for saving time. In the operating room
In the old days there was always, no
matter what the operation, a good sized
table laid out with ten or fifteen score
of instruments, fifty artery clamps,
scissors, forceps and lancets by the
dozen. 1t used TO take over an hour to
remove an appendix; today the average
is about twelve minutes.
The variety of instruments increases
every year as surgeons meet with new
needs or solve old problems. In our
school here, as in others, many instru-
ments have been devised. Especially
to those having TO do with the eye, ear,
nose and throat have we made valua-
bic additions as well as in the field of
o%rthopedic appliances. The Hippocrat-
lc oath %precludes the %patenting of any
such inventions; consequently all in
struments are free to be made by all
and every surgical manufactory."
The making of surgical instruments
IN the United States Is nearly contem-
poraneous with the beginning of the

nent firms today date from long before
the civil war. In no country are finer
instruments made than in the United
States. Though the number of men
employed is small, every man is a
skilled laborer and an artist, with an
adroitness often as fine as that of a
journeyman jeweler, capable of max
ing even the most delicate of the great
variety of instruments, amounting to
about 10000, which a surgical house
must keep in stock or be ready to pro-
duce upon order.
Cast ami drop forged instruments
have no lasting value, and once the
edge is worn off they can never be sat
isfactorily resharpened. The process
which they undergo demands that they
be brought three times to Il white
heat. The first time the steel becomes
tempered; the second and third time it
becomes decarbonized and loses Its
temper, the result being an instru-
ment with a shell of hard steel, capa-
Bile Of taking a fair edge, but beneath
which the metal Is soft and unfit to
stand honing.
"All good instruments are hand
forged. Thus prices are doubled and
trebled over the prices of cast instru-
ments because of the skilled labor and
time necessary to their construction.

must make a study of his work and
learn the physical qualities Of the

tiles. General operating instruments
are made Of steel, silver, platinum,
gold and aluminium. German steel,
owing to its tenacity, Is used for for
ceps and blunt instruments; English
cast steel for edged tools, as 1t receives
a high temper, a fine polish and re-
tains its edge. Silver when pure Is
very flexible and is useful for cathe-
tiers, which require frequent change Of
curve. When mixed with other metals,
as coin silver, 1t makes firm catheters,
caustic holders and cannulated work.

How adroitly he had sown the seed!
At that period he had no positive idea

far-sighted men take. and then
waited. There was little he had not
learned about this handsome American

patience which is making Russia so
formidable. waited for this opportu-

the girl, he rather shrank from the

plan which finally came to him he re-

he surrendered. To get the parent III
