ago, and are so now where the emergency
facilities are not at hand. Up to the
present day stab wound of the abdom-

hemorrhage, is considered fatal, but below

life was restored, although for as long as
nine minutes the heart had already

have found my method of direct trans.
fusion of blood very useful in cases of
pathological hemorrhage abnormal bleed
ing). Among the patients thus treated
are those know as "bleeders," who bleed
through the mucous cavities of nose
mouth, ETC., at the slightest shock
Blood TRANSMISSION hitherto has failed
technically in the hands Of the very best
surgeons. The reason of the failure is
that when TRANSMISSION is not properly per
formed a clot forms between the blood
vessel of the donor and the blood vessel
OF the recipient. The clot will not allow
the flowing Of the blood from one to the
other. All my efforts are directed to pre-
vent the formation of clot at the point
OF anastomosis
From the time that TRANSMISSION was first
attempted. doctors have used blood yes.
sci of the donor in which the pressure was
high, or have raised such pressure by
artificial means. This has been done
under the impression that the stream of
blood coming from the donor under high
pressure would overcome the pressure in
tie veins Of the recipient and so the
blood of the donor would flow easily into
the recipient.
The commonest procedure is to anast2-
nose the radial (wrist) artery of the donor
with vein of the limb OF the recipient
AS the blood of the radial artery Is under
about seven times as much pressure as
the vein of the recipient, It seems logical
to reason that the blood OF the donor will
flow freely into the system of the recipient
That this does not always occur Is proved
by the many failures Of direct TRANSMISSION
Of blood.
The blood of the donor does not flow
freely, as is commonly supposed and this
is evident from the fact that TRANSMISSION
is generally kept up for from one.half to
one hour A rough estimate of how much

harmonious automatic work OF the organs
constituting the body. The word auto
matte has to be emphasized, because the
phenomena occurring when life is kept on
artifcially cannot be considered as life
For instance, decapitated animal cannot
be said to be alive, although 1t is possible
to maintain circulation, respiration and
the digestive function for a certain tim.
after the head has been severed from tbs
body. This proves that each organ ca
live an Independent life for a certain
length of time. but that life is present only
when the organs of the body are working
automatically in a harmonious way, be-
cause each aceomplishes certain functions
which supply energies and stimuli to the
others. 1t also shows the role of the nerv-
GUS system to be the great co-ordinator OF
all the others.
In certain respects the living body can
be compared to an automobile. The role
of the nervous system in regard to the
functions of the body corresponds to those
of the chauffeur, steering brakes and wires
in the automobile. A serious damage to
the nervous system causes definite death
because the organs, If they work at all, do
not work tremendously, each disturbing
the other, until the harmonious automatic
work ceases and thus ends life. The i'm
portance of the nervous system can we'll
be understood in cases of asphyxia, for
instance. There have been numerous
cases of gas poisoning where the patient
was brought back to life with almost
normal respiration, circulation, etc. but
failed to live because the nervous system
had been damaged to such an extent that
its co-ordinative power was lost,
The most difficult problem to be met in
resuscitation is the reactivation of the
hearts function. The technical difficulties
concern the impossibility at the present

eft heart and negative at the right. This
Inference in pressure assures the circu-
lation of the blood, which depends mainly
on these factors; the blood is contained
in closed elastic system of vessels begin
ming and ending in the heart, which acts
as q double pump by rhythmic continuous
movements of expansion and contraction.
The blood will flow where it meets least
resistance, so an animal can be bled to
death by severing any blood vessel and
keeping its lumen opened, because there
is no obstacle to the blood flowing out.
In some pathologic conditions, such as
shock or severe hemorrhage, the super
ficial blood vessels are almost bloodess
and therefore collapsed. The blood flow
ing from the artery of the donor meets a
great obstacle in the resistance offered by
the narrowing Of the lumen of the veins
of the recipient.
The veins have numerous ramifications,
so that the further the blood flows the
more resistance 1t meets. With increased

