them must study the details before
starting to build; otherwise the house
will be unsatisfactory when finished.
The fact is, few families can find a

SURGERY IN ANCIENT TIMES
Trepannlna 10 One Of tho Oldest Of
Operations, Dating Back to
Stone Age.

There Is no doubt that some rough
form Of surgery must have existed
from very ancient times, but 1t is
strange to find that 30 complex and
delicate an operation as trepanning Is
one of the Oldest.
SO far as actual records 60, Hippoc-
rates gives us the earliest account.
He wrote treaties on fractures, dislo-
cations and wounds of the head, In
which he described the method OF
procedure to be followed in the case
of a fractured skull. His direction
was to cut away a piece of bone SO
that the pressure on the brain might
be relieved.
There are also records about this
time and later Of a file being used for
this purpose, which at a time when
anaesthetics were undreamed Of must
have been, to say the least, painful.
According to DR.. T. Rice Holmes,
the operation of removing pieces OF
bone was performed long before his
toric times. The effects on the skull
are easily seen after death and arc
visible 30 long as the bones are pre-
served.
From inspection of certain skulls Of
the later stone age In ancient Britain,
DR.. Holmes has come to the conclusion
that some of these had undergone the
operation, which must have been per-
formed with a stone approximations
