No. 3. Technique of X=Ray Therapy, BY H. PRESTON PRATT, M. D. Xothing succeeds like success, and suc-cess cannot be obtained in this work un-less the physician is well versed in thetechnique of its therapy, which impliesa thoro knowledge of anatomy, physiol-ogy, pathology and physics. The greaterportion of the technique centers in theworking of the tubes independently ofthe apparatus which energizes them. We are dependent entirely upon thenumber of lines of force projected fromthe tube to bring about ionization of thetissues. Ionization means changes in theelementary structures, an increase inmetabolism; or, in other words, a has-tened normal physiological change brotabout thru electrolyzing the tissues. We need to have the greatest possiblenumber of these lines of force within agiven space for our b
