Saving Babies Lives by
Vein injections Of Sea Water

lWalthamstow doctor. The doctor
said he could do nothing" explained
the mother.
-Four injections" said the doctor.
do you think l shall pull her
through" the mother asked in a
strained voice.
YES" was the CHEEKY answer, 1--WE
seen far worse than that?"
Upstairs again were the rooms
where the injections are given, and
here babies were lying about on pill
lows, and quiet, CHEEKY nurses, their
garments shining with cleanliness, at
tended deity to the babies needs"
The sea water is not common sea
water taken from anywhere, nor is it
pumped haphazard into any or every
child 1t comes in the first place
from the Bay of Biscay, and it is taken
twenty miles from land and from deep
down in the sea. Then it goes to M.
Quinton's laboratory, and he modifies
it, or breaks it down." until it is of
the same sadness as the fluid which
flows in every human body.
For that precisely was the great dis
covery of this great Frenchman. The
earliest forms of life were in the sea,
when the whole earth was covered
with water, and every living thing,
whether bird or beast, still carries in
its veins fluid which is identical with
the waters of the sea, as the sea was
in those remote times. The sea is
salter now but it's constituents re-
main the same.
Every one of he physicians and
nurses at the Polytechnic has studied
the system in Paris, for without eX-
perience it is impossible to know how
, to practice it, the doses vary with
the cases. A few philanthropists put
up the money for the building at 81
Poland street.
The sea water is contained in a
graduated glass tube from which
hangs a long flexible tube with a fine
needle at the end of it. THE needle,
said the doctor, lis warmed and ster.
ilized in the flame every time it is
used, and these rubber tubes are dis.
infected every day"
Doctor Hoyle sat down and opened
his case-book.
Here is letter from a doctor in
the suburbs" he said. 1.-The poor lit.
tie thing looks to me to be dying,
he writes. I can do nothing more for
it, When the mother brought it to us
its face was ashen gray.
"You see, we gave it 100 cubic cent?,
meters of plasma-the technical name
of modified sea water-in the morning
and another 100 cubic centimeters in
the evening. Next day we gave an
other 100 cubic centimeters, and the
third day fifty cubic centimeters. Now
look at the result. The temperature
is normal, the baby takes its food
ravenously, it has not vomited since
the first injection, and it slept foI
five hours on end. The mother tells
me she looked at it time after time
to see if it were not dead"
He turned up case after case of the
same kind, and to the doctor it was
nothing more than a fine system 81
healing successfully applied. But to
the layman it was a miracle a thou
sand times repeated.

A BOY WHO SAW
LEES SURRENDER

In Harper's for October, W. G. Bey-
mer tells of the adventures of Charles
Phillips of Richomond, a boy spy of
the Civil War. Not the least interest,"
ing of these experiences is the tale of
how the boy saw the great war ended.
with the federal occupation there
was at once government employment
for the Phillipses in the post quarter
masters department, work which to
Charlie was a sharp and sudden con-
trast to the days of secret service
work that gave abundant promise of
fast becoming routine, and that, too,
while there still was fighting, desper-
ate fighting, to the west of Richmond.
He had gone everywhere OH God 5
footstool for Others now just this
once let him go somewhere for him
self He borrowed a horse from
Uncle Samuel and rode off to his
holiday. For the last time he woull
see a battle!
He was hunting for it when he
slowly rode into the little town of
AppomattoX; he had come too late
for battles. He saw General Grant
and large party of officers ride up to
one of the houses and enter. Scarce
knowing why, he fingered. The front
yard and the roadway were filled with
horses held by OTderlies. Central
Lees in there!' they told him. Some
of the citizens of the town had come
over to see what was going on. One
or two of the holder, perhaps friends
of Wilmer Mclean, the HORSEPOWER,
went upon the porch, and then entered
the hall and peeped into the room
which that day became historic.
Charlie Phillips followed. He saw a
small room crowded with officers; he
saw General Grant seated at one table,
at another General Lee. An officer
to whom he had once carried a mes
sage recognized him and nodded. In
his excitement the boy scarcely saw
him. 1t is one of his most poignant
regrets that he could never remember
which officer spoke to him. He dared
take but one hurried look about the
room, then tiptoed out into the yard
and waited. After a long time Gen
eral Lee and another gray-clad officer
came out, followed by the Federals.
The boy watched them ride away. 1t
was over! He turned his own horse
toward Richmond and rode, now sober,
now eXultant.
/ 1T was late the next day when he
reached the post quartermaster's Of
fee. He scarcely knew his father,
who stood with young Federal lieu
tenant, talking and laughing like a
man suddenly grown years younger
His fathers greeting was as though to
a comrade.
"'Where you been, Charlies?' and
then, without waiting for an answer,
+ Did you know about Lees surrender?
The boys rejoinder is the epitome of
his service:
"'Sure! he said. I was there.

