Prevention of Injuries and Accidents

IAN ounce of prevention is worth
pound of cure is saying that is GER
tainly very applicable to accidents and
injuries which call for a great many,
and often very serious, surgical opera
tions. In this day of railroads. automo-
biles and machinery, accidents occur with
great frequency and men are killed or in
jured in great numbers Any issue Of
a daily paper will contain an account of
one or more such accidents, and the very
worst feature connected with them Is
that in many instances they might have
been prevented. 1t is far better to pre-
vent an accident than to amputate a
limb, or do some other operation. which,
while it may save the patients life. will
leave him crippled.
Much stress is being laid on the fact
that employers do not protect their en-
to lay the blame of accidents upon de-
fective machinery, badly arranged build
ings. poor management. etc. This has
become such a common practice that
many states are enacting employers liza
biity acts for the protection of workers.
The purpose of such laws is good, but
the fact should not be forgotten that
probably as many injuries are due to de-
fective men as to defective methods
For instance report OF the physical
education department of the Trade School
in New York shows that out of 21S girls
examined eighty-six had defective vision,
Twelve ue1ectlVe nearing ana nVe
chronic nervous disease. In this case
more than 30 per cent were found de-
fective, and 1t is also true that 20 to b
per cent of public school children have
POOR eyesight and to 6 per cent poor
hearing. In view of these facts 1t is
clear that in order to lessen the chances
for injury and for self-protection EN-.
ployers should insist upon physical ex
animation before employing workers.
Such an examination would exclude the
detectives. and by so doing absolutely
prevent many accidents apd injuries. In
surance companies, armies, navies, police
and fire departments demand such ex-
aminatiops, and industrial companies
would do we'll to follow their example.
Poor eyesight and hearing are often re-
sponsible for Gripping and fatal acct
dents. 1t Is difficult for persons so af-
fected to get out Of the way of automo-
biles. trains and other vehicles. Let us
insist that many such accidents positive
~ can be prevented by paying due at
tention to the diseased eyes and ears.
Commendable to Congress.

STUFF CARS ENTERED
IN HOOS|ER CLASSIC
Merz and Anderson Will Pilot
Machines on indianapolis
Speedway.

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. January IL
Two Stutz cars are the first to be en-
tered in the JOO-mile race to be run at
the Indianapolis motor speedway Me-
mcrial day. The cars were entered New
Year day.
Charley Merz and Gil Anderson. ia
nous as Stutz drivers, were named to
pilot the machines. A relief driver for
either car was not named. Both Merz
and Anderson drove in the 50O-mile last
year, Merz finishing fourth, and Zengel
sixth. Anderson. however. did not fin
ish, going into the ditch at 200 miles
with blown tires.
The cars were entered by the Ideal Motor
Car Company of indianapolis. manu-
facturers of the Stutz car. On both cars
will be four-cylinder motors, made to
conform to the condition which names
40 cubic inches as a maximum piston
displacement.
Successful at Racing.
The Stutz car has been wonderfully
successful at the racing game. Its very
first time out it finished the first 800
mile race. Besides getting fourth and
sixth in the jOO-mile race last year, the
StutZ car was very successful in the
racing world, particularly at Elgin and
Milwaukee. in competition with cars Of
much higher power.
This year the $4,000 prize will be d.
vided into ten prizes. instead Of twelve.
as last year. as follows: First, $4,000:
second, $4,000; third. 5000; fourth,
$500; fifth. 5000: sixth, $500; seventh,
$500; eighth. $1,000; ninth. 1880; tenth,

facture of matches. 1t is a matter for
nation wide rejoicing that Congress has
recently passed a law placing such
high tax on the common strike any
where match as to make Its manufacture
Improbable. This is a striking instance
of the national legislature lending its
aid to preventive surgery. for this law
will be the means Of preventing many
mutilating surgical operations and Oh
saving many persons from a Gripping
and fatal disease.
Many accidents due to hard sitting or
jostling on railroad trains and other
vehicles, occurring especially to women
are due to some pre-existlng diseased
conditions which could have been easily
and certainly cured by proper surgical
treatment. 1t is striking fact that
such accidents seldom or never happen
to healthy women. In this field alone
preventive surgery has great oppor-
tunity. and doctors who now advise
against operations for the cure of these
troubles must seek some other employ
ment.
Example of Preventive Surgery.
Let us consider a few examples OF
preventive surgery. The puncturing or
the ear drum in cases of abscess OF the
internal ear allows the escape Of infective
material. which. II not so drained, may
eat it's way into the bone of the skull,
producing a grave condition, abscess Of
the mastoid bone. or even into the brain
itself, with the resulting brain abscess.
The surgical operation of puncturing
the ear drum is Insignificant when COM
pared to the operations for mastoid dis
ease or abscess Of the brain. The re-
moval of small scaly white patches
which are prone to form on the outer
ledge of the lips of people of advanced
years may save them from that terrible
scourge, cancer, for 1t has been shown
that these insignificant scales, which.
when scratched off come back, are the
forerunners of lip cancer.
In the same way the cutting out of
small Jumps from the breasts of women
may save them from cancer later in life.
We now know that these benign tumors
are only too often the beginning OF
cancer.
Modern surgery can correct cases of
dyspepsia which for months have not
ically diseased appendix or gall stones.
Thus operations may prevent a gradual
accumulation of symptoms which eventu-
ally lead to invalidism and total inca
pacity.
The comparatively simple operation to
cure a rupture or hernia may save the
patient from death. Without such an
operation there is no means of curing
rupture. the advertisements to the con-
tim is liable to StrangulatiOn and gan
creme of the bowels in the hernia OPEN
ing.
These are only a few of the many in
stances where timely surgical opera
ton may prevent a much more serious
acute disease, a life of invalidism and
misery, or even death itself.
