OXYGEN TREATMENT.
An Irish Physician Discovers a New
Cure for Wounds ond Ulcers.


Cure for Wounds and Ulcers.
DIR. George Stoker, an Irish physician
in London, has discovered new method
Of treating wounds and ulcers. The rem
edy he employs Is oxygen.
AS is often the case with new inven-
tions, tn. discovery was an accident
When the doctor, who was chief Of the
Red Cross ambulance in the last Turkish
Russian war and Stafford House COM
missioner in the Zulu war, was in South
Africa, he noticed that the wounded
Zulus, when taken to the uplands where
the air was extremely pure and dry, re-
covered with surprising rapidity and
without surgical treatment. their wounds
not even being dressed. The experience
of the black men suggested to the Irish
surgeon the id, of exposing not only
ton of oxygen. During the past FIVE
years he has perfected MS new method Of
treatment and accomplished wonderful
results.
The place where the cures are being eff
fected is the Oxygen hospital, in Fitz-
patronage Of Princess Louise, Duchess Of
Argyll. The treatment is simple and
painless. The wounded or liberated sur
face is washed twice day and kept in
closed in a receptacle where oxygen, pure
or diluted, can be continuously applied to
it: Some of the patients nave caps
filed with oxygen which they wear day
legs inc!osed in india-rubber bags or
: boxes which are fed with oxygen from
receptacles PLACED near the cots.
The apparatus is adapted to the case,
and the oxygen is turned on and off
by tap once in five or six hours. Face
caps are fitted to the skin with adhesive
plaster and the oxygen is passed in by
means Of tubes.
T.: Some of the patients had not been free
from pain for many years until they en-
tered the hospital. The only unpleasant
sensation connected with the treatment
is a slight pricking pain which the, pa
tlent feels during the first half hour.
The doctor contends that besides the
vltalizing effects of the treatment, some
profound chemical change is effected in
the surface Of the wound by process Of
oxydizatio He claims that, as rule,
the cicatrices (scars) formed by ordinary
methods of healing do not last, and that
whenever strain is put on them, the
patients. after getting about, break down
AGAIN; The oxygen cicatrices, he states;
are like new, healthy skin, and when the
patients are once out OF the hospital, they
are permanently cured and do not return,
as the process OF mending is physiologi-
cally perfect
Nine out of ten of the patients are
cured. although many of the poor
wretches, some Of whom were afflicted
with loathsome diseases: had been pro-
nounced incurable. An Irish priest. who
had been suffering for thirteen years
from disease which a regular practi-
toner pronounced hopeless, was cured by
oxygen in three weeks
DR.. Stoker believes that with the prop
er mechanism and equipment he can cure
pulmonary. consumption. Constructive
patients who inhaled diluted oxygen from
bags for short intervals showed signs of
improvement.
