/ the brain was one performed not long
ago at Roosevelt Hospital by DIR. Albert

who is now connected with the New
York Hospital man living on Long
Island happen to scratch his forearm on
a silver in a fence. The scratch was
small and did not hurt at all, so the man
paid no attention to 1t. 1t did not amount
to scratch by kitten. About a week
later the mans jaws became a little stif
and he didn't feel well. so he went to see
doctor who watched awhile and came
to the conclusion that he was develop
ing lockjaw The man was hurried to
Roosevelt Hospital, where DR.. johnson
found him In a bad state. He was listed
as an acute case. Presently the mus
Giles of the whole body became affected,
although the patient remained conscious
and could talk, and later on the same
day he suffered from opisthotonos, or q
convulsion like that. resulting from.
strychnine poisoning. The condition Of
the man became so severe that he was
not expected to live. Simultaneous in
jections OF anti-toxin were given every lit
tie while during the night, and as there
was no Improvement the next day Dr.
Johnson decided to operate on the 5ratn
as a last resort.
With a bit fastened in a small brace,
like carpenters, a hole was bored on
the left side of the head at a definite
point above the ear and behind the eye.
The point is determined by drawing lines
across the skull to fix a part of the
brain where there are no motor cells
which control the muscular movements.
If the incision was made back OF this
particular point the wound would cause
paralysis. Having bored a hola through
the skull large enough to admit hypo-
dermic needle. DIR. Johnson injected slow
ly about half an ounce of anti-toxin
serum, taking five minutes for that part
Of the operation. Four hours later the
dose. was repeated. Meanwhile supcutan-
eous injections Of choral and bromide
were given. The dosing was continued
for a week. when the man was on the

HER INTUITION.
Why the Brown Eyed Girl FIirted

Girl with the Brown Eyes continued. "A

but 1t has yet to lose its terrors. These
doctors, who have been making a deep
study of the disease in the laboratory
and at the operating table, admit that al

Gates the rpyster of lockjaw. When the
disease may be discovered at the begin

be rare.
In the new treatment of tetanus the
surgeons have accomplished extraordi-
nary results. They have performed bet

said, is almost as baffling as the work.
ings of the cause of the disease. Curing
by the new kind of surgical operation has
not provided certain treatment for pre-
vention.
The new cure for lockjaw is to be
credited to two French surgeons, Roux
and Borel, who employed it first about
two years ago in Paris. 1t consists of
intracerebral injections of tetanus anti
toxin-that is, boring a hole in the for
ward part of the skull and with a hypo-
r,iermic syringe forcing into the mass OF
nerve fibres ten cubic centimeters. about
half an ounce, of the antidote solution,
repeating the dose every few hours. The
reason for treating the brain directly in
stead of by injections in to the skin OF
veins is to reach the nerves Immediately
and thoroughly, for 1t is the nerves and
not the muscles which are affected by the
deadly tetanus poison.
Within two years over fifty intracere-
bral operations have been performed in
France and in this country, resulting in
nineteen recoveries and thirty-three
deaths. In the majority of the cases the
anti-toxin was injected into the skin and
veins at the same time.

itism, and 1t safeguards, in operation
the interests of the three parties quail
flied under the law to name the elec-
ton officials, while promoting absolute
fairness in the casting and counting OF
the ballots.
Assemblyman Arnold's attitude IN
the matter Is purely partisan. 1t does
not enter seriously into the situation.
If the Populists polled the necessary
votes and are entitled under the law
to be represented in the conduct Of the
election machinery, 1t matters not
whether the men chosen to represent
the Populist organization are called
Democrats, Republicans or Populists.
1t is certainly no part Of the preroga-
tives Of Mr.. Arnold or of any other
member of the council to determine
whether the man put forward as q
Populist is that or something else.
The council may have in the past
abused the privilege Of naming through
it's several members those who should
represent the respective parties as
election officials; but the objection put
forward against the Populists In this
case Is in principle the same old one,
which Mr. Arnold may recall Of Prohibi-
ZIONIST election officials being appointed
who were, in conduct and sympathy,
really Republicans.
There is little or no chance of fraud
in the coming elections, either in the
primaries or otherwise, and the situa-
ton now existing is purely the product
of party political skirmishing, with
Assemblyman Arnold cast in command
as the representative of his party. The
Democratic majority in the assembly
should get together and agree with
their brethren in the board on the list
of judges. If the lists selected do not
suit Mr.. Arnold or his political friends
he and they will doubtless pursue any
remedy they believe to exist. If any
further time elapses before the selec-
tions are made and approved, some one
or more of the candidates should take
steps, to have the duty which the law
prescribes discharged at once.

MADE IMAGES ASK
NATIVES FOR MONEY.
Customs Dispute Over curios Brought
by the Eighth Regiment.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Sept. TO-
The officers of the Eighth United
States infantry who have arrived from
the Philippines, are at loggerheads
with the customs officials over the ad-
mission, duty free, of trunk full Of
trophies from the far east. All the ar
ticles were intended as a gift to the
museum of the United States military
academy at West Point, but they will
never reach their destination If the
treasury department tries to exact du-
ties from the officers of the Eighth.
Principal among the articles are two
religious images and the robes in
which they were draped. One of these
is an ebony figure of the Savior.
known in Southern Luzon as 'The
Black Christ" These images were
seized by the Eighth Infantry at the
headquarters of a native religious
sect in the town Of Pagsangan, Prov
ince of Laguna, while the regiment
was operating in that district. The
sect was known as the Caldrun, and
the images are said to have been used
by the insurgent leaders to exact war
revenues from the people of the dis
trict by imposing on their credulity.
A Filipino ventriloquist, 1T Is said
would apparently cause the image to
speak and order the natives to give
their money so the Americans might
be driven from the island. The carv-
ings appear to have been made within
the last two or three years.
