چکیده
Two important facts have drawn the attention of medical men to radio-activity. The first fact was the observation that radium rays affect the tissues of the human bod}\ For ljke Ronto-enrays they are able to cause serious injuries to&the skin. The first man who tried to utilise radium rays for medical purposes was Dr. Danlas of the St. Louis Hospital in Paris, who used them successfully to cure skin diseases. The treatment of cancer, lupus, and such like diseases with radium rays has also been very satisfactory, f The second fact was the discovery of radium emanation in the thermal springs. To-day we know with sufficient certainty that radium emanation plays an important part in the sanitarv effects of thermal waters.

In a previous paper* Fr. Sierp and myself have dealt with some of the numerous hot springs in the Bombay Presidency. The favourable reception which that paper has received relieves me of the necessity of dwelling once more on the importance of the subject. The methods used in the present paper in measuring the radio-activity of the water and the gases are the same as in the former investigation...

lies in their springs, which are usually hot and hold in solution large quantities of mineral organic and gaseous matters, to which for centuries their healing power has been ascribed. The modern view, however, tends to attribute the beneficial effects of these places to change of environment, rest, disciplined exercise, diet and habits of life, rather than to any special therapeutic power of t...
متن کاملComparison of physical, chemical and hydrogeological characteristics of karst springs in the western and eastern regions of Ilam province, Iran
Karst springs in the western and eastern regions of Ilam province have different physical and chemical properties. The springs of the western regions, are sulfuric and thermal with high salinity; while, springs in the eastern regions, are fresh and cold. Geological, hydrogeological, hydrogeochemical and isotope studies were performed to compare and determine the factors affecting the physical ...
متن کاملMultivariate statistical analyzing of chemical parameters of thermal and non-thermal springs of Mahalat area in Iran
In this study multivariate statistical analysis are used to characterize relationships between hydrochemical properties ofthermal and non-thermal springs. Four factors for thermal waters and two for non-thermal springs were extracted basedon factor analysis. In thermal springs, the first factor showed high loading on Ca, Mg, Na and K and this factor wasinterpreted as leaching of cations in the ...
