DISCOVERY REDUCES
DEATH RISK IN SURGERY

NEW YORK, Dec. 26.-Physicians
and surgeons are awaiting with keen
interest. the work. now on the press,
OF Or. James H. Gwathmey, anaesthet-
ist OF the Skin and Cancer hospital,
and of St. Bartholomew's hospital, and
DR.. Charles Baskerville, professor OF
chemistry at the College OF City or
New York. who have discovered a new
method for administering chloroform
and ether which Is said TO entirely re-
move the death risk and practically
to eliminate the nausea that usually
racks patients after an operation.
The method has been employed In
5000 cases without a death. Ii Is used
by DR.. Davis, OF Johns Hopkins, Bal
timore; DR.. Holmes, OF the new City
hospital, or Cincinnati, and DR.. NJ. p.
Benton, OF New York.
1t has not come into general use"
says DR.. Gwathmey, Because physi-
clans and surgeons pay less attention
10 anaesthesia than anything else and
surgeons are likely not TO care wheth-
er a patient is sick or not after an
operation so long as he is alive.
The new method is called 'Vapor
Anaesthesia The surgeon applies
the vapor of ether or chloroform, or a
mixture OF both through warmed
water before letting the patient
breathe It, Thus, instead OF irritating
the mucuous lining OF the lungs by
coldness. the gases reach them at
blood heat. The water also absorbs
all poisonous aldehydes which, with
the chill, causes nausea,
The dreadful odor." which attacks
most patients is avoided by pouring a
few drops OF spirits OF orange on the
face OF the patient.

OF large part of the fun. II created
veritable riot OF mirth, Monday. and
II was well. perhaps. that IL came at
the finish of the program, after the

pretty near being just that. IL starts

These panels were piped with black
satin and inside the pipings were
black silk cords. On the lower part
of the panels, close to the hem Of the
skirt, were sets of small buttons cov-
cred In dark red leather These but
tons were arranged in sets of FIVE and
they reached up to the knee line. The
coat was nodded to the figure with
out being actually tight and was of
medium length; similar rows of but
tons to those on the skirt appeared
on the front and back panels, and
there was a collar of black satin and
a single rever of red leather. This idea
of large single rever is very new
and when cleverly manipulated 1t is
exceedingly smart. In the case of
the costume which | am now describ-
ing, the rever fell back over the right
breast and the coat opened in a mod.
est V, over a finely-tucked shirt of
white batiste, which showed a hair
line OF red. The sleeves of the coat
were long and moderately tight, with
small cuffs of black satin and little
sets of red buttons"

Rerfern and Paquin the coats are
double-breasted and then cut away

H. k1ESe ing to speak in detail
ESST3lfSl OF the fashions specially
created for the season
on the Riviera, especially the season
at Monte Carlo and Nice.
At this time of the year the big
dressmakers and milliners are very
busy indeed creating original models
for early spring wear, and as the Ri
viera season begins Immediately
after New Years day. one can thus
early form a very good idea OF the
fashions likely to be popular in the
spring and early summer, writes Idalia
de Villiers in her Weekly fashion let
ter.
For the months of January and Feb
ruary, the Riviera costumes, for day
wear. consists largely of tailored suits;
In March more dressy costumes find
favor with our elegantes.
In the first place, all the walking
skirts show the straight lines which
are the rage of the winter, but there
&c decided tendency toward the
round skirt of ordinary length. the
skirt which clears the ground by two
or three inches, but which does not
give the impression Of exceeding
shortness. A great many Of these
skirts are made with a narrow panel
back and front, and not few show
band of embroidery or silk braid
ing, about eight inches in width. at
the extreme hem. have not seen a
single model of tled-in skirt in the
showrooms of our leading tailors or
dressmakers.
