(1) First Edition, journal issue. Garrison-Morton 3519. Introduction of bismuth meal for x-ray examination of the digestive tract. Cannon's discovery enabled him to increase our knowledge of the physiology of digestion, and also introduced a widely used clinical method of diagnosis of gastric ulcer and malignancy of any part of the gastrointestinal tract.

(2) First Edition, journal issue. Cannon was the first to use x rays to study the digestive system; his work laid the foundations of gastrointestinal radiology. The present paper, written while Cannon was still a medical student, describes Cannon's first experiments with x-rays to examine the mechanism of swallowing, including his first public demonstration, by means of x-rays, of the phenomena of deglutition. This ground-breaking work was undertaken less than a year after Roentgen's discovery of the x-ray. DSB.
