MAINE GENERAL HOSPITAL.
The New steriIizing Apparatus Will Il,
Ready for Use Monday.

The new sterilizing appalatus.s suggested
by DR.. Weeks and bought by Hon. ". W..
Thomas,..used to prevent germs getting in
to wounds during surgical operations. will
be Put into service at the Maine General
hospital Monday. The sterilizing appara-
tus is manufactured blythe Sprague-Schuyler
company, of New York, and Mr.. George
W. kellogg, representing that company. is
here experimenting the setting up OF the
plant. There are.four pieces of apparatus.
The first isa strong cylinder of copper.
plated with nickel, inside of which is fitted
a cage of copper wire. 1t is intended to
L1ace inside this cage, the surgeons gown
which he is to wear during opera tion upon
a patient, all cloths to be used in the oper-
alton and the Dandages for doing up the
portion of the body operated upon. The
cylinder is then closed at the end and is
ready for the sterilizing operation. In the
bottom of the cylinder is a small quantity
of water, out of reach of the cloths to be
sterilized. Through this water passes
steam pipe, which is heated hot enough to
vaporize the water is the bottom of the cyl
inder. The steam first expands the micro
organisms in the cloths and as the pressure
increases kills them. thermometer on
the:urper side of the cylinder indicates. the
degree of heat and the pressure. In order
to accomplish the steIilizing process tho
roughly IL is necessary. for the temperature
to be about 240 degrees Fahrenheit, and
the pressure about ten pounds to the square
inch.
A copper box, nickel plated, in intended
for the sterilization of the surgeons instru-
ments in exactly the same manner as de-
scrhed above.
For the sterilization of the water used in
the cleansing of wounds and parts of the
| body operated upon there are two large
copper tanks, fitted with steam pipes. The
water is first filtered and then subjected
| to the pressure necessary to kill all micro
organisms which it may contain. 1t has
been the custom to use distilled water, but
experience has shown that micro-organisln
may exist even in distilled water. while in
water sterilized by this new apparatus no
germ can possibly remain alive.
This sterilizing apparatus has recently
been put into the Massachusetts, Genera
hospital and other large hospitals in Bos-
ton. 1t is used in many of 1.-The largest III
situations in the country and is being put
into others as rapidly as the company can
supply it. They are now having great diff
Guilty to fill thoir orders promptly,'so rapid
| ly are they coming in The apparatus now
in the Maine General hospital is the first to
| be used east of Boston, but it must come
into general use by all hospitals which
work by modern methods.
In addition to the sterilizing apparatus,
Mr.. Thomas's gift in the shape of an extern.
sive and complete set of new surgical in.
struments also the latest models, have been
placed in case with glass doors and rest
on shelves of plate glass. New operating
tables with slabs of plate glass have also

My little girl Hazel is now four years
old. Two years ago she had the grip. After
recovery her eyes grew infamed and sup
turated. For over z months she had to
have her eyes bandaged and stay in dark
room. The family doctor and an oculist
did everything possible. She did not in
prove and even grew worse. At last after
six months he gave US the discouraging
opinion that the cornea of one eye was de-
stroyed
