PAINLESS SURGERY.



DR.. John B. Murphy and DR.. edward
H. Ochsner have returned to Chicago
from the triennial meeting of the inter-
national medical congress held in
Paris. DR.. Murphy brings with him an
interesting report OF the recovery and
demonstration of me effect Of local
anesthesia as applied in cases of major
surgery. Local anesthesia heretofore
has been applied only in cases of minor
surgery, chloroform and ether having
been the only known agents used in
cases of major surgical operations.
The efficacy of local anesthesia in
cases of amputations and other major
surgical operations was discovered and
demonstrated only a short time ago by
DR.. Tuffier of France, and has received
notice only in the Partisan medical
journals. Its demonstration by DR..
Tuftier before the surgeons attenu4ng
the international medical congress
awakened widespread interest, and the
| event was announced as epoch-making
in the annals of medicine
Cocaine was the agent used by DR..
Tuffier, it being injected hypodermic-
ally into the spinal cord and anesthe-
tizing the entire region about the
point of injection so perfectly that the
most difficult surgical operations be-
low that point were carried on with
out pain, and while the physician car
ried on conversation with the patient
The event, DR.. Murphy says, marks
fourth epoch in medicine. the other
three being, first, the pre-anesthedC
period; second, the anesthetiC period;
third, the antiseptic period and now
the local anesthetic period.
The demonstration of the practical
bility of local anasthesia in cases Of
major surgery was perfect" said DR..
! Murphy. Or. TutIier, the discoverer,
| Opeated on four cases hypodermically
! injecting cocaine into the region occu-
pied by the cerebo-spinal fluid in the
spine, and anesthetizing perfectly the
entire body below the point of injec-
ton. This enabled him to perform
the most painful operation without the
patient experiencing the least sensi-
bility.
The discovery is a wonderful one
| in surgery, inaSmuCh as out of 100
case operated upon by him he stated
he had had no fatalities. The discovery
of the practicability of anesthetizing
the spinal cord by hypodermic iniec-
tions of cocaine and producing insensl-
! bility below the point of injection was
made by Dr. Tufller in March last. The
fact was commented upon at the time
| by French medical journals, but re-
Ceiyed little notice in the United States
or throughout the continent and Eng
land. Like all discoveries of the kind
that have been made, it may now be
termed a simple thing, since it seems
TO be so easy, the wonder being that
some one had not hit upon it before.
The discovery removes chloroform
and ether from their places as the
! great anesthetizing agents for use in
cases Of major surgery. These agents
have been greatly feared by a great
many people owing to their effect upon
the heart and lungs and the distressing
nausea they often produced. There are
no such i'll effects from the use Of
cocaine, although, as 1t IS well known,

1t is interesting TO make inquiry into
the cause Of this unfortunate quality
of the onion. 1t is simply due to the
presence in some quantity OF
mineral matter in the bulb sulphur.
1t is this sulphur that gives the onion
its germ-killing property and makes
the bulb SO very useful a medical agent
at all times.

THE RASTER LILY.

full but homely potato. The bulbs are
shipped to all the large cities in great
quantities during the autumn and winter
and placed in greenhouses to he Develop
ell into the lovely plant which has be-
come symbolichl of Easter.
The soil and climate OF Bermuda are
especially adapted to the growth OF the
lily. Our florists have had all kinds Of
idens of growing this flower in California,
Georgia and Florida, bur with no great
results as yet. The lily. like many other Of
the most beautiful flowers, improves on
its stem by age.f Not until the second
year is II now thought advisable to ship
bulbs from Bermuda to the United
States. Many growers prefer to wait up-
til the fourth year, when the bulb Is
hearty and strong enough TO produce
beautiful flowers even with careless
treatment. AS to the number of these
bulbs now produced In Bermuda and
shipped TO the United States for Easter
purposes, II is said that between 10000
600 and 100000 bulbs were sent here
last year. ttf
Whether II has been possible to pro-
vide such large number of bulbs this
season depends entirely upon the condi-
ton of lily fields in Bermuda during the
last year. The Florists club of New
York has over and over again asserted
that cutting the leaf bearing stem Inn
pairs the vigor Of tho flower bearing bulb
and thus lessons its value. The expert
ence of growers has been that the prac-
tice of cutting the lily flowers with long
stems aud shipping them tends to weaken
the bulb. Flowers thus cut are of no
substantial value or beauty for more than
q day or two. and the bulb Is ruined.
Last year combination of Bermuda lily
growers was formed for the purpose of
preventing this threatened destruction of
the lily trade which met with unqualified
approval OF reputable dealers In the Unit
States. who Ind gone so far as to have an
effort mnde 10 introduce resolution into
congress prohibiting the importation of
lily bulbs from Bermuda unless guaran-
teed to be In a perfectly healthy condi-
ton.
The committee OF the Florist club, to
which this matter was referred. express-
ed an opinion at the time, nfter cOnsulta-
ton with all the lily growers in this
country. that II would be impossible to
ask for government redress, which would
naturally work Its own course out in
time.
The hnrrisI lilies continue 10 be the
greatest fayorites this year. Their only
rival is the l.. longiiiorum, but the most
sincere growers Of the lily in Bermuda
do not give the preference TO the latter
flower Its cost OF production MS com.
pared with the hnrriii has rather de-
TERED growers from exporting II to this
country. II may he taken for granted,
therefore, that the great majority Of Eas-
ter lilies shown md bought to be enjoyed
