La Junta tribune. (La Junta, Bent County, Colo.) 1881-1939, 1898-08-06

Kings College Hospital. London, about
twenty years ago. introduced there
what has been called the .aseptic"
method OF surgical treatment. In this
method the whole vicinity Of the part
to be operated on. called. in the Ian
guage of the clinic. the surgical field"
is impreEnated with a spray of car
bolic acid by means OF an atomizer.
As soon as the operation is finished.
not only Is the air excluded from the
wound by bandages. but these band
ages are stepped in solutions OF germi-
eide carbollc acid, to exterminate the
zoe that besets the wound from with
out. The instruments and the hands
that operate are also washed in solu-
tion of carbolic acid.
As a result of this practice 1t was
found that wounds healed at the first
intention" There was seldom need Of
treating suppuration, for suppuration
never appeared, except when the oper-
ator or some of his assistants had been
guilty OF gross carelessness. Bandages
were left on until the flesh had grown
together again. There was no more
washing of wounds to be done, nor
any expectation of febrile symptoms as
4 matter of course. The patient was
expected to leave his bed. not wasted
with slow fever. but hale and hearty.
Between the new treatment and the
old there was all the difference be-
tween prevention and cure.
1t was evident. CT course. to Lister
and his followers that they were pro-
tecting their patients against some
thing tangible and destructible that
could be made to feel the sting Of a
powerful acid. 1t remained for the
microscope and the brains OF such men
as Pasteur. Koch. Pruden and Surgeon
General John NJ. Sternberg of the Unit
ed States army to successfully investi-
gate the nature and general ways of
that something. The power of the
microscope happened to the prodigious-
ly increased just about that time by
discoveries in practical optics, and one
OF the first results was the detection
and Identification Of "streptococcus py
ogeres."

causes had not yet been discovered. 1t
was supposed that the atmosphere OF
hospital was impregnated with a sub
tie, impalpable infection, which could
only be combated after 1t had begun to
show its effect in suppuration. One
fluid result OF this infection was even
called. quantity enough. "laudable pus,"
because. on the theory that certain
degree Of suppuration was unavoidable.
It was regarded as a troublesome hui

fever. 1t was not then known, perhaps
hardly even suspected. that the sur
geon himself was actually inoculating
e patient after patient with terrible
specific disease.
- The surgeons OF the civil war would
doubtless have been very much sur
prised to hear that their hands, hastily
rinsed in cold hydrant or spring water,
= were busy carrying from wound to
wound hundreds of organisms, the
proper name of which was or was to be
''streptococcus pyogenes." Two med
icai discoveries-one, in the honest
sense Of the word. empirical. the other
resulting from purely scientific investi-
gation-led to the detection and appre-
! hension of this wholesale assassin.
Many surgeon, before the year 1878,
would have been glad to know how It
might be possible to amputate legs and
arms without suppuration. Many tried
for solution Of the problem, although
most were, no doubt, content to take
things as they found them, welcome the
. appearance of their ''laudable pus,"
and ight the. to them. .stnevitable hos

Mr.. Thomas G. Hensey, chairman of the
central committee of the Citizens Suf-
frage Association of the District, declin-
ing the position of vice president, to which
he was unanimously elected. He declares
that his great age-eighty-eight years
and the condition of his health stand in the
way of his accepting the place He says
that for more than twenty years he has
been n contender for suffrage for the peo-
pie of the District. To deprive them of 1t,
he says, is as great a wrong as that which
inspired the forefatharS to cast off the
yoke of Great Britain and erect this re-
public. He adds:
THE Congress of the United States has
assumed the right to disfranchise more than
a quarter of a million of citizens because
they have become residents of the District
of Columbia. They are taxed to support
the government. yet they are deprived Oh
any voice in its affairs. This great wrong
