such condolences to lunar influence. But
the theory is untenable unless it applies

Surgical Hospitals In the Mountains.

Gen. Thomas Kane's idea of putting up
a surgical hospital among the crisp
mountain breezes of Elk county, Penn
sylvania, so that in capital cases, both the
surgeon and the patient could repair for
the operation TO a bracing atmosphere,
was certainly far sighted. It would al
ways be much wiser, we believe, even at
the added cost which great surgeons
time entails, to have surgical operations
in the summer season performed outside
OF the depressing influences that any large
city rs subject to. 1t would not have
taken much more than a few degrees more
Of oppressive heat and humidity during
the recent heated fortnight to have ex-
hausted 8 number of persons in their
usual state Of health who have managed
to keep alive and attend to their business.
A very slight addition to the depressing
circumstances on the nerve centers might
have been fatal to hundreds who have
felt themselves brought alarningly nee
to the danger point OF bodily endurans<
II may be well to keep the Kane ioea In
mind for that mountain air surgery, and,
whenever practicable, to let the surgeon
advise an operation to be done in an at
mosphere that is bracing and stimulat-
