Pi eventing x- Ray Burns. A
method has been devised by a
French scientist, M. Pech, to
protect X-ray operators from
dangerous burns, sometimes
causing the loss of life. After
patient researches covering a
period of five years M. Pech
found that the violet and ultra
violet rays are neutralized by
the infra red rays of the other
end of the spectrum, which
rays can be used as a sort of
insulator. The method is to be
thoroughly tried out in the Hos
pitals of Paris.
