This is a series of 5 dental X-rays taken November 25, 1927 at the Norwood Osteopathic Clinic in Mineral Wells, Texas which has a notable history in itself.  It had several firsts for the town including the first X-ray machine installed.   (Scroll down three pages to the ad on the following website) – /> 
The X-rays are of a female patient from nearby Cisco, Texas and are in good condition for their age of 90 years.  The photos show them backlighted for better viewing.  

They\'re attached to a 4\" x 9-1/2\" cardboard mount which contains five exposed and five unexposed films in good condition.   Perhaps even a layman can identify the infections and other problems for which the osteopathic doctor states for her to \"Go at once to your dentist and have them attended to\"!

The letter itself is in good condition other than some yellowing from age and being split at each of the folds.  It shows the Clinic with three stories rather than the two original stories, the addition being added in 1907 I believe.  It\'s signed by Dr. R. R. Norwood, the founder, and who has an interesting history of the period.  The envelope is very dry, brittle, and fragile and is in poor condition.  It\'s postmarked 1927 and has a 2 cent stamp attached.

The letter also shows his title as M.E.D.O.  The D.O. is Doctor of Osteopathy, of course, but I\'ve been unable to find the meaning of the full title.  It\'s a stretch, but perhaps it represents some form of certification for medical electronics, or medical electrical equipment for which his clinic was known.

The last photo shows a Ritter Model A dental X-ray unit which is representative of those used in the 1920\'s and may or may not be the type actually used for these radiographs.  Technology was comparatively crude then but beginning to evolve.   This photo is NOT included for sale and is from [link removed by ]
