The first report of its use in the treat- ment of animal was by Eberlein at the Second Roentgen Congress in 1906. Here at the Department of Radiology of the School of Veterinary Medicine over one thousand treatments have been given in the past eighteen months Animals treated include horses, ponies, cows, goats, dogs, cats, and rats. Many of these have been cured for over a year of malignant and infectious neoplasms formerly considered incurable. THE CLASSE
