New Surgical Invention.

A philosophical apparatus, the in
vention of DR.. Charles H. Duncan, a
surgeon engineer, which was recently
given a practical and successful test
in New York, will, in addition to prov
ing a great benefit to medical science.
prove a relief to the suffering patient
who, as is now the case, is placed on
an operating table and subjected to
the gaze of hundreds of students who
attend the clinics throughout the city.
This apparatus, which will revolution
cording to learned medical men who
have witnessed its performance, will
be the means of doing away with the
dread felt by patients submitting to
operations of being exposed before
embryonic surgeons, students, and the
public in general. rs.sg n a.. 49,
The machine, by means of mirrors
and camera bellows, transports the
vivid scene in it's actual colorS and
proportions, life size, from the operat-
ing room to a huge screen in the am
phitheater where are gathered the
spectators, not one of whom actually
sets eyes on the patient, the nurses, or
the surgeons who are performing the
operation.
In addition to this, the patient is alb
solutely unaware that the operation is
under observation; no sound pene-
trates the operating chamber; danger
from septic poison brought in on the
clothes and shoes of the witnesses is
eliminated, and annoyance caused by
those going to and from their seats
is obviated.
Moreover. moving pictures of the
operation may be procured. Phono-
graphic records, too, of the accom-
panying lecture are made, thus obtain
ing for future use valuable instruction
for medical colleges all over the world.

TAXES.

Property, and not people is held for
taxes. However, from a per capita
comparison, state taxes-that is taxes
for state purposes-haved decreased in
stead of increased in the last nine
years. In 1890 the state tax, per cap
tia, was $1.37 In 1908 it was $1.33.
So then if your taxes are increased it
is for county, city, township and
school purposes. But then you should
not forget that everything has in
creased in price in the last ten years
and why not an advance in taxes ?
