RECORDS THE PULSE RATE
Instrument That Shows the Hearts
Action During Muscular Work
and After

A recent publication of the University
OF Michigan describes an instrument
for securing continuous graphic record
Of the pulse rate in man which afford
valuable indications OF the hearts
work. The records showed that the com
mencement of muscular work ~ fol-
lowed almost simultaneously by
marked acceleration of the pulse. In
fact, this modification of the pulse rate
is observed in the next heart cycle after
the work begins.
In typical cases there are three we'll
marked stages-a primary RISE period
of sustained acceleT alton and second
airy rise. Similar stages Of decrease IN
rate occur after the work stops. Tho
rapidity ct the pulse during work de-
ponds not OILY upon the amount of work
done, but much more upon the manner
In which it is done. Speed and resist-
ance are factors requiring separate COM
sideration and Of these two speed has
the greater influence
These records show that while mus
cular work may not appreciably require
the expenditure of bodily forces it im-
mediately reacts upon the heart and that
conversely cessation of muscular exerl
ton Is an immediate relief to the heart.

entered in the reports.
The plan now in operation is infinitely
better, the sick receive humane treat
ment, skilled attention. The canal
commission cares for them free or

the employ of the commission. The SAN

Strict precautions are being taken to
keep disease out of the zone; there is an
excellent quarantine system, and an inn,

alton of incoming laborers.

among non-employes as well as en-
ployes, the patient is at once hurried to

Down there on that narrow arch Of
land that keeps apart the waters of the
two great oceans, the doctors science is
to count equal with the engineers skill
In truth, the reason We entered with
such high heartedness upon the under
taking of digging the Unprotected
canal, was because of our present i'm
proved knowledge of sanitation, our
possession to-day of more effecutal
ounce of prevention. In the "a years
since hapless De Lesseps made his at
tempt at the isthmus, great discoveries
have been made tending to the preven>
ton of disease. and, as President Roose-
welt recently said in an address before
the Associated Physicians of Long
Island, the condition precedent upon
success in work on the canal is having
the proper type of medical work as pre-
liminary
President Roosevelt recalled to the
minds of his audience the good work
done in Cuba under American admins
tration and American doctors, and gave
a glimpse of the work now in progress
in the canal region. What is being
done in Panama is but sample of the
things this country has done the last
few years, of the thing in which your
profession has been so prominent part.
Take what we did in Cuba, where we
tried the experiment which had mot been
tried for 400 years, of cleaning the
cities One of the most important items
of the work done by our government in
Cuba was the work of hygiene, the work

PLAGUE IN THE SOUTH.


President Roosevelt, acting on the re-
quest of Gov. Blanchard, of Louisiana
and leading officials and citizens of New
Orleans, has directed Surgeon General
Wyman to take charge of the yellow
fever situation. A Mississippi quaran-
tined boat was captured by Louisiana
naval militia and officers and men ar

Owing to the strict quarantine
against New Orleans enforced by Lou
Isiana parishes, handling of mails is
being stopped and the federal govern
ment is expected to take control of
the yellow fever situation.
Yellow fever made greater gains at
New Orleans and invaded the section
above Canal street. Authorities admit
the disease will have to run it's course.

in New Orleans was broken, IL persons

so as to minimize the chance for yellow
fever, so as to do away with as many
as possible of the conditions that told
for disease"
Experience shows that the two dis
eases most dreaded at Panama are yell
low fever and malaria. Cleanlineses and
attention to hygiene have stamped out
the first disease in Cuba, and it is
thought that it can be successfully COM
batted on the isthmus, that more real
danger is to be dreaded there from ma
laria. Rainfall being very heavy, the
climate is unhealthful, malaria dis
ease that poisons the system and saps
the energy. But the sanitary officers
are using every effort to reduce the
dangers from this less-taled of but more
threatening malady.

Ger of the canal zone, in an article pub

the isthmus, we find, from reading OF
the experiences of our predecessors, that
the two principal diseases to be feared
are malaria and yellow fever; our
measures, therefore, have been directed
against these diseases The authorities
of the Panama republic placed the sani-

The loss of life during the French de
rection of the work was something
fearful, but Col. Gorgas justly remarks
that the Americans "a years ago prob
ably would have done no better He
bears this witness to the difficulties en-
countered by the French: In the
first place, no one knew at that time
how malaria or yellow fever was con-
veyed from one person to another; and
In the second place, the French were
building the canal just as we build
railroad in the United States. They
were private corporation and could not
control thesanitary arrangements along
their route-a matter which was entire-
ly in the hands of the Colombian gov
eminent"
The French records of death were
very misleading. The inaccuracies are
explained in this way, When they
were trying to build the canal, the
French had the work divided into sec
tions, and construction work let out by
sections. For every employe that went
to the hospital the contractors were
charged a dollar day. 1t happened.
