SToVAINE USED
VERY SUCCESSFULLY
Patient Talked With Doctor and
Nurse While His Spine Was
Being Cut Into.

SAINT PAUL, Mimi, Dec. 22-For
the first time in the medical history
Of Saint Paul and the Northwest,
stovaine, the new spinal or regional
anaesthetic has been successfully used,
by DR.. F. j, Plondke, a listed by Dr..
George Lemke, at a local hospital
The patient, sixty-five years old. was
perfectly conscious and conversed
freely, at times jocularly, with the
physicians and nurses while the oper-
alton was in progress. He submitted
10 what is usually considered severe
operation and one which heretofore
has been performed under chloroform
Or ether. An examination Of his heart
showed that the administration of
tended by serious risk, so it was de-
cided to make use of the comparative
L. new drug.
The patient was given about a pint
of normal saline solution, distilled
water and salt, to stimulate heart act
ion. Before this was administered the
heart registered only about forty-eight
to the minute, but went up to eighty
or more and remained there through
out the operation.
About fve-sixths of a grain of stow
aine was introduced into the spinal
canal in the form OF ten percent
solution in normal salt and alcohol a
similar amount OF the spinal fluid hav-
ing prev ously been withdrawn as a
rrecaution against the severe head
ache which sometimes follows the use
of the drug.
The introduction of the agent was
practically without pain. Anaesthesia
followed in about ten minutes, and the
patient was ready for the operation,
no morphine or other medicine being
administered
The operation proper occupied only
about twenty minutes, although the
dressings which followed required
| more time. Following the operation
| the patient was placed in bed where
he said that he never felt better and
that he was hungry. He was given a
| light lunch which he retained, showing
no disturbance of the stomach. -Four
hours after the operation the nurse in
charge of the patient reported that he
was feeling excellently, that he had
retained his nourisb,nent and that the
paralysis Of the lower limbs had pass
ed away.
