STOPS FLOW OF BLOOD.
Preparation Invented Which Is
Rated as Instantaneous Remedy.

GENEVA, Switzerland, November Il.
A preparation which, it is said, will
stop alplost instantly the flow of blood
from a wound has been invented by
Prof. Theodore Kocher of Berne, who
was awarded the Nobel prize for surg
cry in 1912, and his assistant, DIR. A.
Fonce. The new preparation is called
coagulen.
1t is in the form of 4 powder and is
dissolved in water before being applied
to wound The discovererS Of coagu-
len have made a gift of their invention
to the armies in the field. and have sent
large quantities of the powder to the
surgical headquarters of both the Ger
man and French armies. The discovery
is regarded by medical men here as
likely to save the lives of thousands Of
soldiers, since it can be applied by un-
trained hands, so that the wounded
man himself or his comrade might use
the solution.
