Ato all Pain?Robs Operation.
HL of Terrors.
ft presence of twenty-four
l^rrent surgeons of Hartford,
MRmn., Dr. William H. iFitzerald reHp
cently demonstrated a new anaesthesia
at St Francis' hospital. The
B unanimous opinion was expressed
that the discovery probably ^ aid
V revolutionize present methods of
surgery.
Dr Fitzgerald operated upon several
patients, and in no case did he
use drugs, gas or cocaine. He applied
a pressure tp the nerves through the
(nose or throat, acting, as he explained,
on the well known fact that
t&ere are certain especially sensitive
nerve t<nes pressure upon which instantly
will stop pain. In one case
he anaesthetized the hand of a woman
so that pins were thrust into
the flesh without giving the slightest
pain.
In another case a foot was anaesthetized,
and fiifteen incisions were
made. Two teeth were painlessly extracted.
In still another case, after
producing an anaesthetized condition,
the physician punctured an eardrum
| without any sensation t f pain. The
puncturing of an eaMrum is regarded
I as one of the mcst painful of opera
tions. *
L Eye Made Immune From Pain.
Another test was even more star"
tling. The physician removed a foreign
substance from a patient's eye
and then drew a scalpel lightly across
the eyeball, the patient never wincing.
This demonstration by Dr. Fitzgerald
was a sequel to one he gave at the
hospital in Hartford a short time be^
fore, in which he showed the preliminary
steps to the use of the method.
V In the preliminary clinic the patients
were shown to be able to trace the
K sensations of f.l>w or a feeling of
W lightness. By pressures in the throat
the physician produced sensations in
I various parts of the body, in the back
or in the extremities, for instance, and
demonstrated that acute pain in any
section of the body can be quickly re
lieved by mere pressure.
I There are several advantages to be
I gained from use of reflex anaesthesia. \
mk as was demonstrated. In the first
place, toe use of dangerous anaesthetics
like ether is avoided. In spite of
W the sffnei&I use of ether its adminisr
tration is still accompanied by grave
danger except in the hands of an expert.
In the case of minor operat \ ns,
such as the removal of splinters, the
1 use of the local anaesthesia avoids the
necessity for administering ether
\ where it requires twenty minutes or
1 more, though the actual operation
can be performed in thirty seconds.

nature. The application of this pressure
diea to local organs, such as the
eye and ear. is a new departure.
The method of anaesthesia practiced
by Dr. Fitzgerald is based on the
known fact that there are areas in the
nose, throat and mouth that are highly
sensitive and that contain delicate and
intricate nerve sources. It was by
cfnrU* r>f ,thp 7nnps that Dr. Fitzgerald
worked \ ut his discovery, the method
of applying which he demonstrated in
so startling a way at the clinic.
Dr. Fitzgerald is a native of Middletown,
Conn. He was graduated from
the University of Vermont, was in the
Boston City hospital three years and
studied in Europe four years. He is an
a? \ ciate member of the New York
Academy of Medicine and a frequent

Baw Meat For Tuberculosis.
Professor Charles Richet, the distinguished
scientist to whom was awarded
the nobel prize for medicine this
year, has announced in Paris that
tuberculosis can be cured with raw
meat juice.
"The treatment is difficult 1 fol
low,*' he says, "but I have proved its
effectiveness. Every day the patient
must go to a slaughter house, obtain
ten pounds of fresh meat, then extract
the revivifying juice from it. This is
a long and tedious task. Ten pounds
of meat yield about half a pint of
juice, which should be conserved on
ice.
"My patients who were suffering
from tuberculosis of the lungs were
cured by this treatment, aitnougn il
had to be followed faithfully for three
years.
"I admit it is a costly as well as a
difficult remedy, but it is a certain one
in all but the most advanced cases. I
do not believe any serum exists which
will cure the dread disease."
Dr. Calmette has discovered a vac

his experiments are not conclusive as
to his effective treatment of humans.

PETTICOAT GOVERNMENT.
I I
Petticoat government is an am- j
biguous phrase. It may mean two
different things: either that you

govern your petticoats they are, or they j
govern your petticoats or that your 1
may be, a noble form of attire. But j
when they begin to control you, and j
; limit your right of action, your right1
of speed, your right of physical ease, j
then they become ignoble; and they j
tend to make you ignoble also.
I heard once of an old lady of 94, j
who rejected a mantle chosen for her ,
by her granddaughter, "because", said j
she, "when I've got into it I can't go I
like this." Andi , forthwith, for demonstration,
she started waving her j
arms like a wind-mill. "But when do !
you ever want to go like that?" in- I
quired her granddaughter. "I like to i

It is a general statement, put in ;

should not allow themselves to be

does tend literally to spread itself,
and to have a right and modifying

The long skirt or robe lends itself to

is slow, regulated and ornate; the

history of unpetticoated government,
exercised to a good and successful
end, was provided not by a man but a
woman, when, in order to secure the
remission of an oppressive and inijuitous
tax, a certain Lady Godiva
rode th-ough the streets of Coventry
with "nothing on.*' And well would it
be for all women to take her as their
patron and example, and again and
again and constantly do violence to
their conventional sense of modesty
in order to shame men into just ways.
In our war against evil it is not always
sufficient merely to "gird up
the loins;" sometimes we must also
strip.
SHE KNEW HIS VOICE.
(From-the Cleveland Plain Dealer.)
Black (we've got to call him that
because he's really a very decent fellow,
and he'd kill us if we told his
real name) is first tenor in a glee
club. He sings in a choir, too. Everybody
likes him.
The other night a bunch of young
people met for a social session at a
certain house in the suburbs. They
ate and danced and they sang. And
when it was all over the prettiest
young woman there?she hadn't been
escorted thither by any chosen cavalier?said:
"I walk home, but it's a lonesome
walk, and I'm afraid. There have been
hold-ups in this part of town. So I
choose Mr. Blank to see me safe
home.'' On the way home, Mr. ?5ianK
was considerably swelled up. The
prettiest girl had chosen him from a
crowd of personable bachelors, and
his feeling of self-fsatififaction was
excusable. He couldn't resist saying:
"Why did you think I was the
strongest and bravest man there tonight?''
