Surgery on Heart

Surgical operations upon the heart have become
more or less of commonplace in medical history.
Something approximating 100 of the sewing

cries have been considerable when considers
erto, however. heart surgery has to
cident cases.
In recent issue of the annals of surgery of
the workers at the Rockefeller institute for
medical research discusses the possibility of
treating diseased hearts surgically. He has made
numerous experiments animals and believes
that such operations will successfully performed
on human beings in the future. His tests
have convinced him that the heart can be opened
started on its beating" path again without any
great, at least insuperable, difficulty BY n
genfous system of side piping and channeling
he is able temporarily to cut of the circulation
portions of such important vessels the descend
ing aorta the largest artery in the body, without
killing the animal Among his suggested opera
lions is the coronary arteries of the heart
for the of angina pectoris.
This doctor has apparently proved his own sat
isfacton animals that successful surgical inter
ference with 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 indication the latter
feat viii be attempted in the future. The in
ractability of cardiac affections their high ia
tally make the proposed surgery a thing of
great general interest may Justify the extreme
holiness of the proposal

regard to the relation which such craft should
bear to the battleshfp feet, and while we have

When the battleship fleet was sent to the Pa

ourselves with suitable auxiliaries for our battle
ship fleet We should have a navy adequate for
needs; not only adequate in battleships but
adequate in every other respect.
