ogress.It is generally very painful, usually resisting all treatment in a mostremarkable way. The chronic form^ found most largely in the persons of operators(Fig. 209), may be regarded as a long-continued form of the acute variety,and produced by the constant irritation of the action of the rays. Follow-ing the acute form, the nails become brittle and thinner, and show thepresence of linear striations, and later of furrows. Still later onychia develops, and the nail is frequently shed. Theknuckles become sensitive from a chapping of the skin, serum exudes,and an itching sensation develops, which is often followed by numbnessand ansesthesia. The skin becomes hard and leathery, warty excrescencesform, and from the base of these excrescences a clear serum issues. Fre-quently these growths become detatched and offer a raw, sensitive sur-face. While the operators hands are most frequently burnt, the phe-nomenon may manifest itself on any part of the body, especially the faceand the chest.
