In an article in Die Umschau, of which an abstract appoars In the Scientific Sci-entific American, Dr. Blckel shows how tho advantages of tho mineral course due to radium can bo obtained at home. He finds that water Impregnated Impreg-nated with radium emanations may be taken with good results. Tho effocts last longer It taken after a full meal It may also be Inhaled In an "Bmana-torlum" "Bmana-torlum" that ib, a room of anatlons "of radium. But t oprevent loss of' the emanations such an apartment cannot bo properly ventilated. To obviate ob-viate this difficulty Dr Blckel has Invontod nn apparatus for Inhaling them directly from a solution in water. wa-ter. Into a largo bottle the solution of radium emanations is allowed to Tall drop by drop as required from a smaller one. From tho former tho emanations are Inhaled by tho patient. |
