General Action.--The general action of the X-rayis finally destructive, a condition largely arrived at through interference with the reproductive power of the cell.. It brings about changes in both normal and abnormal tissues, the latter yielding first. It is destructive to some forms of germ-life and inhibitive in its influence on other bacteria. This result usually occurs as in the tubercle bacillus, by first greatly increasing the activity of the germs and ultimately producing attenuation from over-growth and inability to multiply. This condition is accomplished in the living tissues, but has not been demonstrated in plate cultures, leaving the obvious conclusion that the ray stimulates the natural anti-toxic elements of the body (anti-bodies). In this connection a similarity is noted between the ray and vaccines and opsonins. The X-ray contracts blood-vessels, especially the arterioles, even to the point of actually producing necrosis by shutting off the nutrition or blood-supply c the tissues. This is largely brought about by the increase in the cellular coat of the arterioles and corresponding diminuition in their caliber. As the larger part of the rays are absorbed by the skin, it naturally follows that the principal evidences of the action of the ray are seen in the skin and these changes as shown by itching, redness, pigmentation, desquamation, blistering and ulcers are noted under the subject of dermatitis.
