over the center of the river again

nlnodless surgery Posslble.

DR.. Jokichi Takamine, Japanese,
claims to have discovered the POSSIBLE
itv Of bloodless surgery through the
medium of chemical composition
called adrenalin. By the local applica-
tion of adrenalin, in solution, opera
tions may be performed, it is said, on
the nose, ear and eye without the spill
ing of a crop of blood. Thus has it
been demonstrated that the discovery
is the most powerful medicine known,
and at the same time it might be said
the most expensive. At present it costs
4 shillings a grain. or s1,400 a pound.
