Hippocrates Tells of
Ancient Surgical Work

There is no doubt that some rough
form of surgery must have existed from
very ancient times, but 1t is strange to
find that so complex and delicate an
operation as trepanning is one of the
oldest.
So far as actual records go, Hippo
crates gives us the earliest account. He
wrote treatises on fractures, dislocations
and wounds of the head, in which ne
described the method of procedure to
be followed in the case of 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 anes-
thetics 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 historic
times The effects on the skull are
easily seen after death and are visible
so long as the bones are preserved.
From inspection of certain skulls of
ths 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 implement.

Yellow Writing Paper .
Is Easiest on Eyes

Oculists have often called attention
to the fact that the eyes are easily ia
tiqucd by the reflection from white pa
per especially when the surface Is un-
der a strong light. Since green is known
to be the color most restful to the eyes,
1t Is common practice to use wall
papers and draperies OF that color in
libraries and private studies. For writ
ing paper, however, green Is an unsat-
isfactory color II imparts a reddish
appearance 20 the writing, and makes it
hard to read.
Yellow writing paper is not open to
the same objection. In strong daylight
II Is softer than pure white paper. and
in artificial light is not too dark. Black
letters on yellowish background show
clear and distinct. Many mathemati-
clans use yellow paper in figuring long
and difficult calculations. and many
writer's have adopted II for manuscripts
It has the additional merit of cheap
ness.-From the Youths Companion.
