Woman Surgeon Amputates
Frozen Toes Without Caus=

HARTFORD. Conn, Jan. 25.--For the
first time in history electricity was
used as an anesthetic In a surgical OPP
Grafton here today. 1t was used under
the direction of DIR. Louise Rabinovitch
of Paris and she is highly elated over
the success of the operation. The pa
tient was a man whose toes were frozen
as result of exposure in recent
storm and he had been in the hospital
several days.
1t was known that it would be neces-
sary to amputate the toes of both feet.
but the patient did not want to take
ether. Doctor Rabinovitch suggested
electricity as an anesthetic and the pa
tient agreed. To each leg just below
the knee were placed straps attached
to wires connecting with a battery.
Electricity was turned on and it
numbed the legs below the knees. much
as cocaine would do. The toes were
amputated and the patient was soon
released. He said that he had notSfelt
the slightest pain during the cutting
and he did not know that the surgeons
were operating.
Doctor Rabinovitch predicts great
things from the discovery.

T EAPING from terrace TO terrace
4 along the invisible air lanes over
- Tanforan and San Bruno yester-
day, Louis Paulhan, the French avia-
tor, rose into the sullen storm clouds,
in the face of bitter wind, and flew
out of the ken of the 1900 or 10000
in the grand stand and the aviation
field. He was away on an uncharted
journey to the southwest, off toward
FL Cerrito
Throngs Watch Aviator
Every head was turned toward the
direction in which he had disappeared.
The humors of the inadequate sheriff's
posse were forgotten in the universal
curiosity over the birdman's southern
fight. No one would have blamed
Paulhan much if, like his compeers
of the air. the robins. he had contin-
the magnolia scented southland. His
ability to get out of the cold was en-
We'd rather than begrudged
But when five minutes had elapsed
there was speck on the sky. rapidly
charging and growing more definite.
The birdman was returning over the
eucalyptus. out of the storm cloud
which he must nearly have penetrated
Biplane Seen Returning
Then the familiar parts of the Far
man biplane shaped themselves. The
elevator plane in front. the gray clad
man with his alert hands on the levers
and his quick feet on the rudder con-
troll. the true movement of the balanc-
ing planes and the dip of the rudder
planes. all took their true shape.
A tremendous shout broke from the
throng.
PauIhan and his Farman sailed and
scared over the dark. misty trees. He
circled toward the middle of the field
and dipped the elevator plane. The
machine slid down an air chute. the
propeller blades slowed down and the
great. white, double backed bird set
tied on the ground near the grand
stand. He had been of the ground IL
minutes and had flown nearly IL miles.
Then there was a tremendous. pro-
longed cheer, the greatest shout that
ever broke from the Tanforan stand;
greater shout of welcome than ever
greeted the propitious victory of
well played favorite in the days when
Tanforan was the domain OF the race
horse.
Paulhan made two jumps and a flight
yesterday and then stopped. The fact
that the policing force was unable to
keep the field clear may or may not
have been responsible for the brevity
of the program. 1t at least was con-
tributory cause.
Man Conquers Air
But short as the sport was. the one
great fight into the storm was all that
was necessary TO establish the aero
plane as marvel of invention and
power. To see Paulhan tip his ascend
ing or elevator plane ever so slightly
and the broad wings. obedient to the
unseen impetus. lift the man and the
weight OF the powerful motor from one
invisible terrace to another. was to see
