Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Wonders of Radium: Explained in a Popular Manner This brief discourse is intended to place before you, in a popular manner, the wonders of Radium, which have revolutionised modern Science, and indeed, hold out the promise of giving to mankind new powers, undreamt of.a few years ago. It is necessary to omit all calculations, technical data, and various delicate experiments, from which the facts here given were obtained, and many of these facts, moreover, cannot be accepted as perfectly accurate, since it is desired to avoid a considerable amount of technicality which must otherwise be introduced, if the subject is to be treated from a purely scientific standpoint. My object is to explain to the mind which is not technical, the wonders of radio-active matter, and the results possible from the discovery. Consequently, the simplest language and the simplest methods must be employed. I have taken my facts in a large measure from the papers and works of Professors Rutherford, Strutt, Soddy, Makover, Sir William Ramsay, Sir J. J. Thomson, the Curies, Becquerel, and others. It was Becquerel who first investigated the radio-active nature of Uranium; and later the Curies, when examining Uranium ore for radio-active properties, found some minerals far more active than would have been expected, and naturally concluded that there must be something more in the material than the Uranium they were examining. The result was the discovery of a highly radio active substance called Polonium, which is in fact a substance produced from Radium during its disintegration. Later, the Curies found the element known as Radium, which Madame Curie was recently able to obtain in a metallic state, but which could not be kept in that state owing to its rapid combination with other elements. In fact, Radium is generally used in the form of a bro mide, sulphate, or other combination. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Radium Therapy in Cancer at the Memorial Hospital New York written by Henry Harrington Janeway and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-21 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Radium Therapy in Cancer at the Memorial Hospital, New York: First Report: 1915-1916 The somewhat detailed character of the present report has been determined by the urgent need of more accurate descriptions of the methods of applying radium to malignant tumors in different situations. The great majority of available reports indicate the total amount of radium employed, but details regarding concentration of radium to the unit of surface, the exact nature of filtration, the exact periods of repeated applications, and the successive steps of the therapeutic result, are incompletely presented or entirely omitted. Consequently it has been impossible for the reader to duplicate the method or to obtain the necessary information to guide him in his own work. Unfavorable results are experienced in all large radium clinics, but under exactly what circumstances such results may be expected, or how they may be avoided, has seldom been stated. Such information, it is believed, may be obtained from many of the case records of the present report. It has become more and more apparent that the successful use of radium in cancer, requires careful consideration of each particular type of the disease in each organ as separate problems, in which different methods must be devised and different results expected. Hence the various forms of cancer are separately considered, and the indications, methods, complications, and results are given briefly for each. In our experience the use of radium emanation has greatly increased the efficiency of radium therapy as compared to the use of the metal itself. For a satisfactory understanding of these advantages as well as the principles of application and filtration an acquaintance with the physics of radium is indispensable. It has therefore been deemed advisable to include in this report an introduction explaining in detail the physical considerations relative to the therapeutic application of radium. The author desires to express his indebtedness to Dr. Samuel Brown, to whose efficient services in making and changing the applicators and in following the patients much of the success of this work is due.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is it not generally believed that our town is a healthy place . . . a place highly com mended on this score both for the sick andfor the healthy? . . And then these Baths - the so-called 'artery' of the town, or the 'nerve centre' . . . Do you know what they are in reality, these great and splendid and glorious Baths that have cost so much money? . . A most serious danger to health! All that filth up in Melledal, where there's such an awful stench - it's all seeping into the pipes that lead to the pump-room! Henrik Ibsen, An Enemy of the People, 1882 Henrik Ibsen gave the 'truth about mineral water' more than 100 years ago in An Enemy of the People. His examples came not from the decadent bathing spas of Bohemia or Victorian Britain, but from the very edge of polite society, subarctic Norway! His masterpiece illustrates the central role that groundwaters and, in particular, mineral waters have played in the history of humanity: their economic importance for towns, their magnetism for pilgrims searching for cures, the political intrigues, the arguments over purported beneficent or maleficent health effects and, finally, their contami nation by anthropogenic activity, in Ibsen's case by wastes from a tannery. This book addresses the occurrence, properties and uses of mineral and thermal groundwaters. The use of these resources for heating, personal hygiene, curative and recreational purposes is deeply integrated in the history of civilization.
