Abstract
THE new photography has received the official recognition which is usually given to scientific discovery in Germany. Prof. Röntgen has been honoured by the Emperor, and the Prussian Minister of War has caused experiments to be made in order to discover whether the method can be applied successfully to army surgery. A series of photographs of bone injuries have shown so clearly the nature of the wounds and the position of imbedded projectiles that it has been determined to carry on the experiments on a larger scale.
