Excerpt from The X-Ray: Or Photography of the Invisible and Its Value in Surgery
The world-wide interest that has been taken in Prof. Roentgen's discovery of the marvellous properties of the X Ray prompted the publishers of this work to call on Dr. William J. Morton of New York who had already been acknowledged the best X Ray expert in the United States, and urge him to write the result of his investigations with the X Ray for the benefit of the many who desired reliable information on this scientific discovery.
The publishers have endeavored to present the work to the public in a style which will be in keeping with the importance of the subject.
All of the line illustrations contained in the work are from the dictation of the writers, and the half-toned plates are reproduced mechanically direct from the negatives of X Ray radiographs, taken by Dr. Morton. Much of the sharpness and delicacy of the original negatives has been lost in the reproduction, as it is impossible to make exact copies of the negatives.
Mr. Edwin W. Hammer, Electrical Engineer, has rendered valuable assistance in the preparation of the work.
As many doctors, surgeons, dentists and others are contemplating the addition of the X Ray apparatus to their laboratories, Dr. Morton would be pleased to give any information gained by his experiments on the selection of the best material, and thus save them loss of time and money in experimenting with inferior apparatus. His address is Corner of Madison Avenue and 28th Street, New York City.
