already been started by the present ad-

improvements contemplated and under

per cent within two years.

am concerned, IT will be a progressive
and business one. In my message TO

Dr. Samuel j. Meitzer of f07 West One
Hundred and Twenty second street who
with several other physicians has been
engaged in extensive Experimentation IN
the Rockefeller institute IN the past
eight months with magnesium sulphate,
OF EPSON salts, read a paper last Thurs
day night before the Academy Of Medi-
cine dealing with the substance in re-
gard to its uses as an anaesthetic when
injected into the spinal cord. He report
ed a case OF tetanus that had actually
been cured as result OF the injection.
The paper created sensation. and it
Will be published soon in leading med
zeal journal. it is expected that at the
meeting of the Society of Surgeons which
Is to be held this week the discoveries or
Dr. Neither will be discussed in detail as
they were Thursday night AT the acad-
envy.
There are four inorganic constituents
of the human body. They. are sodium,
potassium, calcium and magnesium. The
effects OF the first three have been in
Vestigated very thoroughly. Within the
last three or four years a number OF
scientific workers have been devoting
much time 10 the effects OF the last con-
st.tuent when artificlally introduced into
the human body. Investigation along
that line brought out many new facts
Ttletive 70 magnesium which have been
published. The announcement OF De-.
Meltzer's discovery that magnesium sui
phate is an anaesthetic is altogether new
u the medical profession.
& -
It was an American, DR.. J. Leonard
Corning, of IS West Thirty-eighth street.
who discovered spinal anaesthesia, about
which a small library OF books and
treat ises has been written. 1t is now
an American, at least by long residence
and sympathies, who has carried that
discovery a long step ahead IN the opln-
ion of physicians.
DIR. Meltzer is a graduate OF the Uni
Versity of Berlin. He is attending ply
cfe IN Harlem nOGnIT9A \
large private practice. In his present
research work he mas been assisted by
Dr. John Auer and others.
Having long watched the effect Of sui
pLate Of magne5la On small biological
specimens, DIR. MeltZer saw the pOssibll-
ties of it as an anaesthetic. 1t was in
jeCted into all sorts of animals, the eff
fects being carefully noted under all cir
cEmstances. Then ii was tried on the
animals nearest to man, several monkeys
effects were very marked
1t had been a theory that sulphate OF
1egnesia, when introduced into the
body, had a tendency to produce convul-
practice 20 have the opposite effect. The
substance was introduced very cautious
~ into the body in increasing quantities.
Anaesthesia was produced, DR.. Meltzer
SAID, with no harmful effects.

One or two surgeons tried the new
anaesthetic on patients and reported Ia
yorably. In one case an additional dis
coVery was made at Roosevelt hospital,
where DIR. Joseph A. Blake, one of the
visiting surgeons. became interested II

PLAIN EPSON SALTS A SPINAL AnAEsTHEIIc
important Discovery Announced at the Academy Medicine

the only case Of tetanus so far reported
IN which the Injection was used. The
indications are, physicians say, that this
treatment may prove an actual spectre
for tetanus. The disease has long been
in the incurable list.
DR. MeltZer and those who are working
with him have by no means finished tbeir
experiments with magnesium sulphate as
an anaesthetic. DR.. MeltZer pointed out
yesterday that the discovery is only in
its experimental stage as yet. and that it
would not DO TO catalogue possible advan-
tages OF the salts over cocaine and other
substances injected 10 produce anaeS-
thesia. He believed however, that what
had been 50 far proved should be known
10 the profession. He spoke warning
word against the injection of the sub
stance BY Impractical hands just now.
n + II
The value OF magnesium sulphate as an
anaesthetic is intimately associated with
the value of spinal anaesthesfa. the DIS
coVery OF which made q Sensa ton in the
medical world. Spinal anaesthesia is In
tied, in that il affects the parts below the
seat OF the injection, and only u-cle
above, as a rule, although there are Jew
cases where complete anacsthesla has
been produced.
Spinal anaesthesia is useful il tho pa
tient is curious 10 see his leg cut off
without feeling It. 1t IS also useful where
the patient has weak heart OF where,
for anv reason, the ordinary anaestnetics
are cOntra-indicated.
Il am very glad 10 hear Of this paper
you speak of" said DR.. Corning last
night at his home. The great fault with
all remedies heretofore employed for spi-
nal anaesthesia. lies in the fact that they
depress, TO a certain degree, the natural
functions, particularly the cardiac aud
respiratory functions. Fatalities have oc-
casiOnallY resulted from these untOWard
effects However. these structures apply
not only to spinal but to general anaes-
thetics, particularly to chlOrofOrm and
ether. from the administration of which
a considerable number Of fatalities occur
every year. The number of deaths re-
Suiting from general anaesthetics would
seem pretty large, We're all such cases
promptly recorded in medical literature
IF ii shall be shown that magnesium
sulphate In sufficient quantities 10 pro-
duce anaesthesia can be injected into the
spinal canal without causing depression
of the cardiac and respiratory function
considerable advance viii have been
made. 1t must not be forgotten. however.
that a long time ago Hay. Recke, and
Curie demonstrated that when magnesium
sulphate was injected into a Vein poison
Gus symptoms sometimes ensued pROmi-
nent among which were the cardiac and
respiratory depression Of which l have

If this discovery by DR.. MeltZer adj
vances the use of spinal andesthesia. ply
sicians say, it viii have done valuable
service.
