II we can sell steel rails to foreign

about everything else we make, there
is no reason why we cannot make mer-

1t Is high time to take hold of our mer-
chant marine and do u own carrying

cures her business by substituting her

WOUNDS in The a

Not Instantly Fatal, as Has Been
Shown in Notable Cases.
Tie popular error that n wound in the
heart necessarily involves immediate
death moves a leading British author
ity 10 call attention to the fact that the
error is once more proved by what hap
pened to the Empress of Austria. The
victim usually lives several minutes un-
til sufficient blood has been forced oft
of the wounded chamber into the peri
cardium to cause fatal compression of
the heart from without. In the more
suddenly fatal cases blood escapes free
ly into the mediastinum through a
wound in the pericardium, or death is
instantaneous from shock due to dam
age to the sympathetic or pneumogas-
trio r 1t has, however, long been
known to surgeons that immediate
death does not always follow a wound
in the heart. Pare, in 1862, reported
the case of a duelist who, after receiv-
ing a sword thrust in the heart large
enough to admit the finger, pursued his
opponent. thrusting ut him several
times. for twenty PAGES, and then fell
dead. Billy, in 1850, described the case
of n patient who lived five days after a
sword wound of the right auricle.
-Four instances of gunshot wounds
not Immediately fatal appear in the
Medical and Surgical History of the
War Of the Rebellion" published in
Washington in 1870. The first patient
survived a wound of the right auricle
by a round musket ball for fourteen
days. The second lived an hour and q
half after n perforation Of the right
auricle and left ventricle by a conical
pistol ball. The third suffered from
perforation of the left auricle and left
ventricle, in addition to gunshot
wounds Of the intestine. axilla and
lung, yet lived for forty-six hours. The
fourth patient was wounded in the
right auricle by a musket ball. He
died two years and a half later.
The following case is given on &C.
count Of its close resemblance in some
particulars to that OF the murdered
empress. The patient had inflicted
with a large sheath knife several stabs
on an assailant. who seized his wrist.
turned the point of the knife toward
him, and suddenly drove the blade with
great force into his chest. the handle
still being grasped in the owners hand.
The wounded man fell at once. gaspins
for breath. his face deadly pale. and
died in about eight minutes. The blade
of the knife had gone clean through the
sternum. traversed the mediastinum,
and freely opened the right auricle.
The cavities of the heart were empty,
the sac of the pericardium and the
mediastinum were filed with blood
The heart was wounded so that the
chamber was opened. and the blood IN
that chamber partly escaped into the
pericardial cavity, and thus fatal com.
preston ensued. probably before the
system had suffered from sufficient re.
duction of blood supply to destroy life

anything?

No. Men and women will probably
keep right on getting married. in spite