as there can be no profound coma or appea
without loss of life The question is not
one of stimulation of the heart so much as
of saving its strength. In pneumonia, for
instance, death could be prevented if the
heart action could be kept up for few
days, the problem here being one of heart
action only because the disease exhausts
itself in few days. The heart is flushed
with blood loaded with poisoned products,
and while its stimulating and nutritious
element, the blood, is nourishing 1t poorly
and poisoning 1t, it has to work harder
because of the resistance met from the
consolidation of the lung tissue.
With these considerations in view have
in two cases resorted to direct TRANSMISSION
of blood into the external jugular vein,
after having bled the patient, in order to
let out the poisoned blood. In another
case | resorted to continuous dropping of
physiological solution into the external
jugular vein. The results were very graft
flying.

TT is generally stated that there are
organs, such as heart, liver and brain,
essential to the maintenance of life,
severe injury of which would cause death.
This assertion must now be taken with
the modification that what we are COM
PEELED to admit to be fatal injury at the
present time may not be so in the near
or distant future. So. IL 1t is true that the
loss, for instance, Of the arms or legs, or
of both, might not cause death, and the
person who suffered the loss might live as
long as If there had been no loss, this is
due, N addition to the development OF
our surgical technic, to social conditions.
The same loss would prove fatal to per-
son isolated from other human beings. as
he would be unable to gather food or carry
IL to his mouth, and as consequence
would starve to death. Years ago it was
thought that the stomach was an organ
essential to life; now We can safely re-

New York Girls Great Feat Of Mountain Climbing

"The first ascent on this side was made
last year by an Englishman, Mr., Kirkwood,
the second by Miss Welsh Accompanied
by the guides Hermann Hess and Eugen
Kuster, she left Engelberg at 6:15 a. m
and proceeding up the Hohfad Alp com
menced the ascent of the northern face at
8 a. m.
For eight hours the party led by Kus-
ter, toiled up this nearly perpendicular
precipice, the difficulties of which were
found by Miss Welsh to be incomparably
greater than those of the mighty Matter
horn; so great were they that the guides
found 1t advisable to climb In stockings.
Two hours more were spent crossing
the glacier and descending the Laubergrat
10 the Trubsee Hotel, and at $3.50 p. m
Miss Welsh reached Engelberg, where she
deservedly received an ovation.
1T is probable that such difficult and
almost unknown ascent has never been
made before by a lady, and Miss Welsh
has performed an unprecedented achieve
ment of which her country may we'll be
proud, especially in these days of interna-
uonal physical competition, in spite of the
utterance of her distinguished, but cynical
compatriot, who said he did not know who
was the greater fool-the man who climbed
a mountain only to come down again, or
he who, there being two ways of doing d
thing, chose the more difficult. Miss
Welsh comes from New York City"

resistance there is diminution of pressure.
because the width of the bed in which the
blood is flowing, when contained in the
artery, is enormously increased in the ven-
Gus system of the recipient.
By using a vein of the neck of the
recipient the conditions for the flowing of
the blood from the donor are quite differ
ent from the conditions described above
when using vein of limb. The pres
sure of the blood in the veins of the neck
or the recipient is negative, and even in
the most extreme anemiaS cannot oppose
any resistance to the blood flowing from
the vessels of the donor. AS the blood
flows where there is least resistance by
anastomosing the vessel of the donor with
the vessel in the neck of the recipient, the
blood will flow very freely from the vessel
in which the pressure is position to the
one where the pressure is negative. By
using vein of the neck of the recipient
the blood coming from the donor falls d.
rectly into the heart of the former, aided
by the suction of the heart during diastole
and by the changes in pressure in the
chest during the inspiration and expira-
ton.
Recent experiments have convinced me
that the best technic is to use a vein for
both donor and recipient. 1t Is extremely
easy to find good-sized vein in the arm of
any adult as donor For the recipient the eX-
ternal jugular vein should always be used
for the physiologic reasons explained
above and because the greatest difficulty
met in performing TRANSMISSION in children
is due to the fact that their superficial
blood vessels are very small. 1t was then
necessary to use the external femoral,
which is Of pretty good size, but not very
superficial, while the external jugular is
both superficial and of sufficient size even
in infants.
General anesthesia is absolutely con
tra-indicated; in many cases it would be
sufficient to produce the child's death, and
1t is not at all necessary. Cocaine solu-
ton, to 500, is sufficient to produce per-
feet anesthesia
Remember that TRANSMISSION must pro
coed slowly; If the blood is flowing too
rapidly make slight pressure on the don
or's vein TRANSMISSION should last only
few minutes; child does not need much
blood.
Rapid repair of blood vessels and heart
have been accomplished by new technic
which | have devised, but not yet pub
lished. The technic is as follows: Small
gold wires are bent so as to form an
arc with two very small points in the
inside of the arc. The intima OF the
cut blood vessel is brought into per-

