THREE BIG AS IN SURGERY
Continued from page 4

invading Turin, the wounded were SO nu-
merous that the supply of boiling oil gave
out.
Ambrose Pare, young French surgeon
on his first campaign, was in despair. But
perhaps necessity is the mother of pre-
vention." At any rate, he tied the bleeding
vessels and bound the wounds as best as he
could with clean bandages. Long before
daybreak he was with his patients, expect
ing to find them in horrible condition, per-
haps dead, from gangrene. What was his
astonishment to find that those whom he had
treated with the boiling oil were in agony,
while those whom he had merely bandaged
were comparatively comfortable. Exeunt
boiling oil.
Shortly afterward Pare developed the use
of the ligature in tying off blood vessels, SUBJ
stituting this for the old method of soaring
the stump with redhot iron. The first man
on whom he tried it was so delighted with
the results that he swore great oath, the
only printable part of which was that he had
got rid of his leg on very good terms.
A perfect glutton for work, Pare described
all the medical and surgical conditions then
known, developed the technic of scores of
operations, and elaborated improvements in
obstetrical practice. And his childlike boast
that "The ancients have naught wherein to
eACeI US, anu pOSteIlIy VIII lOI De dDle W
surpass us, save by some additions to things
already discovered, was a bold prophecy.
For over two hundred and fifty years it was
true! Pare had written @Finis' under the
World Chapter on Surgery. All that the
surgeon could do to mend the body he had
done.
Then, in the first half of the nineteenth
century, the marvel of "The Blessed Sleep
came wlnglng its way out of the unknown,
and Anesthesia, the second of the Three Big
AS, was born. The chapter closed by Pare
was reverently turned down, and humanity
Jared to new miracles and still more mar
velous wonders.
Following Pare, great names dot the
slowly unrolling pages of history, plentiful as
the currants in Christmas cake, each work
er bringing to the general fund some crumb
of learning, some new fact garnered from the
plentiful tables of Opportunity and Applica
ton. 1t has been a glorious history, rich
with the priceless fruits of toll and sacrifice
and loving service for humanity.
We now see wherein we have reason to pay
tribute to the white-robed Priest of Health
who officiates at the operating table, that
noblest altar ever erected to mankind, and
to the indefatigable worker in hospital, labo-
ratory, clinic, and dissecting room, who have
made of the miraculous the commonplace.

mann He discovered the remedial value
of mercury, and was the first to point out
the connection between cretInlSm in the off
spring and goiter in the parents-thus hint
ing at one of the recently discovered func-
tons of the thyroid. And he may have
had splendid premonition of asepsis; for
he treated wounds with strict regard for
cleanliness.
He may have been an arrant braggart: his
favorite admonition was to the effect that
IF you really wish to learn, listen to what
say, attend to what | write" Perhaps
Browning overestimates him; but undoubt
edly he was great genius.
Then came Vesa1ius, the "Father of Anat-
omy" He believed that the first study of
mankind was man; but he was hard put to
find material for that study, owing to the
ecclesiastical ban upon dissection. For,
though those gentlemen were adept muir
derers, they had powerful preJudlces against
the examination of human bodies for SClen-
tifc purposes.
So Vesalius was forced to depend for ma
terial upon the unfortunateS who hung in
chains at almost every crossroad. In the
dead of night he stole those bodies, took
them to his room, and worked upon them
in imminent danger that the strong arm of the
Inquisition, like the tentacles of a devilish,
might TedCn, even IIO1n Cne Q11Il shadows Ol
his closely curtained room, entwine him in
it's hideous grasp, and consign him to the
horror of the torture However, he deter
mined the structure of the heart, and came
within a hairs breadth of anticipating the
illustrious Harvey in demonstrating the cir
culation of the blood. He found out so
much about the body that was never before
even suspected that he required large sized
book to tell it all in.
But Vesalius was finally taken "red
handed" accused of "impiety," and SEN
fenced to death by the Inquisition. Philip
H., however, interviewed for him, and his
sentence was committed to pilgrimage to
the Holy Land. And the story goes that
even the elements protested against per-
hitting such a wretch to live; for the winds
blew hurricane, the sea Numbered in
mountainous waves over the vessel in which
he had taken passage, and Vesalius the
Anatomist expiated his temerity in daring
the displeasure'of his prosecutors.
FROM earliest Egyptian times the ac-
copied method of treating wounds con-
sisted of pouring boiling oil over the surface,
and smearing them with pitch. And so it
happened that on the evening of particu-
1arly sanguinary day, when Francis l. and
