Hippocratic Era in Medicine.

Richard Cole Newton declares that
even in the early days of tie Hippo
cratic era the art of surgery eschewed
all forms Of superstition and philosoph-
zeal conjecture attaining practical re
suits by direct methods, says the Med
zeal Record. At very early age the
profession of medicine was fully recog-
nized in Greece and in many cases was
generously rewarded. We read of
swindlers and charlatans in those days.
too. Patent medicines were also sold.
The HippOcratic oath which for over
twenty centuries has remained practi-
cally unchanged is an evidence of the
sagacity, the sense of professional hon
or ana responsibility and the clear
thinking of the Greeks.
Hippocrates was born on the island
of Cos in AGO Il. c. \ large collection
of writings, evidently the work of many
physicians, whose identity is unknown,
has been ascribed to the pen of this
leader. The Greeks were wonderfully
brilliant in medical attachments, for
they studied nature and her methods
and shook themselves free from monu-
mental load of ignorance and supersti-
ton. The synchronous development of
mind and body was the fundamental
rule. both of health and education. The
writer reviews a number of interesting
works that were written by eminent
physicians of that day.

PoTTeD MEa- NOT PRESERVED.
Manufacturers' Association and sam
itary Iuspecfor SO Report.

tfary Inspector so REPORT
The following extracts from reports
Of the National Manufacturers Asso-
citation and Inspector Hedrick, Sanitary
inspector Of the City Of Chicago, refute
the sensational charges made against
the canned meat packers:
Our investigation of the Canned and
Potted Meat part of the packing industry
showed that the methods used make the
use of preservatives unnecessary, ana IN
dicated that no preservatives or artificial
coloring is now used by the Canned Meat
packer.
The meat is first partially cooked in
large kettles. then the fat and bone is
trimmed off and the meat packed into
tins. The air is then withdrawn with
vacuum pumps and the cans sealed in
vacuum. Next they are put into large
cookers, where the cooking process is fin
ished In the packing of some products
1t is necessary that the cans be reopened
and the steam allowed to escape, the vent
hole being Immediately resealed while the
goods are hot, so as TO retain the vacuum.
The entire process is quite similar to
that used by the family cook when putting
up fruits and vegetables, except that
meats are sealed in tin cans instead of
being put in glass jars. We found that
the solder in making the cans and in
sealing them is all placed on the outside
of the can and does not come in contact
with the contents.
We were informed that much of the
cause for complaint in canned meats was
because of the mistaken idea that the
goods would keep in perfect condition af-
ter they had been opened. This would
be the fact if they were preserved with
chemicals, but as they are only kept in
condition because of being sealed in vac
uum tins they spoil just as readily as
fresh meats do after they have been
opened and exposed to the air, hut will
keep indefinitely if the can is not pune
tured. 1t is also a well-known scien-
tiic fact that decaying meat generates
a gas which viii explode any package
which is Theoretically sealed.
Sanitary Inspector Hedrick submitted
to Commissioner Whalen his analysis of
conditions in the Libby, Mcneil & Libby
plant He found with reference to gen
eral conditions, that the floors, halls,
stairs, tables, ETC., are kept Clean" and
that the entire department-viewed from
our standpoint-was in a satisfactory con-
dition. All woTkrOoms are light, and have
good ventilation"
