Slide set: The story of radium (lecture: Newton & Co., 47 slides, in/before 1930)

Known references to this set
Supplementary list of lantern slides (London: Newton & Co., c.1930), 58

“By N. Keith Bushell, Author of 'The Radium Seekers,' Member of the British Radium Expedition, and well-known Authority on Radium.

Messrs. Newton are glad to announce that by kind permission of Mr N. Keith Bushell, they are able to publish this particularly interesting set of Slides with Lecture Notes.

Extract from Lantern Lecture :—

'Very little is yet known concerning this mysterious mineral by doctors and scientists, whilst to the layman Radium is little more than a name. This precious substance, however, promises to revolutionise, not only surgery in its application to malignant disease, but science in its relationship to commerce and thus touches the interest of every man and woman.'

Additions to this set will be made as interesting discoveries and experiments are made.”