and concaine poisoning and from asphyxia
and hemorrhage

TRANSMISSION had saved many children dy-
ing from abnormal bleeding. He referred
to technic of joining severed nerves and
blood vessels which would enable him to
graft the limbs Of dead persons on to liv-
ing persons who needed them. Surgeons

AN SIR ALFRED TURNER, who
has recently been in the Alps, re-
~ lates a thrilling achievement OF
New York girl, which is unparalleled III
the records of mountain climbing among
women. General Turner said to your
correspondent:
"A remarkable feat of courage and en-
durance was accomplished from Engelbers
on August rs by Miss Edith Welsh, young
American lady.
"Titlis is the highest of the mountains
in the locality, and though it can only
boast of an altitude Of 1856 feet, Engel'
berg, the starting point, is some $500 feet
above the sea, while zermatt is $500 feet
and the Schwarzsee 7,541 feet, and the
Matterhorn, which Miss Welsh assembled
on August %, is 1896 feet; so that the
height to be surmounted was greater in
the case of Titlis.
"The latter mountain, assembled by the
ordinary route from the Trubsee, is con-
sidered to be one Of the most accessible
of the Swiss snow giants and only requires
a trustworthy guide and good condition in
the climber. It has been climbed many
thousand times.
1.-THE northern wall, however, had long
been held to be inaccessible; from the val
ley at Herrewinte it appears to be quite
perpendicular up to a height Of nearly
5000 feet, where the glacier commences

~ NE OF the most interesting addresses
delivered at the recent great Inter
national Congress of Medicine, in
London, was by DR.. A. l.. Soresi, of New
York.
DR.. Soresi described how he had brought
animals to life nine minutes after their
hearts had stopped beating by direct trans
fusions of blood from other animals. He
argued that the same method would revive
all cases of death from morphine, ether

Blood TRANSMISSION by Connecting al
Artery in the Donors Arm with Vel,
in the Recipients Arm.
Diood the donor would lose in that time
from severed radial artery clearly shows
that the death Of the donor would result
If the blood was flowing freely. Rarely
the blood is flowing so rapidly from the
donor to the recipient that the flow has to
be slowed down by compression of the
artery. In these cases, and only in these,
is the blood flowing freely from the donor
to the recipient.
Why, then, does the blood not flow in
every case from the artery of the donor
into the system of the recipient? Be-
cause the technic Of using an artery of
the donor and a vein of limb of the re-
cipient is wrong. To make the blood flow
freely from donor to recipient, the blood
of the donor should flow without any OBJ
stacle directly into the heart of the recip-
lent. This is accomplished by using the
external jugular vein of the recipient and
is explained by the laws regulating the cir.
culation of the blood. When the blood
leaves the blood vessel of the donor and
enters the vein of the recipient, it is no
more under the influence of the heart OF
the donor but under the influence of the
heart and blood vessels of the recipient
exclusively, and in order to circulate it
must reach the heart of the recipient.
Why this does not occur is easily ex
planned. Blood pressure is highest at the
