and victory were narrated. and the fight
with the liquor interests. She told OF the

The history of the Masonic lodge in

THE SUN IS SETTING
 FOR TWILIGHT SLEEP
Remain Wideawake, Go Un- der Operation and Suf-
 fer No Pain.

Twilight sleep, plus-that was the unanimous opinion of members of the Society of Regular Physicians who were present at a dem monstration of the use of nitrous oxide and oxygen for an anesthesia "this side of losing consciousness" last evening at meeting in the home of Dr. H. T. Bray on Court street.
 The anesthetic makes the patient absolutely immune from pain while at the same time he retains all his fac ulties and is able to watch any opera tion being performed on his own body. The use of the com bined gases is not new to medicine but the machine with which the mixture is administered had never before been seen in New Britain. By the em- p1oyment of certain mechanism, a thorough mixing of the gases so the proper combination will be manu- factured is possible. The machine, it is claimed, cannot go wrong and should a physician using it fall dead at the side of a patient harm would result.
 In order to demonstrate the possi- bilities of the machine. three mem bers of the society permitted them selves to be operated on. After they had inhaled a proper amount of the gas. needles and other sharp instru- ments were run into their flesh They watched the operations with amusement and interest but felt no pain. As a further test, their flesh was pinched to such an extent that any person not under the influence of the gas would have been in agony yet they smilingly submitted to the torment" without feeling the slight est pain. That the gas has no ef- feet on the stomach was shown when the three "patients'' fell to and ate as heartily as the rest of the excellent buffet lunch pr. Bray had had pre- pared.
 The new method was thoroughly endorsed as being far superior to twilight sleep in the case of obstet- rics. It makes possible painless birth period and is considered by the physicians present to be one of the most remarkable strides made by science.
