquired, the investigator has been obliged, in almost every instance, to bear the expense. Another fact that has to some extent discouraged American investigation is that most of the radium brought to this country has been in the hands of private speculators; and in some instances, which have recently been brought to the attention of the profession, an exorbitant price was paid for an extremely poor quality of radium.
