DOCTORS DISAGREE
ON USE OF ST0VA|NE
Prof. Jonnesco Declares His Demon
STATIONS In London Were Sue
cessful and Convincing.

| LONDON, Dec. Thomas Jonnes-
co. head OF the Medical Department
OF the University OF bucharest, who
has been demonstrating successfully
here the use OF stovaine as an an
aesthetic, sailed for New York on n
brief visit at the invitation OF a nuIn-
/ Der of medical friends in America
While there he will demonstrate his
method OF the use of stovaine in con.
junction with strychnine.
IL didn't invent stovaine," said Dr.
Jonnesco before his departure from
London. but | have discovered the
miraculous powers OF strychina added
TO stovaine as an absolutely harmless
and thoroughly efficient anaesthetic, y
DR.. Jonnesco showed number of
photographs OF patients going through
surgical operations-men and women
OF all ages-and all of these patients
were smiling There was a series of
! photographs OF a boy OF S whose
brains had to be explored.
This lad" the professor comment
ed, was talking TO me all the time
| was operating on him. AS you see
his eyes were bandaged. and he knew
SO little that | was busy upon his
brain that he kept asking when
4 would begin the operation, for he was
anxious TO receive silver coin which
| | had promised to give him afterward
1T has come TO stay" added Prof
! Jonnesco. I'm many European coun'
tries its marvellous properties are fully
recognized, and | am glad that during
my short stay in London. so conserva-
tive in everything. | succeeded in CON
vincing many OF the leading medical
and scientific authorities The posi-
bilities Of the new anaesthetic are OBJ
viously boundless."
The Lancet this week gives a techni-
cal description of Prof. Jonnesco's
demonstrations which, II says were
attended with "a comparative want
OF success" One case was almost
perfectly successful, but in the second
l-laparotomy for gastric carcinoma
there was n straining expiration which
interfered with the surgeons manlp-
ulations 10 an undesirable extent. In
the third case a high injection was
made in order 10 procure anaesthesia
for a mastoid operation. After two
injections, although the skin was per-
fectly -analgesic. there was so much
agitation on the part of the patient
when the periosteum was dealt with
that chloroform was resorted to, and
the operation was performed under
It's influence.
In conclusion The Lancet SAYS that
Prof. Jonnesco lays great stress on
the Importance OF not sterilizlng
stovaine itself The chemists who pre-
narad tho sovaine for this occasion
declare that IL was not sterilized. It's
behavior, however. suggested TO some
that I'm reality there had, perhaps,
been mistake In this respect, and
that to this the want Of complete
success in the demonstration may
have been due
