M* Whiteside, sup of t.he hospital. Results ji the operation performed yesterday1! aid to h?- Mitistm-tory. '1 his new anaesthetic has behind i an interesting history. At. .the meeting ?f the American Hospital ociatfon hehl two years ago in MiM ,vaukee, reports on it were made, 'these reports showing, according to , hospital superintendent, that tho IN esbyterian hospital in Chicago had used it on 1,000 pationts With good effect, patients being kept under its' influence from thTee minutes, to three, !lours with no ill effects. ? ; '' The gas was discovered through in quiries of flower dealers in Chicago who reported to the city authorities that their flowers, especially chrysan themums, "went to sleep"? or closed "their petals. An investigation was launched and it was found that a uas from the street lamps caused tho going to sleep" of the flowers, the ?ms being known as ethylene .gas. " some of it .was generated and ex~ pemments were made with it on kit tens, which it put to sleep at once. Puppies were also experimented upon with the same results and then one of the men who was testing out the gas agreed to allow his < co-expen meitter to administer it to him, with the result that the patient ^vent to sleep. Then ten men were given the gas and immediate anaesthesia was secured. The properties of the new gas, Superintendent W'hiteskde said, .anil many. One of the advantages as compared with ether, is that it pro-j duces almost iinstant anaesthesia. There is an asence of the 4,exciting stage" frequent with ether* the hos pital superintendent said. Conscious ness returns at once when the pa- 1 tient stops inhaling, the gas. A com plete relaxation is secured while the patient is under it. There is no tendency, Superintendent Whiteside said, to develop pneumonia on the part of the patient, nor is there any nausea. - The new gas, it was said, is extremely explosive and great care has to be exercised in handling it in order to pfeVent explosion. Kfforts are being made, Superintendent Whiteside said, to eliminate this un desirable feature. Commercially, the gas is about as expensive as ether. It Pays To Tell The Women 1 That is, if you are a business man, I it pays to teU the women what you have for sale. It is surprising, to read apparently reliable statistics tol the effect that women spend much the larger part of the country's outgo in almost every line of merchandis- 1 ing. They buy 85 per cent of every thing sold by department ' stores, about 75 per cent from the drug stores, over 80 per cent from the groceries, about 75 per cent of the pianos, about 88 per cent of all lea ther goods, a little over 40 per cen* even of automobiles, and t key deter I mine the buying of a lot more, almost I 50 per cent of even the hardware, practically 80 per Cent electrical sup plies, 80 per cent of men's socks, half I the men's neolcWear, and 90 per cent I of all the jewelry. Taken all together,! the women, it is said, do780 per cent in value of all the reta.il trade w the country. 1 We knew the women w?e spend ing a lot of money, but wo dW?l realize that they werb ftwnin* th.ngtl with such a high hand as that. ^ TOJ tell the truth about It tber spend thel money with a good deal wstter re*| suits than most men do. ?
