Anaesthesia's Discoverer.

At Jefferson, Ca, short time ago
there was unveiled a monument erect
ed to the memory of DR.. Crawford w.
Long in honor of his discovery OF
anaesthesia or its first use In a sur.
gdcal operation. 1t was In March,
1912, that DR.. Long, while instructing
several young men who were studying
medicine under him, was making some
experiments with sulphuric ether
conceived the idea of producing
anaesthesia by the inhalation of the
vapor. The experiments were success.
full In causing kind of intoxication OF
his subjects and making them to a
degree unconscious of pain. Soon
afterward he made successful prac.
tical application of the ether in a
surgical case. DR.. Long made no at
tempt to exploit his achievement or
lay his claim of discovery before the
world. In 1900 Sir Humphrey Davy
observed the anaesthetic effect Of nj
trous oxide and suggested its use In
surgery, but DR.. Long, in 1912, was the
first to use an anaesthetic to perform
a surgical operation without pain to
the patient. In 1884 Horace Wells,
a Hartford dentist, used nitrous OK
ide for the painless extraction of teeth
and other claims of priority were
made about the same time by den
lists and physicians. Dr. Marion Sims
of New York has, however published
a pamphlet in which he proves that
the credit Is due DR.. Long Nashville

many times over, for the small trouble.
A mother writes saying: Our chill.

stronger than they ever were before
we made a change in the character of
the food. We have quit using pota-

and so much meat.
Now we give the little folks some
fruit, either fresh stewed, or canned,
some Grape-Nuts with cream, occa-
sionally some soft boiled eggs, and
some Postum for breakfast and sup.
per. Then for dinner they have some
meat and vegetables.
TT would be hard to realize the
change in the children, they have
grown so sturdy and strong, and we
attribute this change to the food ele-
ments that, l understand, exist In
Grape-Nuts and Postum.

teething and had a great deal of stom-
