The "Wonder Ray"

A Light That Shines Through

?

fr - ' " **~~"Wi

The making of x-ray films has come a long way since the drawing made around the turn ofthe century which depicts a physician hand-cranking a generator to obtain the necessary powerto make an image of the patient's hand. At right is one of the newest examples of sophisticatedx-ray equipment from General Electric a complete diagnostic x-ray system, run by remotecontrol, which allows the patient to stay in one position while an x-ray examination takesplace.

"ls it light i""I'm not sure.""Is it electricityf""Not in any known form.""What is it?""Idon't know."

Wilhclm Konrad Roentgenwas not trying to make lifedifficult for the reporter whocame to his lab in 1895 tointerview him about themysterious "x-ray" the Ger-man physicist had Irecentlydiscovered. Roentgen reallydid not know just how andwhy this "wonder ray" couldproduce a visible image afterpenetrating flesh, cloth, woodor metal.

Appropriately, he includedin his name for the phenome-non the mathematical term"X" - the unknown quantity.

Roc 111 gen's rays were

initially viewed with greatskepticism by both the publicand scientific communities,but he lived to sec the appli-cation of x-ray in diagnosticmedicine and disease therapy.

A new kind of physicianbecame necessary to studyand interpret x-ray films - theradiologist. A radiologistreceives 13 years of trainingbeyond high school before hehas the necessary qualifica-tions to translate the filmimages into a diagnosis thatgreatly aids the l personalphysician in treatment of ill-ness or injury. He is aided bya technologist, a personskilled in the taking of x-rayfilms.

Each year shortly afterThanksgiving, the Radiologi-

cal Society of North Americaconvenes in Chicago for itsannual meeting. There,radiologists exchange ideasand view the latest develop-ments in the evolving scienceof x-ray application.

Among equipment on viewthis year will be the GeneralElectric Company's newsystem for aiding in thedetection of breast cancer.The unit is capable of obtain-ing accurately and completelythe various necessary views ofa patient's breasts in a shortertime than previouslyrequired.

By harnessing Roentgen's"wonder ray," radiologistsover the years have con-

tributed immeasurably tolessening the sufferings ofmankind.

PENBKEOn Performance QIf you have attended an

automobile race in the rain,you were probably amazedthat lap times did not fall offmuch from times recorded un-der better conditions. That'sbecause racing cars are shodwith special wet-weather tiresat the first hint of rain.

The modern dry-weatherracing tire is virtually as wideas it is high, with a smooth,nearly treadless pattern thatputs every inch of rubberavailable on the road. Wet-weather racing tires, however,differ markedly from theirdry-weather counterparts.

A wet-weather racing tirehas a soft "gum ball" compo-sition and deep treads thatrun around the circumferenceof the tire. These treads allowwater to channel out from un-der the tire and prevent "aq-uaplanning." This phenome-non occurs when there is littletread on a tire. It results in aloss of traction, because thereis no way for the tire to pene-trate the water and get a gripon the road.

Today's TipIf your tires dhow little

tread, your car may aqua-plane in the rain. So makesure your tires are not wornsmooth and by all means donot run a slick-type racingtire on a passenger car.

4000 years ago the Egyptiansfound that candy made lifesweeter. They had a well-established confectionery artusing honey, flavors, spices andherbs ...

the first corner candystore in history.

Greek and Roman physiciansused the first sweet taste treat-ment in history. They inducedtheir patients to down a bitterdraught by smearing the rim ofthe cup with honey. Todaymillions of persons don't blinkan eye?but they savor thetaste ?as they nurse minorthroat irritations with a varietyof Luden's cough drops. Fla-vored wild cherry, honey-licorice, menthol, honey-lemon and menthol-eucalyptus,they're all made by Luden's,Inc. of Reading Pa.

Stay withthe best.
