The use of bismuth subnitrate was nota matter of choice; it was used because noother salt of bismuth was available. Bis-muth subcarbonate or oxychloride willgive the same satisfactory density to theshadows without the danger of poisoning. There is one condition in which it is. impossible to use anything but bismuthpaste, namely, the presence of a bronchialor pleuropulmonary fistula. Our experiencehas been limited to seven cases; out ofthis number we have been able accuratelyto demonstrate this condition in six. Thepositive evidence is convincing, the nega-tive is of little value. Solutions in contra-distinction to pastes are rather dangerousin these cases, as they produce spasm andsevere coughing, which last for a con-siderable period of time. As the use of bismuth paste was objec-tionable in large cavities, we were forcedto take recourse to other substances. Wemention particularly the following: I.
