A Great Invention,

OEc0lloDOIO NoWos
A famous Rumanian surgeon.
DR.. Thomas Jonnesco, is now in
this country demonstrating a
new method invented by him for
administering anaesthetics which
if it proves all that its inventor
claims for it, will bid fair to do
more for practical surgery than
anything that has been done
since ansaesthetics firstcame nto
us5.
The new injection is a combina
ton OF two drugs. stovaine and
strychnine, administered hyper.
dennically into thu spinal cord
just below the neck
The effect is that the patient
to be operated Oh remains per.
fectly conscious, can see and hear
everything that is going on, but
is entirely insensible to pain, and
watches the cutting Of his own
flesh or bone just as he would
watch an operation on another.
1t is true in England, where
where he demonstrated his inven.
ton before coming to thiscountry
some OF the more conservative
surgeons doubted safety OF the
new method andshook theirheads
at the idea, but for all that Doc.
tor Jonnesco is going placidly on,
showing what he can do.
lit is really what itsenventor
claims 1t to -be humanity will be
his debtor, and one important
fact that goes far to make us be.
lieve that there ls much to 1t is
the fact that the doctor had nei.
ther patented his invention nor
kept secret the drugs he uses, but
on the contrary has made the en-.
tire matter public and inyitelan
to make use of it, himself show
ing Just how it ls done.
We claim no expert knowledge
on the subject Of anaesthetics,
but we do know, as everyone
must know, that a drug or COM
blnation OF drugs which h ave
no effect upon the heart leaves
the Iatient fully conscious and
relieves oil pain is lar and away
ahead of anything we now have
in the domain of surgery.

First, he made a great flower

parts. The divisions were mark

in the center was a post three feet
high This post had two hands
on it, but, Of course, these were
only for show. A undial on the
post told the time truly in case
