ton had passed away. This was be-
cause there was no care in the dressing
Of wounds with reference to killing or
excluding the bacteria of the air. In
struments used by surgeons were not
boiled in water or treated with antisep-
tics of a character that would destroy
disease germs. AS a result there was
a great accumulation of pus in every
wound. however simple, and the patient
often died of fever or blood poisoning.
Before it was discovered that the
chief evil in operations exists in the
germs that surround US at all times
there was no care about sponges. the
clothing Of the operator, or the condi-
tion Of his instruments. 1t is all chang
ed now, and there is not a reputab BILE
surgeon anywhere. whether in hospital
or on the battlefield, who does not know
that the fate of the wounded person
largely depends on the care with which
the first dressing is made. In the old
days surgeons, not knowing that harm
lurked in the very air and in all par
ticles Of clothing, applied anything TO
wound Now the greatest care is
taken that the first dressing is Of an
antiseptic character. and that the
cloths or cottons are thoroughly medi-
Gated. Instruments are now sterilized,
and operations are conducted under the
most exacting conditions of cleanliness

carries book that gives him full in
structions what to do in the case Of a
serious wound. One of the first things
is to build a fire and heat the water in
which he washes his hands, placing
them in the bath when it is as hot as
ne can bear. The wound is then
sprinkled with iodoform or some other
antiseptic powder.
The bandages and congresses are of
gauze prepared with bichlorde, another
powerful germicide. The surgeon and
his aides are again thoroughly cleaned
by the use Of hot water and antiseptics,
and the instruments to be used are
boiled and treated with antiseptics. A
good fire with plenty of vessels of boil
ing water, made better by the introduc-
tion of a handful of salt to the quart,
constitute the very basis of modern
military surgery. The water is not
only useful for the instruments and the
cleansing of the operators hands, but
1t is also used for the irrigation of GER
tain wounds and the purifying of the
bandages. Cotton congresses, threads,
drainage tubes, absorbent cotton and
sponges are boiled before brought near
wound. In some cases of great haste
the instruments are made pure by be-
ing placed in a vessel of alcohol which
IS touched with a match and burnt un-
til the metal is quite hot. One part of
bicarbonate of soda is often added to a
hundred parts of water as an aid in
aseptic surgery.
Thus reduced to its simplest prin-
ciples. modern surgery is seen to mean
cleanliness, combined with the use of
powerful germicides on the instruments
and in the dressings used on wounds.
Ii has been demonstrated that nearly
all the deaths in the old days were due
TO the fact that the millions of bacteria
that surround us in daily life, and that
do little harm when We are well. pounce
down upon the wounded. settle in the
wounds and multiply at the rate of
millions in twentyfour hours, until the
patient died of blood poisoning. 1t will
be difficult to calculate the suffering
prevented and the lives saved by mod
ern aseptic surgery.

ASeptiC Methods Confirm New Theories and
Save Human Life.
Boiling Water and Powerful GermiCides for Instru-
ments and Dressings Work Wonders
in the Hospitals.

Ever since the first battle on Cuban
soil the Record Union has contained
dispatches from time to time concern
ing the remarkable success that has
attended what the correspondents call
"aseptic," or 'antiSeptic," surgery 1t
is said that all the surgeons and nurses
of the Sanitary Corps of the army are
delighted with the marked success of
the system.
1t is probably true that only small
percentage of those who read these
dispatches have even the most vague
idea Of their meaning. To surgeons
and lovers of science, however, as well
as TO the taxpayer, who is to help pay
the great pension rolls of the future,
the triumph of asepsis, as clean, mod
ern surgery is termed, is perhaps the
most marvellous of all the achievements
OF modern surgery.
To bring the matter down to plain
English and give the reader practi-
cal idea of the meaning of aseptic or
antiseptic surgery DR.. Huntington of
this city was visited. He gave the fol-
lowing clear ideas on the subject:
'Aseptic surgery" said he, means
simply clean surgery, or surgery free
from puS and the germs that hereto
fore annoyed US on the battlefield, as
We'll as in hospitals. In the old days,
as recently as during the late war, a
military hospital was a chamber of
horrors, simply because we did not
know that nearly all the deaths that
occurred after the first shock We're the
result Of unclean surgery, which caused
the spread of poison"
1t was learned from the doctor that
there has been great progress in sur
gerry ever since the marked advances
in bacteriolOgy that characterized the
last decade. In the old days-that is
until about fifteen years ago-there was
a large percentage of deaths after the
shock OF the wound or surgical opera

Operations that We're formerly regard
ed as fatal are now undertaken with
out fear that the results will be even
serious.
During the late war of the rebel
Hon,' said Dr. Huntington, "a surgeon
called to dress a wound would stop the
loss of blood in most anyway, picking
up a cloth of any character. The pa
tient was taken to a field hospital,
where there was absolutely no effort at
what we called asepsis, for the mean
ing of such surgery was unknown.
Sponges already used on others, cloths
that were infected, were used, while
everything that came in contact with
the patient contained the germs that
caused suppuration. Even the instru-
ments We're simply washed a little in
cold water. How is it now? Every
instrument is sterilized by being placed
in boiling water, as we'll as by being
treated with antiseptics. The operator
is thoroughly clean, his hands having
been washed in antiseptics while all
the dressings are germ proof. Iodo-
form, carbolic acid or some other an
tiseptic is used and there is little dan
ger of infection. The result is there
is marked progress in a large percent
age of the cases, although the methods
of applying modern surgery on the
battlefield are of course far from as
perfect as they are in hospitals"
In modern surgery it is held that the
first dressing decides the fate of the
patient and largely determines the
character and subsequent course Of the
wound If the wounded man gets away
from the battlefield alive, and is
promptly attended to, there are many
chances in his favor. In the old days
a gunshOt wound of the leg was ser
ious, if not fatal. Now the soldier gets
away and probably brings a pretty
good leg with him.
