Mademoiselle Curie developed the plates, and between them they produced photographs of the greatest utility to us. Considering its obvious utility, whether in war or in civil practice, it has always been a source of wonder to me that there is no such thing as a car designed and built with a view to radiography.
If, as is the case, however, the extraordinary scientific movement provoked by Röntgen's sensational experiments has a very remote origin, it has, at least, been singularly quickened by the favourable conditions created by the interest aroused in its astonishing applications to radiography.
Already, at that time, the learned world was deeply interested in the labours of Professor Stangerson and his daughter. These labours the first that were attempted in radiography served to open the way for Monsieur and Madame Curie to the discovery of radium.
All the vivisections that have been performed since the world began have produced nothing so important as the innocent and honorable discovery of radiography; and one of the reasons why radiography was not discovered sooner was that the men whose business it was to discover new clinical methods were coarsening and stupefying themselves with the sensual villanies and cutthroat's casuistries of vivisection.
