Philadelphia, Sept. 22.--Dr. orville
Horwitz, the leading surgeon con-
nected with St. Agnes hospital, is
making n series of tests and exeri-
ments with scopolamine, a new an
aesthetic, which promises to displace
ether, chloroform and all other an
aesthetics in general use by surgeons
all over the world. Scopolamine is
comparatively new drug, although
it has been used in Germany for some
time in internal medicines. 1t is an
alkaloid and possesses qualities which
make it an ideal medium for produc-
ing general or local anaesthesia. Only
one-thirty-second of a grain is re-
quired to produce complete anaes-
thesia in the whole body.
At first it was feared that the drug
would not be effective enough to
stand the test of exceedingly painful
operations, but at a recent tumor
operation, in which DR.. HorwitZ used
scopolamine as an anaesthetic, be-
cause the patient would not have sur
vived the application of ether or
chloroform, the drug stood the severe
knife, one of the most painful oper-
atoms known to surgery. During the
entire operation the patient did not
show the slightest twitch. although
the white hot knife cut into his tis-
sues.
One hour after the operation he
awoke perfectly fresh and without
the least indication of nausea or any
of the unpleasant after affects which
make ether or chloroform so objec-
tionable in many cases. Since then
DR.. Horwitz has used the wonderful
drug in a number of other opera
tions and in every case the success
was beyond all expectation. He will
continue the tests for some time be-
fore he shall report the result of his
investigations to the medical profes.
sion in general. The new anaesthetiC
is dissolved and administered by ny.
podermic injection.

/, of this year, all patent medicines
containing a considerable percentage
of alcohol would be classed as spirit
uous liqquor and would be subject to
the rules and regulations applicable
to spirits under the internal revenue
laws
Under the new ruling all COM
pounds going under the name of
medicines, that are composed chiefly
of distilled spirits without the addi-
tion of drugs or medicines in suffic-
lent quantities to change the charac-
ter of the whiskey or alcohol mater
tally or giving it decided medicinal
properties. are to be considered as
distilled spirits and treated according
ly. The manufacturers of such COM
pounds will be compelled to pay the
regular special tax for compounding
spirits and all druggists and other
| dealers selling such medicines will be
required to obtain special licenses for
the sale of liquors.
The recent ruling of Commissioner
Yerkes, which reverses a former rul-
| ing of the internal revenue depart
ment has caused great CONSERVATION
in certain quarters. 1t has been as
certained that enormous quantities OF
certain compounds, advertised as pat
ent medicines for certain diseases
have been consumed in the prohibition
districts of various states and on In
dian reservations, where the prohibit
tion laws are strictly enforced.
1t is charged that these strongly
alcoholic preparations are responsi-
| BILE for the terrific increase of drunk
/ enness in those districts. Under the
new regulation it will be impossible
to obtain these preparations from
dealers, as the sale of spirituou:
liuuors is not permitted.

with the different acids Of the body,
forms uric acid to be absorbed by the

FALSE ALARM CAUSES
INJURY TO LAB0RER
Fire Engine Runs Over Man at Main

Scores Mischief Maker

As fire engine company No.
dashed across Main street on First on
it's way to answer call from box 38
at First and San Pedro Charles Pear
son, laborer living on South Park
avenue, attempted to cross the street.
The rapidly moving engine struck the
man and hurled him to one side. rem
dering him unconscious and inflicting
a wound in the back of his head beside
many severe bruises on his body. For
tunately the wheels of the five-ton en-
gne missed the PROSTATE body of the
man, or he would have been crushed to
death. He was taken to the receiving
hospital and the surgeons say he will
recover.
The alarm which No. 3 was answer
ing proved to be false, but the individ-
ual who turned it in came near causing
a tragedy.
one turning in false alarm should be
so severely punished that they would
have no desire to do such a thing
again, and then they would be exam
pies to warn others.
Whoever turned in the alarm from
box 3S not only caused expense to the
city but came near being the cause of
this mans death"

OFFICER AVENGED ON MASHER
Wife Insulted, Husband Arrests the
Offender

AS Officer Bartlett was walking up
Broadway with his wife early last
night he left her on the west side of
the Street while he went across to the
other side to make sure that all the
doors in the block were fastened. Mrs.
Bartlett kept pace with her husband
and stopped now and then to look into
the windows. AS she neared Second
street Louis Golfingle stepped up and
took her arm and spoke to her. Mrs.
Bartlett broke away from the fellow,
but he followed; then she started
across the street to meet her husband.
Bartlett had seen what had hap
pened. however. and had Golfingle by
the collar almost before the "masher''
had seen him. Had not Bartlett been
an officer it would have gone hard
with the man who had insulted his
wife, but as it was the policeman had
to restrain his feelings.
The sturdy young German attempted
to get away, however, and when he
was held firmly he tried to fight the
officer off. Bartlett was not in the best
humor, and judging by the meek ex-
preston on the broad-shouldered
Saxon's face when he reached the sta
ton, the officer had handled him none
too gently.
A complaint of disturbing the peace
will be sworn out against Golfingle
this morning, and the police hope to
give him such punishment as will dis
courage "mashing" on the streets in
the future.

pletely upset the plans for the journey OF

A phenomenal fog compelled the Dolphin
and the Mayflower, with their escortlng

monies planned by the state authorities and

the arrangements for carrying the ENJOYS

better for all concerned that the Russians
should follow the plan drawn up under the
instructions of the President.
M. White, however, absolutely refused to
go the whole way by sea. He had had quite
enough of the ocean on the voyage from
Cherbourg to New York. As a compromise
he said he would be willing to come as far
as Newport on the Mayfiower.
This was the plan ultimately agreed upon
