CLEANLINESS IN SURGERY.
The Cardinal Precepts of the Science Of
Operating In the Present Day.

The Cardinal Precepts of the Science OF
Operating In the Present Day.
There are three locations, so to speak
The absolute cleanliness of which must
be above suspicion before the operator
is justified in proceeding to his work.
These are the surgeons hands, his in
struments, and the integument cover
ing the part of the patients body at
which the operation is about to be per-
formed. How is the requisite cleanli-
ness in each case secured? So far as
the hands are concerned, by profuse
scrubbing with nail brush in soar
and hot water, followed by a thorough
drenching in some antiseptic solution.
as that of one in two thousand of per.
chloride of mercury; so far as the in
struments are concerned, by sterilizine
them, that is, by boiling them in water,
or by passing them through the flame
of spirit lamp, or placing them in
steam sterilizer, and then, when the
operator is ready to begin, by putting
them into receptacle containing an
antiseptic solution, as, for example,
that of carbolic acid. Lastly, so far as
by washing the part first thoroughly
with soap and water, having previously
shaved it if necessary, and afterward
with perchloride of mercury solution,
or, if the part be greasy, by removing
all the greasy material by scrubbing it
with ether.
Without going into further details,
these are the Cardinal precepts of the
science of operating in the present day.
Of course, each wound which in this
manner is made under aseptic condi-
tions, as it is called, is kept aseptic by
. the use of antiseptic dressings until heal
ing has taken place. The results of this
method of treatment of wounds are
nothing less than wonderful in COMPARE
son with those which. the earlier sur
geons were able to obtain. What hap
pens after, say, the amputatiop of a
limb, nowadays? The rule is-nothing.
Nothing, that is to say, beyond the un-
eventful convalescence of the patient.
The dressings are not touched unless
the temperature and the pulse of the
patient indicate, by some disturbance,
that it would be expedient to examine
the wound. The temperature and the
pulse are the surgeons guide;;~he takes
his cue from them. Nothing can be
amiss in the wound if these remain
normal, and thus 1t follows that large
wound, such as that following an am
putation, heals soundly from first to
last, without any suppuration- What
a contrast with that which obtained in
former days! Suppuration was then
thought to be an indispensable part OF
the healthy process of healing. In the
present time, on the contrary, a surgeon
is held to have failed in his practice Of
the principles of surgical cleanliness if,
? in wounds originally aseptic, suppura-

DIVERSITY OF CROPS.


An Important Matter to the Young Farm
ers of the South.
The young farmers throughout the
south have begun to diversity their
crops, and the result is even more salts
factory than they had anticipated.
The growing of bookkeeping apples
in southwestern Virginia is becoming
one of the most profitable industries in
that locality. The Albemarle pippin is
in the lead as to varieties. Next comes
the York Imperial or johnson apples
and the Wine Sap.
There is no better illustration of the
loss which occurs from the careless
method of marketing farm crops than
this: For every twenty-five cents saved
by the use of only two wires instead of
three in baling ton of hay, the farmer
who bales the hay for shipment to mar
ket loses one dollar. The hay does not
sell as well as when the bales look trim
and neat. This is what the dealers in
hay say, and they ought to know.
The Lewis Brothers, Of Talladega
county, Ala, who are the owners of a
large track of cotton-producing land,
propose to have the laborers consume
the farm products, manufacture all
that they need to wear, convert the
c"ston into cloth and refine the cotton
seed oil, so that everything raised will
reach the market through the product
of the mill. In this way the services
of the middlemen and the cost of ex-
change will be dispensed with. This
is gratifying evidence of the establish
ment of new order of things in the
genial climate Of northern Alabama.
