AMERICAN SURGEONS.
Honors They Have Won by Notable Ad-
vances I'm Their Profession.


To American surgeons is due much
of the progress achieved in their pro-
fession, and this progress has been
greater in recent years at least than
In medicine, says the New York
World. Among the operations OF
Amer can origin now practiced the
world over Is that OF intubating the
iarynx, which originated with Dr.
JOSEPH CDwyer, OF this city. 1t has
superseded the operation OF trache-
Otomy, because it can be done with.
out cutting or bloodshed. as the tube
is passed in few seconds from the
mouth into the throat. This opera
tion which was slowly received
abroad, has now won its way there
and is performed wherever diphtheria
is known.
ln abdominal surgery the Ameri-
can surgeon has kept up with the
times and in no couocry are stab
wounds and gunshot wounds OF the
abdomen treated more successfully
than in the city hospitals. To Dr.
SeSn OF Milwaukee, Wis, belongs the
credit OF introducing greatly i'm
proved method OF uniting the bowel
after a PORTION has been cut away for
injury or disease. and recently but
tons have been invented by Dr.
Murphy OF Chicago, which greatly
simplify and lessen the danger OF the
operation.
Appendicitis, OF which so much Is
heard nowadays. Is an old disease un-
"A taylt n Il
cessful treatment, thanks 20 the
skill OF such surgeons as McBurney
and StimsOn OF New York. Until
the last few years these cases we're
treated for peritonitis, or In amatiOn
OF the bowels, and were very fatal.
At the present time all qualified sur
geons recognize the diseased appendix
rs the cause and have IL removed be-
fore peritOnitis sets In
There has been more progress in
head surgery than in any other
branch. A decade ago surgeons ap-
preached the b!ain with apprehen-
sion, but now assesses in the brain
are opened without hesitation; tumors
have been successfully removed, and
sections OF tho brain have been cut
away without inIuring IL.
,trephining, one OF the Oldest
operations In surgery having been
done centuries before Christ, was
never In the perfect state OF the p es-
ent time. Silver plates and other
substitutes for the natural skull are
rarely III ever used, the bone Itself
being replaced. Dr. David j. Jen-
nings, a surgeon connected with
Bellevue Hospital, successfully per-
formed the operation OF trephining
for the youngest patient on record,
aud has been honOred by fellowship
IN the Edinburgh Obstetrical 30
ciety
The little patient swas only forty
hours old, and the bones on one side
OF the head were SO depressed that IL
they had not been raised the baby
would have been weakmindcd or
paralyzcd II she grew up DR.. Jen-
nings removed a part OF the bone,
raised the rest OF the skull, and after
placing the bone which had been re-
moved sewed up the skin. The baby's
wounds healed nicely and gave her no
trouble. Here again an American
surgeon successfully performed an
operation which had hitherto been
considered too hazardous TO attempt
