NEW AnEsrHETlc OF VALUE
Substitute for Ether That Greatly Fa
cilitates Necessary Operation on
Cats and Dogs,

II some cats and dogs were not
dumb they would undoubtedly get up
a testimonial to Dr. George w. Little
to express their gratitude to him for
introducing substitute for ether-a
substitute which enables them to with
stand operations that are particular
ly hazardous when performed under
ether.
Although because of lack of imagina-
ton animals do not suffer mentally as
do humans when facing an operation,
1t is impossible to perform q serious
operation with the aid Of local an
esthetic. Doctor Little has succeeded
by adapting to his uses the gas an
esthetic used by dental surgeons, says
the Popular Science Monthly.
The machine which Doctor Little en-
ploys in his work in the Animal hos
pital in New York city, conducted BY
the American Society for the Proven
ton of Cruelty to Animals, consists
of two c. finders, one containing nj.
trous oxide and the other oxygen. The
cylinders are connected with two bags
by tubes. One bag is filled with the
gas, the other with the oxygen. The
outlet of each bag passes into one tube
connected with the mouthpiece that is
attached to the patients nose. The
proportions of the gas employed may
be regulated by valves.

apparatus In such manner that not

the lungs. Again, the whale must OF
necessity stay much longer period

might possibly drown him. inasmuch
as the lungs cannot have access to

has been anticipated and obviated by
