When the situation in Cuba became
very severe, Clara Barton applied to
the Spanish government for permission
to carry her Red Cross there. This
the Queen granted. and Miss Barton
announced to the people of the United

The vegetation of the Guianas is a
devouring mass of green, which steadily
encroaches, and is kept down only by
the ceaseless warfare of one plant upon
another. A tree springs up and finds its
way to the top by its energy. 1t is no
sooner established than parasite begins
to climb its trunk and lace itself around
the tree, until finally the grip Of the
parasite kills the tree, and both fall to
ruin and decay, leaving space, which

bic without the use of machete and
az. To keep a path open requires con-
slant cutting If you shoot bird on an
animal, it falls perhaps not more than
800 feet away, but itmay require half
hour or an hour to reach it, and unless
you can shoot from canoe and can
drop the bird into the water as a rule
you cannot find your game after it is
killed. Words cannot describe the
beauty of this mass of green, vigorous
vegetation. nor can one comprehend the
difficulty of conquering such a wilder
ness unless one has actually grappled

. SUBSTITUTE FOR AMpUrArIoN.
The Antiseptic Method Which DIR. Recius
Advocates and adopts.

A new and simple mode OF treatment
has been introduced in France by which,
it is claimed, large proportion Of in
jured limbs now usually amputated can
be saved The method, which is due to
DR.. Reclus, was recently described be-
fore the French congress of surgery and
is thus explained:
"Whatever the extent or gravity Of
the LESSONS, he Or. Reclus) never, un-
der any circumstances, amputates the
injured limb but merely wraps il in
antiseptic substances by veritable en-
balming process, leaving nature to sep
arate the dead from the living Tissues.
This method of treatment possesses the
double advantage of being much less fa-
tai than surgical exeresis and of pre-
serving for the use of the patient, If not
the entire limb, at any rate much
larger part than would be left after am
putation. He advocates this very con-
servative treatment ON account of the
excellent effects of hot water, which he
uses freely. After the skin has been
shaved and cleansed from all fatty sub
stances by ether, etc, in the usual way,
a Jet of hot water 60 TO 62 degrees G.
GAO to IA degrees), but not higher, Is
made to irrigate all the injured surfaces
and to penetrate into all the hollows
and under all the detached parts of the
wound, without exception. This is the
only way Of removing all clots and TO
wash away all foreign bodies, together
with the micro-organisms they may con-
tain. The advantages of hot water at
this high temperature are threefold-(D
hot water at this temperature is anti
septic; heat greatly increases the poten-
cy of antiseptic substances; CD it is
hemostatic (that is, stanches the flow
of blood); (3) it helps to compensate
for the loss of heat resulting from the
bleeding, and especially from the trau.
matte shock. After the embalming
process and the dead tissue has been
separated from the living the surgeon
has nothing to do except to divide the
bone at a suitable spot According tC
