SURGERY FOR TUBERCULOSIS.

The cure OF tuberculosis by means
OF surgery is a prospect suggested
by an operation just performed ex-
perimentally by a German scientist
at the Rockefeller Institute for
Medical Research. The first reauis-
tie for the experiment was a large
glass case. in fact, a room of glass
which was converted practically
into vacuum. A perfectly sound
dog was used in the operation. Hav-
ing been put under the influence OF
ether. the dog was placed in the
case with his head protruding into
the outer air through an opening
which fitted his neck with alright
closeness. The reason for perform
ing the experiment in this alright
compartment is that the pressure
or the air externally upon the dogs
lungs when they were exposed by
the knife would cause them to CAL
lapse. BY the arrangement adopted
the subject was enabled to breathe
freely and yet the almost complete
vacuum eliminated the danger OF
the collapse. The small quantity OF
air left in the case supported the
operator. Now, after everything
was ready, the surgeon, having
opened the chest and laid bare the
lungs, cut out a small piece OF a
lung and sewed up the organ The
operation was pronounced eminent
ly successful.
Ii was the purpose OF the expert
ment to test the idea OF cutting
| away the affected part of the hui
man lung affected with tuberculosis.
Whether surgery will ever reach
that advanced point in practice can
not yet be foretold, despite the
demonstration at the Rockefeller
institute; however, the fact that II
has gone so far as to experiment
opens up the possibility. So many
strides has surgery made in recent
years. 1t seems that the age OF mira
cles is about to return. Probably It
were truer and fairer to speak thus
of the whole field OF medicine, for It
Is not only surgery that has adj
vanced, as the anti-toxin in diphth-
eria and the serum in meningitis

POLITICS AND THE MARKET.

We have all heard that old po-
litical gag which capital trots out
before every presidential election.
about the weakening Of the market
on the strength of probable Demo-
cratic victory. For genuine asinin-
ity' transport us to Wall street
where it is exhibited every day of
the week, and every hour of the day.
Already the market is weakening"
on the strength OF the probable
nomination of Mr.. Bryan" and it is
quite evident that Mr.. Bryan is CIV

great fight. If the alarm sent out by
Henry Clews Is not a false one. In
his weekly trade sheet he says:
I'm anticipation of Mr.. Taft's
nomination for the presidency, the
stock market underwent a consider

announcement of the event prices.
as usual, reacted; early buyers hav-
ing taken profits and left the mar
ket with inadequate support. With
the Denver convention close at hand
and the probabilities of Mr.. Bryan's
nomination daily strengthening.
there is more or less shrinking in
values, and the market is discount
ing his nomination by a display of
weakness, much in the same fashion
that it anticipated Mr.. Taft's nom
ination by a show of strength. More
over. all persons are not equally
confident OF Mr.. Tafts election in
November next. A goodly number
consider the outlook still doubtful
and act upon their convictions; and
while they may be in error they
are sufficiently strong numerically
to give the political situation a mod
crate degree of uncertainty. which
may be expected to last until the
final outcome in November next.
The platform soon to be announced
from Denver is expected to be more
or less radical and disturbing.
