ELECTRIC SLEEP IN SURGERY
Professor Leduc Says Hc Has Discov-
cred a Perfect Amaesthesia.

Professor Leduc Says Hc Has Discov-
cred Perfect Amacsthesia.
Stephane Leduc, the eminent pro-
fessor of the School OF Medicine ar
Nantes, France. has discovered a
method of causing electric sleep,
which, it is declared, will replace
chlorofCrm and other anaesthetics in
all surgical operations The discov-
cry proceeded from study OF the ef-
fects OF intermittent currents and
from the knowledge that the skull
and brain offer but little resistance
to the current.
For human being a current Of
thirty-fye volts is applied intermit-
tently in its full strength for minute
fractions of second. Two electrodes
arc applied to the skull in a special
manner, tho points of application be-
ing first carefully shaved.
Professor Leduc made scores OF
experim nts on dogs and on himself.
All wCr2 successful. The application
of the current on the head is not
dangerous, and no i'll effects follow,
even when the experiment lasts for
hours.
The Advantages of the electric sleep
are said to be numerous. Anaesthesia
by chloroform, morphine or ether is
disagreeable, always dangerous, and
has often proved fatal, while the
awakening is painful. During the
electric sleep the patient is perfectly
quiet and the awakening occurs "a
soon as the electrodes are withdrawn.
The sensations after the operation
arc quite agreeable. The mind APP

rapid, and there is sense of in

This last circumstance led Pro.
