Inc Telephone VIII BE Used by Doc
The time is coming when the great
specialists in heart and lung diseases
will make diagnoses upon patients
hundreds, perhaps thousands, of miles
away, and with the same unerring ac-
curacy that the trained ear insures in
the private Office, says the New York
World. The time when this will be
done is not far off. In fact, it is
possible today, though not commerce.
ally practicable. The instrument
which will bring about this revolution
is the improved telephone. Men are
now at work following up a series of
experiments made in 1884 by a tele-
phone company which promises soon
TO make the exercise of these eXtraor-
binary telephone powers commonplace.
In the year mentioned a line was
strung between this city and Boston
with the most perfect insulation pos
sible and provided with the most pow
erful transmitters and receivers then
available. 1t was found, to the sur
prise and delight of the experimenter,
that 1t was not necessary to place the
lips to the instrument to be distinctly
heard at the other end. The transmit
ter was placed against the throat and
conversation was heard in Boston al
most as clearly as when the words were
spoken into it. The operator then
placed the transmitter against his chest
and was clearly understood over 300
miles of wire. Going still farther in
his investigation, the transmitter was
placed against the abdomen and even
then. his words were audible in Boston.
This, of course, meant that the vibra-
lions of the larynx, although weaken
ed by distance and screens of tissue.
were yet strong enough to make a rec
ord upon the delicate mechanism of the
receiver. But ever more marvellous
facts than these were brought out
which suggested the medical possihili-
ties OF the instrument. With this i'm
proved transmitter and the perfect cir
cult q man in New York could make
enough noise in Boston to be heard
n understood by a man in the next
ROOF to the one in which the receiy-
ing instrument was set up. More re-
markable still, the tick of a watch and
even ordinary breathing could be dis
tinctly heard, as if the ear were close
to the persons mouth. If this were a.
fact twelve years ago, with the i'm
provements in the 4circuit and instru-
ments that are constantly being made,
hardly anything viii be surprising.
h men who are making the expert
ments promise to transmit the beating
of the heart and the action of the
lungs from a sethoscope placed to the
transmitter as clearly as if it were
placed directly to the doctors ears.
