FiG. g. Case v. Posteuo-anteriok Plate of axAdults Chest Showing Elevation and Distok-Tiox OF THE Right Leaf of the Diaphragm. CONCLUSIONS 1 am well aware that the above procedurein the examination of the chest is carried onby many workers. My object in presentingit at this time is to emphasize the necessityfor a more frequent variation from thestandard positions. The mere reporting of a small amount offluid in the lower pleural cavity is of nopractical value in many chest conditions, forthe presence of the fluid is merely incidentalto the basic pathology, which is pulmonary. As regards juvenile tuberculosis, the widedivergence of opinion regarding the mode ofinfection and the distribution of lesions indi-cates the necessitv for immediate and widepromulgation of the views held by roent-genologists w^ho are familiar with the typeand location of visible lesions of tuberculosis.

The war changed that.They are coming to )0u and to me to help themsolve their chest problems. Just as in Dr. Stew-arts work, the bronchoscopist is absolutely de-pendent on the ,r-ray examination. Now, whenwe have made an examination, dont let us stopbecause we are in a hurry. Dont let us get 112 Simple and Rapid Hardening of Gas Tubes into a hurry which may cause us to lose animportant phase of an examination. B
