ElDYST0NE HORROR
Carrel-Dakin Treatment OF
Burns Minimized Suffer-
ing and Saved Lives
REMEDY USED
ON BATTLEFIELDS

Only five of the badly burned work
ers injured in the explosion at the
plant Of the Eddystone Ammunition
Corporation have died in the Chester
and Grocer Hospitals at Chester This
saving of human life is attributed in
large measure to the efficiency Of a
Philadelphia business house and the
scientific attainments Of American
physicians.
The patients were given the Carrel-
Dakin treatment for burns, which
sterilized the wounds. Then the burn
ed surfaces were sprayed with a pre-
paration which formed in effect a new
skin and greatly facilitated the real
ing process. Both treatments have
been very successful on the battle
fields of Europe.
When word of the explosion first
reached Philadelphia. II. X. milford
Company at once dispatched its eX-
pert Dr. Paul S. Pittenger and II. X.
milford, Jr.. to Chester, with two
truck loads of metal bottles, glass
tubing and about 600 feet of rubber
hose This was for the purpose of i'm
prOvising apparatus for the apphca-
lion of the CarrelDakin treatment. A
large order for improved apparatus
Of this sort had been placed by the
H. x. Milford Company with the
manufacturer, but had not yet been
delivered.
A record breaking run was made to
Chester. When the trucks drew up at
the Chester Hospital fifty screaming
groaning victims were threshing about
on their cots. Later in the night %
more were brought in At the Grocer
Hospital very few of the injured were
IN so serious a condition.
The Boy Scouts were put to work
assisting Doctor Pittenger and Mr.
milford manufacture the apparatus
tor the application of the Carrel-Dakin
treatment The patients were attend
ed to as rapidly as possible, and in a
few hours the wards were quiet and
nearly all the patients managed tC
sleep a little.
This was entirely due to the efficacy
OF the Carrel-Dakin treatment. This
consisted of keeping the wounds sat
urated with a sodium hypochloridt
solution This sterilized the powder
burns perfectly in SO hours. The so
luton was applied through rubbei
tubes bound up with the bandages
making it unnecessary to unbandag'
the wounds to renew the solution.
When the wounds were perfect.
sterilized the second part of the treat
ment was applied. This consisted of
mixture of paraffin, petroleum., oil o
eucalyptus and beta naphtol. It is usu
ally sprayed on the wounds, but Il
this case speed was the great esseI
tial and il was painted on with
withdrawing brush bought for tn
purpose.
DR.. Alexis Carrel, OF the Rockefe
Ter Institute, of New York, has dev'
loped the Carrel-Dakin treatment
while DR.. Mcneil Sherman brought tn
other treatment from the BATTLEFIELD
hospitals of Europe, the material bC
ing supplied by the Abbott Labori
tories, of Chicago.

The village of West Salem must
pay Mrs. VIM. Voeck of that place the
sum of $4,000 for the murder of her
husband in 1914 by Walter Jones, now
serving a life term at Waupun, the
state supreme court having affirmed
the decision of the circuit court of
Dane county against the state in
dustrial commission and the village
of West Salem, appellants. Voeck was
assisting deputy sheriff in arrest
ing Jones when he was shot and
killed. The widow was awarded the
sum of $4,000 by the industrial COM
mission and the case was appealed.
The Dane county circuit court cut
the award to $4,000 and the supreme
court affirmed the decision. The case
was unique in that it was contended
that Voeck, while temporarily en-
gagged in assisting a deputy sheriff,
was held to be in the employ of the
village.
