OLD TIME SURGERY.


ployed In the sixteenth Century.
Ambrose Pare, a barber surgeon of the
sixteenth century, tells in his notes how
in 1887 he went to the long wars to get
practice in surgery. He invented some
new processes, particularly in the treat
ment of amputatcd limbs.
Up to Parc's time the most barbarous
means had been used to stop the bleeding.
In his own words: $50 soon as the limb
was removed the surgeons would use many
cauterics to stop the flow of blood, a thing
very horrible and cruel in the mere telling.
And truly of six thus cruelty treated
scarce two ever escaped, and even these
were long i'll and the wounds thus burned
were slow to heal, because the burning
caused such vehement pains that they fell
into fever, convulsiOns and other mortal
accidents. In most of them, moreover,
when the scar fell off there came fresh
bleeding, which must again be stanched
with the cautcries So that for many heal
ing was impossible, and they had an ulcer
to the end of their lives, which prevented
them from having an artificial limb"
The idea of abolishing such cruelty by
using the ligaturc occurred TO Pare in one
of his war journeys, and his success went
beyond his own expectations. His other
discovery was made within few hours of
his joining the army. 1t was believed by
the surgeons of the day that there was
poison in gunshot wound, and one of the
accepted authorities insisted that they
must be CautCriZed with oil of elders
scalding hot, mixed with little treacle. F"
The pain was intolcrablo. 1t happened
that at his first treatment of gunshot
wounds parc's oil ran short, and he used
instead "a digestive made of the yolks of
eggs, oil of roses and turpentine." TO his
surprise, he found next morning that the
| patients he had thus treated were in bet
ter condition than the others. "Then
resolved never moro to burn thus cruelty
poor men with gunshot wounds"

A Chapter OF Political History Recalled.

The death of VIM. II. Robertson, ex-
collector OF the port of New York, at his
home in Katonah, N. Y, Monday night,
recalls the bitter fight which President
Garfield precipitated by the nomination of
Judge Robertson for the New York col
lectorship. The judge was "a half breed"
an opponent of the stalwaIts led by Roscoe
Conkling, and as a delegate in the national
convention of 1880 had de6ed and broken
the unit rule, defeated the nomination of
Gen. Grant to the presidency for a third
term and made possible Gar6eld's nomina-
ton.
The New York senators, Roscoe Conk-
ling and "Me Too" Plat, accepted Gar
fields nomination of Robertson for the
collectorship as deadly affront and they
resigned their seats and went home to seek
vindication by reelection from the legis-
lature of the Empire state. A deadlock in
the legislature was the result, and in the
midst of the excitement, and prompted to
thedeed by it undoubtedly, Guiteau shot
down President Garfield just as he was leav-
ing Washington to attend the Williams col
lege commencement. Two weeks later, while
Garfield lay fatally stricken, the New York
legislature elected Warner Miller to fill
Senator Platt's place and Elbridge G. Lap
ham to succeed Mr.. Conkling. Conkling
turned to the law, in which he was to win
and hold foremost place until he died
| from exposure and over-exertion in the
| great blizzard of March, 1888. Plat went
back to his express business and bided his
time. Now he is the boss of the Republi-
can machine in New York, or was until
! Theodore Roosevelt was elected governor.
