Page 142 - To obtain a sharp focus the anode must be a given distance from the cathode, just as an object must be a given distance from a lens to be in focus. In making a Crookes tube by all methods used heretofore, it has been practically impossible to get the anode the required distance from the cathode, so as to obtain a sharp focus, as the stem supporting the anode had to be sealed in the glass by guess, and the tube exhausted before it could be tested, when if the anode was found defective in respect to...
Page 144 - This plate of platinum is electrically welded to the metal forming the body of the anode, and will stand an unusual degree of heat, and unlimited usage, even with the sharpest focus. With my method of magnetically adjusting the anode, it is possible to make every tube alike, and to accurately focus the same after the tube is finished and in operation, just as you focus a microscope by looking through the lenses, instead of guessing at the adjustment by observation as to the distance of the lenses....
Page 56 - A violation of this rule on one single part of the periphery of the new growth may frustrate the entire purpose of the operation. (4) Should it be found after opening the larynx that the disease is more advanced than it appeared from laryngoscopic examination, it is the duty of the operator not to limit his interference to the operation originally contemplated, but to perform partial laryngectomy, or, indeed, any other operation the necessity of which may become apparent when the extent and depth...
Page 48 - That in seventeen cases they were presumably tubercle bacilli, in so far that they conformed to the recognised morphological and staining characters and were for the most part associated with reliable clinical evidence of tuberculosis. That in seven (pseudo-tubercle bacilli) cases, while conforming in a greater or less degree to the staining requirements, they were morphologically unlike tubercle bacilli, yet five of them had either a family or personal history of phthisis. That success in their...

Page 143 - ... skill required on the part of the glass-blower to seal in the stem supporting the anode, so as to hold it where he thinks it should be; his judgment of where it should be is purely guesswork, because there is no way of testing, until the tube is exhausted and properly excited. The new feature of my tube is in having the anode mounted on a threaded stem which can be magnetically operated through the glass, so as to move the anode up or down or circumferentially with the surface of the tube, to...
Page 46 - That under these above mentioned conditions the septum seems to conform itself to the altered development of the rest of the face, rather contrary to our previous ideas regarding the habits of this structure.
