TELLS OF FALSE DIAGNOSES

Doetor Jackson Bays Foreign Substances Often Misled v * Physicians. Atlantic City, N. J.—Many phyalclans were misled by the presence of unsuspected foreign substances In lung cavities and rushed patient* to California and other distant places to recover from purely imaginary tuberculosis, declared Dr. Chevalier Q. Jackson of Pittsburgh In an address before the American Roentgen Ray ■*• ciety at the Hotel Traymore. He ad* vocated that persons believed to have bronchial affections should submit to the Roentgen ray at least once a year. In a resume of doctors’ errors, Doctor Jackson told of the discovery of an inverted staple In a man who had been under treatment for tuberculosis for 18 months, and of the finding of the top of an atomizer In a patient who hud spent much time In California. He Bald that the rays had discovered an umbrella tip In the body of a duughter of a physician after the girl had been an Invalid for six years, of the location of a six-penny nail which caused “unmistakable symptoms’’ of tubercftlosl* and of tluf finding of tacks which alee confused the diagnosticians. Dr. Charles A. Waters, United States army medical corps, declared that thousands of American soldiers had been saved In France by the use of the most modern methods of locating but lets and shell splinters. He declared that speed by ‘the American surgeons also saved many lives and declared that when the marines stopped to* Germans at Chateau-Thlerry, the American surgeons passed wounded at the rate of 250 every day.
