DARK AGES BRING
LIGHT TO DOCTORS.
Surgeons Now Using an Anes-
thetic Employed Long Be-
fore Chloroform.

Philadelphia, Nov. 3.-Surgeons have
been going back to the dark ages, ac-
cording to reports read before the
County Medical society, for an anes-
thetic to take the place of ether and
chloroform.
This method consists in the use of
the narcotic called scopolamine or hyo-
seine, to render patients insensible to
the pain of the knife.
DR.. Wayne Babcock, in his paper,
said the new method was merely the
revival of an art. Ancient surgeons
produced insensibility to pain in their
patients, he said, by the administra
tion of mandragoria, which was a
narcotic substantially the same as SEQ
pOlamine.
DR.. Babcock said that for a period
Of more than a month this drug has
been used for all surgical work in the
Samaritan hospital. In that time thir-
ty-two operations were performed. OF
these, three were absolutely quiet under.
the operation, nineteen showed slight
muscular redexion and five were vio-
lently active SO as to interfere with
the progress of the operation. Three
Of the patients died, but none Of the
three deaths was by the scopolamine.
of scopolamine has been proved as an
form, but it cannot entirely supplant
anesthetics. This is because some pa
| tients are not Influenced sufficiently by
| the narcotic. -
The advantages Of scopolamine are
that it is more easily administered, it
prevents mental excitement and does
not cause nausea or other i'll effects
that frequently accompany the use OF
anesthetics.
DR.. Alfred @. Wood, who read pa
per on General Anesthesia, with Spe-
] cial Reference to Scopolamine-Mor.
phine," said that his results were in
the main about the same as those of
DR.. Babcock.
He has had fifteen operations in
which scopolamine was used. Of these
eight were wholly successful, four were
partially successful, and three were fail
ures. Where scopo1amine produced per
feet narcosis, as it did in majority
of cases, he found the operating condi
tions much better than when ether OF
chloroform are used. One Of its great
advantages, he said, is that patient:
never remember the operation, nor dc
they feel the pain even when partly
conscious. -.
DR.. H. C. Wood, Jr., said he believed
that the morphine caused the narcosis
instead of the scopolamine, and doubt
ed the value of the drug.
