Surgery" this passage on operations OK this sort
occurs:
The operation Is a very fatal one. Mikulicz, Of
cracow collected thirty-two cases, of which
only eight recovered from the effects or the
operation up to the end of 1881. Blllroth is re-
ported to have operated eighteen times, Saving
eight patients for "A longer or shorter time
The most recent statistics at once contra
dctory and unpromising. McArde has collected
records OF seventy operations, nine for simple
structure sixty-two for cancer. or the former
five recovered and three died; or the latter TWEEN
ty-one died directly from the operation, fourteen
from peritonitis OF septic absorption, and the
remaining twenty-seven made good recoveries
many Of them being reported well four years
after operation. 1t Is a pity that, IN TINS report
fuller details of the cases were not gwen 1or
then il might have been possible TO explain tne
remarkable discre pancy with Bullins palnstak-
ing studies which seem to demonstrate that
thus far not one case of those which recovered
from the operation can be claimed TO nave peen
really cured Of the disease.
Yet another interesting phase of this sub
tect is regarding the actual process OF digestion
in a human being without n stomach. the
starchy foods and the fats, as has long been
known, are dgested mainly in the intestines
with the aid of the pancreatlc juice and the
bile But the abumnoids digested, as is
also certain in the stomach, through pepsin eX-
GREETED there hydrochloric and Tactic acid. How
does nature do without these, she is certainly
doing in the case Of Schlatter's Anna Lands?
This is something that scientists canLot tell. In
some way, evidently nature can arrange and
adjust her problems.

dis the woman whose stomach DR.. Schlatter re-
moved. the entire stomach was affected, ana
complete excelsior or nothing was necessary.
The operation Of removing portion OF the stom-
ach and fitting the Intestine into what remains
so that the passage OF food In the process OF
digestion may be possible, Is known as gastrot-
omy. the operation OF making new mouth
into the stomach.
This Is done in a very curious and interesting
way. That portion of the stomach that Is dis-
eascd is cut out Of communication. as it were,
taken completely away; though in some cases
cut out of the Circuit OF Digestion, it is allowed
to remain Where the cut Is made the stomach
is sewed up e.. technically there Is suture-
and then, slit being cut in both the stomach
and ntestnes the two are connected and seWed
together. This leaves a special section OF the
intestine In the digestive circuit, but now only
q branch for the bile one OF the most important
of the intestinal digestive juices, to flow down
TO meet the as yet partially absorbed food. The
bile comes from the liver, which lies just over
the pyIoric end of the stomach.
There are half dozen different methods of
Joining intestine and stomach after part OF the
latter has been eXcised. most of which are too
technical to be described popularity. Schlatters
method Of connecting the Gsophagal tube direct
with the intestine. after removing the stomach
completely, is the browning achievement of his
operation. Taking the intestine precisely at its

suture brilliant bit OF surgical work that re-
qured the greatest technical skill for It's &C
complishment
or this operation and its consequences Dr.
George +. Shrady. the Editor Of THE Medical
Record" and a surgeon Of wide repute himself,
says: Il am not speaking for myself, but for
the profession when say that Schlatter's opera
ton is to be considered one of the greatest
triumphs Of modern surgery. He has gone IN
contesaby further than any other man, and
he has done what no one else ever dared to DO
The operation and its results speak for them
selves; the woman operated upon is living. and
has lived for three months. She is now in good
health and without stomach can work The
food u.s. Of course, trihe more carefully pre-
pared than 1t would be ordinarily. but she has
no trouble in dgesting. and eats nearly what
the other patients In the hospital do. Even If
she should die now. or later on. these facts
would not be altered. 1t has been shown to be
possible for woman to live without
stomach"
Dr.. Robert f Weir takes more conservative
view Understand" he says, Il am not under
rating or minimizing the achievement of Dr
Schatter. 1t was brilliant operation. and will
surely be attempted again and again Nothing
like it has ever been done before. 1t stands
alone. and Or. Schlatter the young German
who is as yet only an assistant, should have the
fullest credit. But | do not that it has "a
future Not enough time has elapsed yet to say
whether the operation was really success We
say In cases Of cancer that two years must go
by after an operation before it's success be
determined If the woman lives that time, then
the operation will prove to have real and sub
stantial value"

Some very curious things can be told In this

Vancouver Oh. c. correspondence Of The San
Francisco Chronicle
An English naturalist has just explored an
island in the South Pacific only recently dis
covered and named Christmas Island 1t was
not thought to be inhabited by man or beast.
The naturalist was however. astOunded TO run
across a huge bamboo house in the centre Of
the island. and every sign OF luxury
through its open porticos while the surrounding
country was laid out in beautiful gardens.
AS he appeared in the open glade an aged
white man left a stockade close TO the house
and followed by his native wife and children,
with twenty black servants and concubines
bringing up the rear. came toward him. The
modern Robinson crusoe either refused 10 speak
or had forgotten his native tongue, for he made
himself understood by signs, and this dumb
show was TO the effect that If the visitor did not
leave the island at once it would be worse for
him.
The white man. like the natives wore no
clothing except loinCOth made OF skins. The
natives treated their white master with great
reverence, evidently looking upon him as big
chief or deity. The mans identity could not
be learned
