Excerpt from Radium, Vol. 2: A Monthly Journal Devoted to the Chemistry, Physics and Therapeutics of Radium and Other Radio-Active Substances; January, 1914 When soluble radium salts are injected intravenously, the radium is carried through the body and deposits in the form of carbonate and sulfate. The radium is to a small extent excreted in the urine and feces, the greater portion, however, being deposited in the bone marrow. We therefore render the organism not only passively but actively radio active for a considerable period and, What is more important, the action is constant. In other words, the body becomes a vital emanatorium due to the deposit of radium salts. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
