only theory which resisted analysis
was that of medical treatment, and
careful examination of different skulls
bearing similar marks with variations
sufhced to convince me that they were
caused by incisions or cauterizations
performed upon children or adults as
curative or preventive measures.
Quite by accident, I at this period
found several texts left by classical
surgeons of the middle ages, who rec
commended that in cases of convul-
sions, mania, epilepsy, cephalaigia,
etc., incisions and concentrations
should be made on the head, i. e., the
very operation to which had, on the
strength of my observations, attrib-
uted the sincipital marks. I was thus
able to establish the link between pre-
historic and modern surgery.
This custom still survives among
certain primitive races. DR.. Bertholon
of Tunis has informed me that the
Arabs cut or cauterize children in this
way to prevent certain diseases. DR..
Lehman Nitsche, curator of the An
thropological Museum of La Plata, has
sent to the Paris Anthropological So
ciety. texts relating to similar customs
still existing among the Guaches, the
primitive Inhabitants of the Great
Canaries.
with the ancients it seemed prob
able that these operations were per-
formed as a remedy against headaches,
nervous disorders, excess of humidity
in the brain, etc.
The teeth of the skulls surrounding
US seemed barred no longer in sardonic
smiles, but in agonized grimaces as
the vision of promiscuous and CHASTITY
operations for chills and what not was
evoked with serene professional calm
by DIR. Manouvrier..
1.-THE sincipital T, which was the
most frequent operation, was far SIM
pier than trepanning. 1t appears to
be caused by incisions or cauteriza-
lions on the periosteum or outer lining
of the bone from which the skull de-
rives it's thickness. Where the perios-
teum is cut, the skull stops thickening
while the development continues else
where, so that the scars appear very
bad, although the bone was not cut
through.
take this skull, for instance. The
patient was operated on several times,
SO that he must have had no trouble in
resisting the effects. He has the sin

ming to one side of it, and a cauteriza-
ton little farther away

Pins That Are Hard to Get.

A new chapter is about to be added
to the history of pins. The young
man who looks after his own ward
robe is going to write it. 1t will
treat of the very small pins used to
fasten ribbon and other things that
come put up in bolts
81 want some of those pins the worst
way" said the young man, "but can
not find any. I have been in every big
store in town and half the little ones
looking for them. "It has been a hope
less quest. They are not in the mar
ket. Where can I get them?' I ask
the clerk in desperation. They cam
not tell.
"sBut there are such things insist.
Somebody makes them. 1 have seen
them
so have T. the clerk admits, but
only in ribbon and skirt binding
According to that will have to buy
about twenty bolts of baby ribbon to
get as many small pins as I need.
That will make a pretty stir price to
pay for them, so, if anybody with a
little regard for a lone mans pocket
book will volunteer some information
on the subject I shall be eternally
obliged"

cleanliness, whereas in Paris the same
operations are generally fatal, though
all antiseptic precautions are taken.
The reason is that where the air is
pure and the life healthy, there are
few microbes, whereas these swarm
wherever humanity gathers together
in small space"
But why should such a horribly
painful operation be attempted"
I'VE have no way of knowing that.
Perhaps the reason was a wound in
the portion of the skull which the ire
panner removed, and which might
have caused cerebral disturbances.
Nowadays trepanning is resorted to
when a splinter of bone weighs on
the brain. Since they knew the oper-
alton in prehistoric times, they may
have known the reasons also. Never
theless, we are led to believe that
they trepanned too much. To-day
there is perhaps one case of trepan-
ming for a million men. Among skulls

There was simpler operation
which was far more frequent and

form and their position 1 named them
the sincipital t. and sought several

PREHISTORIC SKULLS SHOW EVIDENCE
OF SKILLED SURGERY


If there was one department of hui
man activity to which no one had
ever dreamed of applying the trite
adage that there's nothing new I'M
der the sum-" it was surely modern
surgery. Delicate operations on bone
and organ were held up as brilliant
examples of perfect progress, and the
awed world wondered But to-day, the
revelation has come that this, too, is
old and that surgery existed before
history began.
This remarkable discovery is due to
the researches of DIR. L. Manouvrier,
the most famous anthropologist in
France, who having observed and
studied unmistakab1e marks on pre-
historic skulls found in the region of
Paris, now boldly declares that the
great twentieth century surgeon is
merely treading in the wake of skilled
practitioners who, without anaesthet-
les or antiseptics, with blades of flint
instead of tempered steel, performed
three or four thousand years ago op-

my Strangest case?' said the Jer-

strangest case was the one that DIR.
Wheeler brought against old Gen.

property.

a case as I ever handled 1 decided it
