 There are two other personalities in Rev MT Georges last article which blame no one else for them.

New Discovery in Anaesth-sia.

New Discovery in Anaesthesia.
About a year ago DR.. J.. Meltxer. of
New York, made discovery which
is beginning to attract considerable
attention in the medical world. 1t
has been almost ten years since sur
geons found that by injecting cocaine
in the lower spinal cavity that the
neither half Of the body conld be de-
prived of all sensation so that opera
tlcns might he carried on in those
parts while the body above the belt
remained fully conscious. Cocaine was
thus successful for some time, and
then 1t was discovered that the in
jections had their dangers and inluri-
GUS after effects. Varieties of cocaine
were experimented with. but they
also proved to lie treacherous.
1t was then that DR.. Meltzer made
his discovery that a solution of com
mon EPSON salts obtained the same
results Of depriving the lower half of
the body Of sensation II injected into
the spinal cnvity. After conducting
a series of careful experiments On
monkeys and dogs. DIR. Meltzer used
It on human subjects in the Harlem
Hospital. and seven cases Of it's APP
plicatiOn have recently been publi- h
ed. In all 1t was partly or entirely
successful. Partly successful In those
cases where too small doses were
form completed the anaesthesia. A
Is per cent solution of the salts was
used. and it Was nscertained that
about fifteen grains to twenty-five
pounds weight of body were neces-
sary. 1t was also found that IL took
some time. two or three hours, for
loss of sensation to come on. and
that this Increased and lasted from
twelve to sixteen hours; after that
time the patient became perfectly
normal.
With cocaine the loss of scnsa ton
WAS almost immediate. but 1t rarely
lasted over an hour and a half. After
each operation DIR. Meltzer washed
the remaining EPSON salts solution
out Of the spinal cavity by the injec-
ton of normal salt solution, and he

NEW YORK, November s, 1906
A low dinner dress of some sort is es-
sential to every smart wardrobe, and this
elegance. which England set the pace for,
is now almost obligatory for even the SIM
plest family dinner Expense may play
no great part in the costume, but the neck
is barred. sleeves are short and the skirts
train with that look of indoor ease and
luxury so becoming to fair woman. With
these qualifications colors are also deli
cate: faint blues, pinks, green's, grays and
white having precedence over more glaring
tones: while heads are dressed deliberately
with flowers, bows and fancy combs, and
shoes are ball-like and trinkets charming.
Looking at the low dinner dress merely
from the point of politeness, it is mar
velous what smart evening finery does
for breeding. Fine feathers not alone make
the outer bird fine; subtle something is
communicated to the heart, and in mo-
ment manners are Sweeter and a gala
spirit pervades the feast. Then the men
of the house adore seeing their woman
folks dressed-especially for them, as 1t
special dinner dress. what is? AS one
hard-worked husband and father put it,
lit makes n man forget the world to come
home and find his women pretty.
For all the little festivals which autumn
inaugurates. the shops put forth in good
season many pretty little frocks, which
range from SIS upward The alterations
needed upon these are in many cases slight
and as the last note of fashion is always
expressed, it often happens that the ready
made dinner frock is more feasible than the
one made to order. The same little toilet

French frocks with long flowing skirts

Satin and Silk.
In point of durable and effective mate

look necessary for any smart after occa-

With the good things of Thanksgiving
in preparation comes the need of specially
