Fluoroscopy and stereo-roentgenograms showed bismuth outliningthe numerous cavities; some of the mixturehad infiltrated into the lobular structureswell out toward the periphery of the upperportion of the dense area.

The injection of an opaque substanceinto the lung of the living patient will openan enormous field of usefulness in the studyof cough, the expulsion of substances fromthe lung, and lung drainage. It will also aidin localizing bronchial strictures in the samemanner as in the esophagus. Furthermore,it will be of the greatest aid to the thoracicsurgeon by mapping out the abscess cavity inthe respective lobe of the lung.

A stereo-roentgenographic re-examinationon July 26th showed gradual disappearanceof the bismuth except where it had pene-trated the lobular structures. The patient is still under observation. SUMMARY I. Bismuth mixtures can be injected intothe bronchi and lungs of a living patientwithout danger. Fig. 15. Case v. Lung Abscess. Three Weeks AfterIxjECTiox. A. Remains of cavitj. B.

Pus is usually seencoming from a branch bronchus, althoughthe abscess may be well around the corner,and not in that portion of the lung fromwhich the pus is oozing. An injection of bis-muth mixture
