Such cases of niul-iple diverticulitis as have come to our at-ention have been found in the course of rou-ine .t-ray intestinal examination. For those roentgenologists who do notnake a routine practice of radiographinghe abdomen previous to the administra-ion of the barium meal we wish to em-)hasize the importance of this preliminarytudy. Just as preliminary routine plates)f the right upper quadrant will usually■isualize a gall-stone, so plates of the leftower cjuadrant oftentimes will give evi-lence of importance in the c[uestion ofnultiple diverticulitis. From the pathology w^e learn that f ecal-ths may be found in the diverticula due tohe prolonged retention of fecal material.)n account of the deposition of calciumhe fecaliths are capable of casting distincthadows on the .I-ray plate. Unless pre-iminary plates are made such shadowsvill be obscured by the barium meal. Diverticul
