STUDIES OF THE RADIOACTIVE SPRINGS (XXXIII) EFFECT OF RADIOACTIVE THERMAL BATH ON POTASSIUM, CALCIUM, SODIUM, CHLORIDE AND PROTEIN LEVELS IN SERUM

In order to study the effect of radioactive thermal bath on mineral substances in blood, the author bathed rabbits in Misasa Hot Spring (Yamada-Yu) once daily for 5 minutes dnring the successive 3 weeks, and determined potassium, calcium, sodium, chloride and protein levels in serum before and after the bath every week. The radon content of Yamada-Yu was 300-600×10(-10) curies per liter, its water temperature being 42-44°C. at that time. In the early stage of serial baths calcium decreased, and potassium, sodium, chloride and protein content increased. But in the later stage a reversed tendency was recognized. It was concluded that radioactive thermal baths of Misasa had no peculiar effect on mineral substances in rabbit's serum, compared with the effects of the other kinds of thermal bath

Of late so brightly glowing, Lovely rose,We here beheld thee growing, Lovely rose;Thous seem\u27st some angel\u27s care,Summer\u27s breath was warm a-round thee,Summer\u27s beam with beauty crowned thee,So sweetly fair.Thou seem\u27st some angel\u27s care, Summer\u27s breath was warm around thee, Summer\u27s beam with beauty crowned thee,So sweetly fair. The blast too rudely blowing, Lovely rose,Thy tender form o\u27erthrowing, Lovely rose,Alas! hath laid thee low.Now amid thy native bed,Envious weeds with branches spread, Unkindly grow. No freshening dew of morning, Lovely rose,Thy infant buds adorning, Lovely rose,To thee shall day restore.Zephyrs soft, that late caressed thee,Evening smiles, that parting blessed thee, Return no more. Che cosa voul ch\u27io peschi!Fidulin.L\u27Anel, c he m\u27e casca,Colla, bella, &c. Ti daro Cento Scudi,Fidulin.Sta borsa ricama,Colla bella, &c.

AN EXPERIMNTAL STUDY ON THE EFFECT OF MINERAL WATERS UPON THE MOVEMENT OF ISOLATED RABBIT INTESTINE

The author investigated experimentally effect of the Japanese mineral waters (19 thermals and 6 cold springs) and 20 kinds of salt solutions upon the isolated small intestine of rabbit by Magnus' method. Most waters showed a tendency to decrease the longitudinal tonus and the amplitude of the pendulum movement, but a few showed an increasing effect on the amplitude of the pendulum movement. Only few kinds of waters, for example acid vitriol springs and sulfated calcium springs, had an effect characteristic of their chemical classification. Therefore the effect of minesal waters must be judged with the synthetic consideration on the total action of their whole constituents. Concerning the natural radioactive waters in Japan studied this time no peculiar effect was recognized
