SURGEONS MASKS.
New Method of Protecting Wounds
from Infection.

New Method of Protecting Wounds
from Infection.
Several tests of what is known as
the surgeons mask, an article intend
ed to give freedom from the danger Of
wound infection, have recently taken
place abroad, and the results are said
are said to have been most gratifying.
AS far as known, these masks have
not as yet been used in this city, or
even on this side of the Atlantic, but
If the mask provides as much addi'
tional protection to a subject as is
claimed it will undoubtedly soon play
an important part in every opera
tion. In the general move for perfec-
ton in antiseptics, in which such
great steps have been taken in the
last 10 or Is years, the danger of
causing infection during an operation
has been greatly minimized. To those
who have studied the subject carefully
a prominent obstacle to this end has
been the danger from the breath Of
the surgeon and his assistant. In the
hospitals of Baltimore, as elsewhere,
the instruments used are carefully
washed in antiseptic solutions and the
gowns worn by the surgeon his as
sistants and the students present are
all sterilized, but in spite of these and
other precautions infection does fig
ure to quite large extent.
The new mask now being expert
mented 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 in.
tended to prevent the spread of germs
and consequent wound poisoning.
Some time ago many surgeons came
to the conclusion that boards were
fruitful sources of infection, and many
now shave closely or trim their
boards quite short, and, in addition
take pains to disinfect them before
entering the operating arena. In re
gard TO the breath it has been claimed
that the presence of many students
in the operating room adds to the
danger. Movements along this line
may yet end in curtailing the mum
er of students and spectators IL

the students behind a plate glass par
tition has been tried ana is said tt

menace TO the whole railroad system.
So many accidents have happened
through the Negligence Of switchmen
that the railroads are becoming
stricter every year with this class of
employees. Some roads have promul-
gated orders which absolutely rule
out Of the service any man who drinks
at all. and switchmen in particular
have to give their pledge that they DO
| not touch liquor in any form. In
the opinion of the railroad managers
this seems to be the only absolute
way Of obtaining the services OF men
who can be depended upon to bring
a clear mind to their work daily.
Meanwhile the grade and pay of the
men are being raised, and better work
