There can be no doubt that this method may now and thenafford a valuable means of showing in a graphic manner thefacts of local blood-supply, both in normal and in pathologicalspecimens. As an instance of the latter, a perfect picture couldbe obtained of circulation by anastomoses, say, in a case whereduring life the femoral artery had been tied for aneurism, or inthe stump of an amputated limb. Dr. Clendinnen adds that in one case he obtained from theliving body a good record of the popliteal artery. This observa- 19 236 THE RONTGEN RA YS IN MEDICAL WORK vation is valuable, and perhaps points to the time when a fullerknowledge of conditions in relation to results will bring the blood-vessels under command of the Eontgen ray worker.

Eemy and Contremoulins have made similar observa-tions by injecting the arteries with a solution of wax in alcoholcharged with various metallic powders. Dr. Nathan Eaw showed to the Manchester Pathological MEDICAL AND SURGICAL APPLICATIONS 237 Society, in December, 1896, Bontgen photographs of arteriesinjected with plaster of Paris and carmine. Another application of this principle of opaque injection wasbrought forward by Poncet, of Lyons.* He presented theAcademy of the town mentioned with a series by Destot andBerard, showing the arterial and venous circulation of the kidneyin various pathological conditions of that organ. Some of the interesting conclusions as to normal vascularsupply may be quoted. Thus, it was found that the circulationin the kidney is lobar and terminal, and permits the differentiationof an independent anterior and posterior kidney, except the arteryof the superior lobe, which often divid
