ITALIAN FINDS
LOCkJAW CURE
Professor lngianni lnvents Port
able Bath for Hot I'M
merSi0nS.
GIVES SATISFkCTORYRESULTS
After Few Days Treatment the Wound
Begins to Heal, Suppuration Dis
appears, Swelling Subsidies
and Fever Ceases.

Headquarters of the Italian Army in
the Ffeld.-Surgec7 Major Professor
Ingianni of the Italian medical corps,
in charge of a field hospital, has APP
piled on a large scale a special treat
ment for lockjaw which is giving most
satisfactory results.
The antitoxin treatment of lockjaw
is extensively used in the Italian army
az a preventive and, thanks to 1t, the
cases of tetanus have been greatly
diminished.
Naturally in field hospitals local con-
ditions are such that it is impossible
to resort to prolonged antiseptic bath
ing of the wounded or infected part,
and the most effective remedy consist
ed in amputation. But even early am
putatiOn often proved of no avail when
the germs in the wound already had
set free a lethal dose of their toxin.
Besides, even when amputation saved
a mans life it left him cripple.
Doctors Amputate Too Freely.
Often for fear of infection surgeons
in the field resort freely to amputation
knowing full well that it would be i'm
possible for them to keep the wound
clean until it is completely healed.
Professor Ingianni instead is con-
WINGED that amputation should only be
resorted to in extreme cases, as a doc
tors first duty is to cure. not to cripple
t1an. Prolonged warm bath of the
wound is an almost infallible remedy
against lockjaw, and nothing prevents
its being administered even in the field
under ordinary conditions. The profess
sor has invented a special portable
bath which can be folded, as it is made
of rubber and shaped in such way
that any limb can be Immersed in 1t.
The bath is then tied to the patient by
means of bandages and placed in any
position, either horizontal or vertical.
Antiseptic Solution is Used.
A warm antiseptic. solution can be
easily kept in it at the same tempera-
ture for five or six hours. AS a rule
a 3 per cent solution of hypochlorite is
used or. else corrosive sublimate in the
proportion of one-half per 1000. But
permanganate of potassium, iodine or
lead water also can be used to advan-
tage. 1t has been found better to all
ternate the employment Of these an
tiseptics.
The results of this treatment are
wonderful. After a few days the
wound beigns to heal, suppuration dis
appears. swelling subsidies and fever
ceases. Recovery follows as matter
Of course even in cases where am
putatiol was considered the only rem
edy. The danger Of lockjaw is en-
tirely obviated.

JUST A FEW HINTS
FOR CAKE MAKERS

Possibly great many more cakes
are failures because they are not
baked right, than because of poor re-
sipes and bad mixing.
Vt is hard TO lay down cut-and-drled
rules telling just exactly how to per-
form the operation of baking a cake
perfectly. Experience is the best
teacher of the fine points of that art,
bet some of the following suggestions
may prove helpful:
Wien pouring the batter in the cake
tin, bring it up against the sides Of the
pan, so that the center of the cake will
be lower than the sides. This will pre-
vent the cake from putting up in the
middle.
Experiments have proved that a
cake does not rise properly in an ever
heated oven. 1t is better to have 1t
too cool rather than too hot, if the
happy medium cannot be attained. An
oven may be cooled by leaving the
door slightly ajar, or by placing a
pan of water on the CRATE of the oven.
II cake is not baking evenly, it is
all right to turn it around in the oven
if the crust has not begun to harden.
Sometimes, If the change is made
after the crust is formed, the cake may
fall.
a thin cake generally requires about
40 minutes for cooking. and at least
one hour is necessary for a thick one.
Do not remove the cake from the tin
Until it has been out of the oven a few
minutes. but never allow one to be-
come cold in the tin, as 1t will proba-
bly, be soggy and stick to the pan when
it is removed.
