Ne W ME- THOD WILL
REDUCE WAR Loss
Successful Means of Treating
TetanuS Victims Has Been
Discovered by DR.. MeltSzer
OF Rockefeller Institute.

NEW YORK. Feb. ga method
Of decreasing the great losses in the
European war through the treatment
of tetanus victims has been discov-
cred by DR.. s. ]. Meltszer of the Rock
efeller institute. Twenty-Five instru-
ments for use in bestOwing the treat
ment have been manufactured.
These Will be presented to the fore
most surgeons of the nations at once.
Patents for the instruments have been
thrown open TO the world and the bel
ligerent nations are privileged TO man
uIacture as many as are needed by
their field medical forces.
one of the greatest scOurges Of the
war is lockjaw which scientists have
satisfied themselves is widely preva-
lent because the tetanus germs are
harbOred in the soil of the richly Gull
uVated areas that are now the scores
of fighting. Soil containing these
germs is very likely to get into the
hurts Of wounded men with the re-
suit that thousands have died a most
horrible death.
The established means OF preventing
tetanus is by a prophylactic dose OF
anti-tetanus serum.
The number of fatalities has been
gresSeS cOnyulsiOns set in and the pa
tient is so worn out by them that he
dies Of asphyXiatiOn before the anti
tetanus serum becomes effective.
According TO the announcement on
Thursday of the Rockefeller institute
Or. MetSzer found that injection of a
solution of magnesium sulphate (ep-
som salts) into the spinal membrane
will produce a complete relaxation Of
the body for hours. This injection
relieves the commissions and the pa
tient is not subjected to that great
strain The injection of the magre-
stun sulphate involves only single
danger The relaxation of the muscles
is likely to be so complete that the
muscles Of respiration also relapse, a
cessation in breathing resulting from
that cause.
In order to eleminate this danger
the Rockefeller institute has devised
an apparatus to produce artificial
respiration, an instrument which fix
ed in the mouth eXacts pharanSeal in
sufflation.
