will undoubtedly soon play an import
ant part in every operation.
In the general move for perfection in
antiseptics, in which such great steps
have been taken in the last ten or tif-
teen years. the danger of causing infec-
ton during an operation has been
greatly minimiZed. To those who have
studied the subject carefully a promi-
nent obstacle to this Nend has been the
danger from the breath of the surgeon
and his assistant. In the hospitals of
Baltimore as elsewhere, the instru-
ments used are carefully washed in an
tiseptic solutions, and the gowns worn
by the surgeon. his assistants and the
students present are all sterilized, but
in spite of these and other precautions
infection does figure to quite a large
extent.
The new mask now being experiment.
ed with in Europe is of fine gauZe.
1t tightly covers the mouth and nose
and hampers in no way the sight the
hearing, or even perfect breathing. The
gauze is merely intended to prevent the
spread of germs and consequent wound
poisoning. Some time ago many sur
geons came to the conclusion that
boards were fruitful sources of infec-
ton. and many now shave closely or
trim their heards quite short, and in
addition, take pains to dsinifect them
before entering the operating arena.
In regard TO the breath, II has been
claimed that the presence of many stu
dents in an operating room adds to tn
danger Movements along this line may
yet end In curtailing the number of stu
dents and spectators in clinics. In the
North the placing of the students be-
hind q plate glass partition has been
tried, and Is said to have been benefic-
ial.
In the experiments In Europe In con-
were made to determine the effect Of
sneezing, coughing or talking while
STOPPING over patient. Trays con-
tanning glycerine-agar, covering an
area usually exposed in a. serious oper-
alton, were placed Upon the table. The
surgeon and his attendants then leaned
over this, exactly as they would when
at work on a patient, and the sneeze,
the cough and the ordinary breath were
given above the traps. Then the ex-
pertinent was repeated with the gauze
masks on. When the trays were car
ried into the laboratory, after an ex-
posture varying from fifteen to thirty
minutes, three distinct varieties OF vir.
ulent germs are said to have been
found on the plates where no mask was
used. while in the other case hardly
any were found. The masks we're so
full OF germs that three rabbits that
were inoculated with them died.
The idea of wearing a mask would
have probably been laughed to scorn by

surgeons not many years ago, as
would the many other precautions now
taken. The operating rooms of former
days were nothing more than butcher
shops in appearance, and the condi-
tions were so nauseating that the sur
geons themselves could hardly stand
them. Now, however, all is changed,
and the rough system has been replace
ed by wonderfully precise and pains
taking one.
Some twenty-four hours before an
operation is to be performed the pa
tient is placed on a light diet. A hot
bath is given, and the part to be OPP
Grated on is shaved, and then scrub
bed with bichloride of mercury or a
similar powerful antiseptic, and often
green surgical soap is used. Next fol-
lows a bandage, over the surface of
the part, that excludes all air. Ten
hours or SO before the operation the
food is often stopped. The patient is
removed from the bed short while
before the surgeon is ready, and the
washing process gone over again, the
part being scrubbed with antiscptics
for an hour in some cases, where blood
poisoning is feared. Every part of the
body save that is be operated on is
wrapped in rolls Of linen, sterilized by
baking.
While the patient is being given eth

an antiseptic solution, unless he uses
white rubber gloves. The Instruments
lie in shallow dishes In antiseptlc solu-
lions, the whole often covered with
a sterilized towel, and these are hand
ed by the nurses and attendants as
needed, the surgeon hardly glancing
up. What blood may flow is sponged
by q nurse with sponge taken from
a sealed Jar, and as they are filled the
sponges are thrown in bucket of dis

FEW PEOPLE REALIZE
The Danger in That Common Dis.
ease. Catarrh.

Because catarrhal diseases are so
common and because catarrh is not
rapidly fatal, people too often over
look and neglect it until some incura-
BILE ailment develops as result of the
neglect.
The infiamed condition of the mem
brane of the nose and throat makes a
fertile soil for the germs of Pneumonia
and Consumption, in fact catarrhal
pneumonia and catarrhal consumption
are the most common forms of these
dreaded diseases which annually cause
more than one quarter of the deaths
in this country.
Remedies for catarrh are almost as
numerous as catarrh sufferers but very
few have any actual merit as a cure,
the only good derived being simply a
temporary relief.
There is, however, a very effective
remedy recently discovered which is
rapidly becoming famous for it's great
value in relieveng and permanently
curing all forms of catarrhal diseases,
whether located inu the head, throat,
lungs or stomach.
This new catarrh cure is principally
composed of a gum deived from the
Eucalyptus tree, and this gum pos
sesses extraordinary healing and anti
in the form of a loZenge or tablet
pleasant to the taste and so harmless
that !!ttle children take them with
safety and benefit
Eucalyptus oil and the bark are
sometimes used, but are not so conven-
lent nor so palatable as the gum.
Undoubtedly the best quality is found
in Stuarts Catsrrh Tablets which may
be found in any drug store and any
catarrh sufferer who has tried douches
inhalers and liquid medicines, will be
surprised at the rapid Improvement
after a few days use Of Stuart's Ca
tarrh Tablets which are composed OF
the gum of the Eucalyptus tree COM
bined with other antiseptics which de-
stroy the germs of catarrh in the blood
and expel the catarrhal poison from
the system.
DR.. Ramsdell in speaking of Catarrh
and its cure says: after many ex-
periments I have given up the idea
of curing catarrh by the use of in
halers, washes, salves or liquid medi-
cines. ] have always had the best re-
suits from Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
the red gum and other valuable anti
septics containt 4 in these tablets make
them, in my opinion, far superior to
any Of the numerous catarrh remedies
SO extensively duNel tlotAs AhV AdSN tHdl
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are sold in
drug stores, under protection of a
trademark, should not prejudice con-
scientious physicians against them be-
cause their undoubted merit and harm
less character make them a remedy
which every catarrh sufferer may use
with perfect safety and the prospect Of
a permanent cure.
For colds In the head. for coughs ca
tarrhal deafness and catarrh or the
stomach and liver. people who have
tried them say that Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets are q household necessity, -
