demonstration that the beating Of
the heart is due to the presence of
salt in the blood, and not, accord
ing to other and older theories,
to proteids in the blood, or to
nerve action. Suspended in the
proper solution strips of the heart
of a turtle, from which the blood
had been removed SO far as possible
have been made to contract
rhythmically as in the living heart
beat. Prof. Lingle's conclusions
are:
"That sodium and not calcium
is the stimulus for rhythmic
contractions of the heart.
"That \ pure sodium chloride
solution has an injurious effect OH
heart tissues.
"That calcium, and possibly
potassium, salts improve the
rhythm by neutralizing this iii
furious effect.
"That heart strips will not beat
rhythmically in solutions of non
conductors"
1t is accordingly predicted that
physiological study will take on
new life, and be pursued along
different, lines from those hitherto
followed. Great practical results
in the way of restoring heart ac-
ton are also predicted by the dis
covery, though it is to be men-
toned that surgeons have already
to some extent made use of
Lypodermic injections of sodium
solutions in rest BRING patients after
difficult operations.
Having learned all this from
the scientists at the university
at the university, the Chicago
reporters seem to have NO difficulty
in going forth and finding some
practical illustrations of the ex-
traordinary lifegiving properties
of common salt-whlch discoveries
seem to be responsible for the
report now obtaining circulation
that the professors were making
claim to the discovery of a life
elixir. G. R. VanLercook, 81 years
old, was found, for example, taking
a pinch of salt from pocket vial
just as the reporter called. MIR.
Vandercook talked freely as fol-
lows:
"This is my elixir of life, this
is the cause of my logevity-con-
mon table salt. have not been
without bottle of it in my pocket
for 25 years, and could attend a
Christmas hop tonight and dance
until morning as nimbly as !
could so years ago. Salt preserves
the human system as it does pork
in the packing house. 1t induces
circulation and purifes and III
creases the fuidity of the blood"
Which awakens the terrible sus-
picion that the university scien-
lists may owe their discovery to
visit to the Chicago stockyards or
some other pork-packing plant.
This Mr. Vandercock seems to be a
physician, though he is not so
written down in connection with
the elixir discovery. He has given
the salt remedy, he says, to hun
dreds of people with beneficial re-
suits, and recommends it espe-
cialiy for consumptives. "salt
preserves the lime on the lungs,
and without lime the lungs dry up.
In all the post-mortem examlna-
tions of consumptives l have ever
seen I found the lime had gone
from the lungs and deposited it.
self on the intestines, covering
them over" Whether the salt
trust has hand in all this cannot
be COL fdently affirmed or denied.
