Dr. I. M. Washburn has just installed in his office what is probably one of the finest X-ray machines in Indiana.

Experts from the company putting in the machine have been here for the past few days instructing Dr, Washburn in its use and he will also have the aid of an instructor frequently for sometime, although iic has already become quite proficient in handling the instrument during the short time it has been in operation.

The complete outfit is a wonderful piece of work and its cost is almost as much as a moderate sized farm. Yet by its use Dr. Washburn expects to save his patients a great deal of money by being able to determine the precise nature of their ailment without the necessity of making a trip to the city and undergoing an examination by expensive experts there.
