As . result OF protracted series q,
experiments with salt solutions. the
efficacy of which in
prolonging life was
recently announced
by Prof. Loeb. of the University of Chi
cago, two prominent physicians Of
that city claim to have demonstrated
that in cases of great loss Of blood by
disease or injury. normal salt solution
used as a restorative will save life even
when 80 per cent. of the blood has been
lost. The experiments, which have
been extended over a period of six
months, have, according to the phys-
clans, made practicable new system
of bleeding and substitution of salt So

pneumonia, typhoid, malarial fevers,

disease and all heart affections result.
ing from the last named complaint.
Much success has followed, the Ihysi-
clans say, all their experiments. par
ticularly those made with pneumonia
and Bright's disease. In their expert
ments the physicians used more than
100 dogs and found it possible to with
draw 20 per cent. of the circulation
from an animal before it was necessary
to inject stimulant. The final test
was made on dog from which 90 per
cent. of the blood had been withdrawn.
needle connected with salt water
apparatus containing two per cent.
solution was inserted in the jugular
vein and a second needle inserted in the
junction of the large veins lying close
to the heart. After the blood had been
drawn off the salt solution was forced
in around the heart and into the ves-
sells Of the brain. The dog was able to
stand inside Of an hour and on the fol.
lowing day was able to walk. 4 human
patient suffering with pneumonia, who
was operated upon, recovered in much
shorter time than it was customary
with those suffering with that trouble.
In cases of malaria the injection Of the
salt solution was made directly into the
spleen and in six weeks all symptoms
OF disease had disappeared. No claim
was made that a cure had been effect
ed in cases of Brights disease, the ply
sicians merely asserting that they had
removed several of the most trouble

Railroad men in Atchison, Ran, are
puzzled over a question of duty or or.

foreman and one hand. The printed
rules of the company require that in
case a rail should be found broken, one
section hand must go in one direction
and another in the other, for the pur.
pose Of tagging trains. Now. the ques-
tion troubling Atchison is. how could
the rail be mcnded with the entire
