International Congress for General and Medical Radiology.

Abstract

THE sixth meeting of the above congress was held this year at Prague, and was attended by a large number of scientific workers. This society has now a membership of 600, and embraces workers of many nationalities. The opening meeting took place in the Landes-Museum on October 3, and was attended by more than 2000 people. At this meeting addresses were given by Prof. Stoklasa, of Prague, who is president this year, and by Prof. Becquerel, of Paris. At the subsequent meetings of the congress, no fewer than 130 papers were read on physical, biological, and medical subjects. Among the excursions made by the members was one to the uranium mines of St. Joachimstal, from which most of the radium in use has been obtained.