ponds on the make of comparatively

it is very probable that the electric
furnace will find an important place.
Where fuel is plentiful and cheap it
is not likely to compete with the
blast furnace in the making of cru lie
iron, though it may find a place in
the refining or high-grade and special
steels, as it is already doing in this

LONDON, September 9.-In an I'M
assuming house in unprepossessing
Poland street, Soho, a devoted little
band of men and women are battling
for babies lives-and winning the bat
tie. They are the physicians (men
and women) and nurses of the Quin-
ton Polytechnic, and their chief weapon
is sea water.
They are the apostles in this coun-
try of the sea-water cure which NJ.
Quinton, the famous French scientist,
hit on after fourteen years study,
and which has been practised in Paris
for five years with startling success.
The treatment is as simple as its
effects are astonishing. A baby is
brought in on the verge of death from
the murderous gastro-enteritis, for in
stance, a few teaspoonfuls of sea wa
ter are injected into it's veins, and in
an hour it's symptoms abate; the
brightness comes back to its dulling
eyes, it sleeps, it eats, it lives.
1--WE do not want anything sensa-
tional written about u.s." said Doctor
HoyIe, the secretary of the Polytechnic
and one of the half dozen physicians
who are giving their services without
fee to this work. But we should like
the clinic better known, although it.
means more work for us-we treated
forty cases this morning. We want
to save the babies. They are dying
like flies, and people do not realize IT,.
One mother told me that eight babies
had died in the street next to her, and
200 in the immediate neighborhood."
A subdued procession of mothers
with tiny still bundles in their arms
and haunting anxiety in their eyes,
was climbing the stairs to the wait
ing room on the first floor.
The mothers names were taken,
and as each ones turn came she went
up to the next floor, where the doc
tors examined the little ones, made
notes of the symptoms and history OF
the case, and decided upon the injec-
ton to be given.
OF the mothers who had made pre-
vious visits to the Polytechnic not one
returned to sa yher baby was worse.
Last Friday we had to feed him
with a spoon" said a Canning Town
woman. "He lay back in our arms as
if he were dead. After the first days
injections he was a little better, and
now he seems quite well again"
Another woman declared her baby
was out of danger now. But last week
there was mo hope for her" She was
wasting away because of severe gas,
tro-enteritis and vomiting.
She's fatter now than when
brought her." said the mother.
Not all the mothers were Loor. Some
of them were well-dressed and well.
TODD. But treatment is free to all who
cannot afford to pay.
There was one case of a baby who
was born to people in good circum
stances at Lewisham. Their doctor
told them of the sea-water cure, and
the baby was sent in taxicab to the
Polytechnic in charge of nurse.
The child, who was terribly thin q
week ago, is growing plump now after
a few injections.
There were two shocking cases-liU
tie wizened babies who seemed to be
uuivering between life and death. For
one a bed was made up, as it was to
have three injections during the day
The other baby had been sent by a
