These photographs show the diminution producedin the size of the spleen during the first part of the radiation. The spleenhas remained small ever since. Here, again, the size of the effect produced by a small amount ofradiated energy is noteworthy. It would take rather delicate chemicaltests to discover the chemical change produced by this radiation in solarge a quantity of matter. An exceedingly interesting study of a large number of cases ofleukemia treated with radium will be published by Dr. Peabody in aspecial article on the subject.
