The rest of the picture was normal. PLATE THORAX. Girl, age 7 years. (Same subject as Plate 108.)(Dr. Percy Brown.) Exposure 6 seconds. Child breathing normally. This picture was taken to show how a long exposure andthe child respiring gives a decidedly blurred outline of theheart and an indefinite lung tissue in comparison with theresults of a short exposure as shown in Plate 108. Plate 107. PLATE THORAX. Girl, age 7 years. (Same subject as Plate 107.)(Dr. Percy Brown.) Exposure 1 second. Respiration arrested. Portrayal of the internal structures, especially the lungs,with increased accuracy, in comparison with the results shownin Plate 107. Plate 108
