PETTICOAT GOYERNNENT.

Petticoat government is an am
biguous phrase. 1t may mean two
different things: either that you
petticoats govern you. So long as you
govern your petticoats they are, or they

when they begin to control you, and
limit your right Of action, your right
of speed, your right of physical ease,
then tney become ignoble; and they
tend to make you ignoble also.

excusable. He couldn't resist saying:

cherish that feeling let her dress to
it.

Tae long skirt or robe lends itself to
ceremony because ceremonial action
is slow, regulated and ornate; tne
long train serves the good practical
pu pose Of preventing the central fig
ures from crowding too closely up
on each others heels. In fine ceremony
there is always a certain fundamental
element of the dance; it is I'll de-
corative moyement-to that end the
rich and voluminous robe is not a
hindrance, but a help and SO in a
sense it may be said that all the more
peaceful and internal forms of gov
ernment-wlen expressed through

tend to be petticoat forms; that the
outward expression of government by

nature. The application of this pres
sure diea to local organs, such as the
eye and ear. is new departure.
The method of anaesthesia practiced
by DR.. Fitzgerald is based on the
known fact that there are areas in the
nose, throat and mouth that are highly
sensitive and that contain delicate and
intricate nerve sources. 1t was by
study of the zones that DR.. Fitzgerald
worked l ut his discovery, the method
of applying which he demonstrated in
so startling a way at the clinic.
DR.. Fitzgerald is native of Middle
town, Conn. He was graduated from
the University of Vermont, was in the
Boston City hospital three years and
studied in Europe four years. He is an
as ciate member Of the New York
Academy of Medicine and frequent
contributor to professional magazines.
Raw Neat For tuberculosis.
Professor Charles Richet, the distin-
guished scientist to whom was award
ed the nobel prize for medicine this
year, has announced in Paris that
tuberculosis can be cured with raw
meat juice.
"The treatment is difficult q fol-
low" he says, ''but I have proved its
effectiveness. Every day the patient
must go to a slaughter house, obtain
ten pounds of fresh meat, then extract
the reyivifying juice from it. This is
a long and tedious task. Ten pounds
of meat yield about half pint of
juice, which should be conserved on
ice.
"My patients who were suffering
from tuberculosis of the lungs were
cured by this treatment, although it
had to be followed faithfully for three
years.
81 admit it is a costly as we'll as
difficult remedy, but it is certain one
in all but the most advanced cases. l
do not believe any serum exists which
will cure the dread disease"
DIR. Calmette has discovered a vac
cine which has given calves immu-
nifty from tuberculosis. He has mixed
most virulent Koch bacilli in their food
and inocuIated them under the flesh,
pumping hundreds of millions of
germs into their veins. He admits that
his experiments are not conclusive as
to his effective treatment Of humans.

the eyeball, the patient never wincing,
This demonstration by DR.. Fitzger-
aid was a sequel to one he gave at the
hospital in Hartford short time be-
fore, in which he showed the prelimi-
nary steps to the use Of the method.
In the preliminary clinic the patients
were shown to be able to trace the
sensations of g.Vw or a feeling of
lightness. By pressures in the throat
the physician produced sensations in
various parts of the body, in the back
or in the extremities, for instance, and
demonstrated that acute pain in any
section of the body can be quickly re-
Iieved by mere pressure.
There are several advantages to be
gained from use of reflex anaesthesia,
as was demonstrated. In the first
place, the use of dangerous anaesthet-
les like ether is avoided. In spite of
the general use of ether its admins
tration is still accompanied by grave
danger except in the hands of an ex-
pert.
In the case of minor operatS ms,
such as the removal of splinters, the
use of the local anaesthesia avoids the
necessity for administering ether
where it requires twenty minutes or
more, though the actual operation
can be performed in thirty seconds.
How Discovery Was Made.
Loss of sensation in a limb from
prolonged pressure has been k I wn
to medical science for years. 1t is,

DR. Fitzgerald operated upon sew

use drugs, gas or cocaine. He applied
a pressure to the nerves through the
nose or throat, acting, as he ex-
planned, on the well known fact that
there are certain especially sensitive
nerve tines pressure upon which in
stantly will stop pain. In one case
he anaestnetized the hand of wo
man so that pins were thrust into
the flesh without giving the slightest
pain.
In another case a foot was anaes-
thetized, and fifteen incisions were
made. Two teeth were painlessly ex-
tracted. In still another case, after
producing an anaesthetized condition,
the physician punctured an eardrum
without any sensation \ pain. The
puncturing of an eafdrum is regarded
as one of the most painful of opera
tions.
