SURGERY FOR BRIeHT's DISEASE.

In the progress or surgery remedies
have been found for many bodily ills
which yield to no medical treatment
thus far discovered. Appendicitis is
one familiar example And now a
successful surgical operation for
Bright's disease is reported from the
French hospital in New York. The pa
tient, woman, is reported doing
well. Rear Admiral Suszuki, surgeon
general of the Japanese navy, travelled
all the way from Japan to New York
to witness the operation.
This feat of surgery is known as
Edebohl's operation for the relief of
Bright's disease, and has never been
performed outside of this country. The
surgeon who first attempted it claims
he has effected several radical cures
of the disease, but the operation is so
dangerous that as yet few surgeons
have dared to resort TO it. The opera
ton in New York was especially Sc
we're, as both kidneys were stripped OF
their capsules at the same time to re-
store the natural blood supply to the
degenerating tissues. The operation is
unique, in that the disease itself is not
attacked, but it's remote cause de-
stroyed. The operation consisted of
making a deep incision over the kid
neyof the patient and the actual re-
moval Of the organ, while the capsule
that entirely covered it was cut away.
II was then mt hack in its place, and
before the patient recovered from the
anaesthetic the operation was repeat
ed on the other kidney.
Desperate cases require desperate
remedies. The physicians have
proved to the satisfaction of the pub
lie that they have no reliable and per-
manent remedy for Bright's disease.
If the surgeons can cure it with the
knife let them be welcomed.
