Surgery on Heart

surgical operations upon the heart have become
more or less OF commonplace in medical history
Something approximating 100 cases of the sewing
up OF heart wounds on record and the recov.
cries have been considerable when one considers
the highly dangerous character of such work Hith.
erto however heart surgery has been limited to ac
cident cases.
In recent issue of the annals of surgery one of
the workers at the Rockefeller institute for
medical research discusses the possibility of
treating diseased hearts surgically. He has made
numerous experiments on animals and believes
that such operations will be successfully performed
on human beings in the near future His tests
have convinced him that the heart can be opened
scraped out Cleaned so to speak) sewed nm and
started off on its beating" path again without anv
great, at least insuperable, difficulty by an in
genous system of side piping and new channeling
he is able temporarily to cut out of the circulation
portions of such important vessels as the descend
ing aorta the largest artery in the body without
killing the animal Among his suggested opera-
tons is one on the coronary arteries of the heart
for the cure of angina pectoris
This doctor has apparently proved to his own sat
isfaction on animals that successful surgical inter-
ference with the great vessels and the heart itself
is possibility. 1t is, of course long step from
these experiments to actual operations on human
beings but there is every indication that the latter
feat will be attempted In the near future The in
tractabity of cardiac affections and their high "a
tally make the proposed new surgery a thing Of
great general interest and may justify the extreme
holiness Of the proposal

Near the bridge of a battleship is the wireless
telegraph station which is of tie newer yet

OF messages with other ships and with shore sta

rather signaling systems. The most common of
these communicative systems is that whereby the
pressure of a button or lever at one station on

the movement OF certain lever on the bridge

The American navy has been the most sue

ton, which the world has ever That is a
pretty broad statement, but 1t is absolutely true
There are good reasons for this.
In the early days we were commercial people.
We natural sailormen. Our people lived
along the shores. They made their money In
commercial pursuits. The men who commanded
merchant ships were not only good sailors; they
good merchants and the foundations for
many Of the great fortunes of this country have
come from that source In order to protect them
selves they were obliged to go armed. Their
ships armed as were privateers in time of
war. The result is that they not only knew navi-
cation, but they knew gunnery, and combined
with these qualities the intelligence which makes
great merchants.
Naturally when those men came into positions
where they commanded men-ofwar. they were
equal to the occasion, although they had had
naval training. AS time went they acquired
naval training so that in the later wars, in the
early part of the nineteenth century. they met
every requirement, and in the recent wars the
graduates Of the Naval academy have been equal
to every duty which has been imposed upon
them. They have made a record of which every
American citizen should be proud
