A glance at the radiograph willshow how straight it really was. Whyan institution that receives thousands ofdollars every year, and with the abovemotto, can tolerate the above, is beyondmy comprehension. The seventh radio-graph is another elbow joint.

Her parents happily took herto a physician who believes in findingout at once what the condition is, and asa result, we radiographed the elbow andfound the internal condyle broken offand separated by an eighth of an inchfrom the shaft of the radius. The elbowwas immediately set and has united per-fectly, the child being able to use thearm as before the accident. The eighth radiograph is that of another sprainedwrist. This was a puzzle, as a look atthe radiograph will show that none ofthe signs of fracture could be made outby the usual means. There was no lossof motion. The hand could be pronatedand supemated and there was no crepa-tus, and but little swelling and very lit-tle pain. The radiograph shows thestyloid process broken off and displaced,and an extensive impaction of the shaftand head of the radius. The wrist isnow well, and has healed in the posi-tion shown and is as useful as it was be-fore. The case was a woman fifty yearsold and she caught her foot in a piec

The American X-Ray Journal was the first radiology journal in the United States. Its first issue was published in May 1897, its founder and first editor was an American physician Heber Robarts (1852–1922), who took an early keen interest in the new Roentgen rays. Robarts was also a co-founder of the Roentgen Society of the United States, the forerunner of the American Roentgen Ray Society (ARRS). In its earliest days the journal struggled to attract any important articles as the majority of the pioneering researchers in the fledgling field of x-rays would prefer to see their work published in the established medical journals. The initial subscription rate for the new journal was one dollar per annum (payable in advance) or two dollars for overseas subscribers. Alternatively, it was ten cents per issue, or twenty cents for readers outside the US. In 1902, Harry Preston Pratt, an American physician from Chicago with an interest in electrotherapy, purchased the American X-Ray Journal from Dr Robarts. In 1904, the American X-Ray Journal subsumed the Archives of Electrology and Radiology (which had previously been the American Electro-Therapeutic and X-Ray Era). Following this, the journal was re-named and re-focussed as the American Journal of Progressive Therapeutics, and this published its last edition in January 1906.
