X-RAY Since its discovery in November, 1895, by Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen, great strides have been made in the use ofthe X-ray, and much of-the knowledge of the therapuetic value of the ray has come from experiments on animals. 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

FEBRUARY 27, 1939-This tendency for alopecia capitae, superioris, really has Jenne worried this year. I hope there's more in his head than tl1e comb will take out. FEBRUARY 27, 1939-That parasites are to be found every day-big or little is O. K., but I almost go bugs trying to find out l1ow they get to know their names. SATURDAY BIORNING-I don,t see why that Southern rebel, Allen, insists upon egging Dr. Dick about what type of hogs grow in the south. It's true that Virginia is noted for its sugar- cured hams-but it might be noted for curing hams.
