Abstract
CHEMICAILY, nothing definite has been known on the action of X-rays. This lack of knowledge has led to their use where the benefits of X-irradiation are problematic. X-ray dosages, too, must be set empirically owing to inability to measure in any way their immediate effect on the cells. Even after waiting a week or ten days, only the gross effects can be determined.
