celebration that is calculated 10 keep alive
in the hearts of all our citizens the mem
ory of Washington and to cherish these
civic virtues which the Father Of His Coun-
try has left US as a most precious heritage.
1t is pleasant to recall the fact that 100
! years ago, a few days after Washington S

tribute to inspire US all with a greater
reverence for the father of our country and
a deeper attachment to our civil and polit-
! ical institutions"

BACILLUS PRODUCES GAS
n It Catches You, You WIZ ruT Like
Balloon.

Balloon.
Bacteriology has produced a new and
important discovery in bacillus which
produces an infiammable gas, both be-
fore and after death. The first re-
searches proved the rapid development
OF the bacillus in the blood vessels af-
ter death. Later 1t was shown that this
organism can, and sometimes does,
grow before death, and in certain cases
has produced DEATH The only treat
ment which has resulted in recovery
to this time Is amputation. and in some
instances that, too, has failed.
The name which scientists have
given to this bacillus is the bacillus
aerogenes capsulatus.' When the ba-
cillus is injected into the bodies of
mice, guinea pigs, rabbits and pigeons
It means death for these subjects in
from one to two days. The bacillus
rapidly develops an enormous amount
of gas throughout the body, till the
victim Is swollen like a balloon; for
the gas collects under the skin and
puffs it up like a bladder. This gas
burns with blue fame If 1t is allowed
to escape and then touched with
match
Infection with this bacillus produces
a rapid poisoning. with a breaking
down of the infected tissues, and the
gas quickly spreads gangrene. Death
follows unless prompt and thorough
means are taken for the removal of the
entire infected area.
Infection from this bacillus may
reach wounds through instruments,
the hands of surgeons or through the
intestinal tract.
case treated by an Alabama doc
tor recently was that of negro pris-
oner who had been shot. He was 30
years old and weighed 100 pounds.
Forty hours before observation he had
received a revolver bullet below the
knee, which had ranged downward and
passed out of the leg six inches below.
The skin all over the wounded member
was distended into a huge bag and
gave a cracking sensation on pressure.
A bloody bubbing, frothy fluid ex-
uded from the wound of exit on the
slightest touch The wound of en-
trance had partially healed, and it had
a healthy appearance.
AS soon as the leg had been cleans
ed with an antiseptic solution, the
man was etherized and deep incison
made. Fluid and gas rushed out with
a noise that could be heard all over the
room. The wound was thoroughly
cleansed, being irrigated with hot
water. 1t was packed with antiseptic
gauze then, and 1t was felt that the
leg might be saved. Then the doctor
and his assistant began to hunt for the
bacillus. They found it. and subse-
Quent investigations proved that they
had caught the right fellow. But the
next morning the leg was as bad as be-
fore. and 1t was decided that nothing
but amputation could save the man $
life. The operation was performed,
and eventually the man recovered
