The Hairpin In Surgery,

The hairpin as a surgical instrument
is treated quite seriously by a physi-
clan who, writing in a technical jour,
nal, names fifteen different ways in
which it may be used in an emergency
to ease pain or even to save life. For
example, it might serve as probe, as
a surgical needle, in place Of drain
age tube, to remove foreign bodies, to
compress a blood vessel or to close Il
wound.
"One hair of woman can draw more
than hundred pair of oxen," wrote
old James Howell almost three centu
