Synopsis
This book provides a concise and clear account of the experiments, discoveries, and improvements that led to the present understanding of X-rays and their application to pathology. While it is intended specially for students and amateurs, and gives no account of the more complicated and expensive apparatus, nor of the latest developments in hospital methods, the author hopes it will be of some degree of usefulness to the practical man. There are still many persons who have not learnt the lesson which James Mill endeavoured to impress upon his son, that there is no antagonism between theory and practice, but that success in the latter must depend on accuracy in the former. The truly practical man is an admirable, but rare, phenomenon. The mere production of fairly good radiographs does not entitle a man to call himself practical; unless he understands some of the principles which underlie the work, he is more hopelessly unpractical than he who is frankly and confessedly ignorant.
