Riassunto

November 1895 by Professor W. C. Roentgen at the University of Wurzberg in Germany, and the medical applications of x-rays were immediately recognized in all advanced countries. In the United Slates, the first medical x-ray was taken February 3, 1896 by Professor Edwin B. Frost of Dartmouth University. He took an x-ray of a broken bone for a patient of his brother. Dr. G. D. Frost. The wonders of x-rays were often discussed in the popular press. A book about x-rays, written for the public, was published in the summer of 1896, only about six months after that first x-ray was taken. This is a replica of that book. It is appropriate that it appear as we approach the centennial of the discovery of x-rays. The copy from which this reprint was made was first owned by Professor C.W. Freeze. In the 1920s, he gave the book to one of his students, Albert E. Kidd. who later taught physics at Sam Houston University in Huntsville, Texas. Professor Kidd gave the book to one of his students, Leroy J. Humphries, in 1966. Dr. Humphries plans to donate the book to an appropriate library such as the American Institute of Physics Neils Bohr Library at the Center for the History of Physics.
