The sugges-tion is, I think, one well worth careful consideration and investigation, forhere we possess an excellent vehicle by means of which we can obtain second-ary radiations from direct radiations upon particular parts. The obvious inference is that in all cases of malignant disease we shouldendeavour to keep the red blood corpuscles up to or above normal and.
