Some names (par-ticularly foreign ones) are of such lengththat the marker would ha\e to be of con-siderable length; in such cases it can beshortened so as to give unmistakableletters establishing the particular patientexposed. 6. The name of the referring physician. 7. The serial number of the cases.(This is optional, but very convenient foroffice records, etc.) There are several ways in which thisidentification can be done. A con^enientway is to ha\e a lead stencil made forthose portions which are never changed,. Fig. 2.

Thedate can be set up with small lead figures,placed on adhesive plaster, this being donebut once a day. The other features, like-wise, may be set up on adhesive plaster,using lead letters and figures. If manypatients are examined, there is much delayin setting up all this information letter bjletter and figure by figure; on this accountone is loath to give the necessary time tothe procedure. A search was made for astencil machine which would provide thisopaque marker quickly and easily. Theone illustrated in Figure 2 has been foundto give full satisfaction, and the stencil IS quickly made. An alphabet and numeralspro\ide all letters and ligures. The stencilmaterial
