There is no abortive systole. In-formation of this kind could not be obtained without the aid of X-rays. Aneurism.—In writing of the value of X-ray examinations insome of the less frequent diseases of the chest, Williams states thataneurisms of the thoracic aorta may be seen by the X-rays hefojethere are physical signs. This method of examination may give usgreater assurance of the absence of an aneurism of the aorta in sus-pected cases than any other evidence that we can have. He reports the examination of thirty-four cases, fifteen havingtypical aneurisms, six had more or less dilatation of some portion ofthe arch, one showed an outline suggestive of aneurism, but there wasno pulsation and on autopsy a mass of glands was found. The re-mainder gave normal outlines in the region where an aneurism hadbeen suspected.
