Description

Excerpt from The Use of the Roentgen Ray by the Medical Department of the United States Army in the War With Spain, (1898) Soon after the discovery by Professor Rontgen of the new form of radiation and the placing on the market of apparatus for its production, the surgeon-general of the Army supplied Rontgen-ray apparatus to several of the larger post hospitals. On the outbreak of the war with Spain and the establishment of general hospitals the most prominent and important of these hospitals and the three hospital ships Relief, Missouri, and Bay State were supplied with similar appliances. In all, seventeen apparatus were available during the war, of which five were static and twelve were coil machines. These apparatus proved to be not only invaluable aids in military surgery, but the use of the two types, coil and static, gave an opportunity for comparison of these two methods for producing the Rontgen ray as adapted to the needs and environments of military hospitals. The use of the Rontgen ray has marked a distinct advance in military surgery. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
