NEW MEDICAL MARVEL
CAN WASH OUT BRAIN
BY international News Service

New York, June 13.-Of all the re-
markable medical innovations shown
to the members of the American Medi-
cal Association here. probably the
most marvellous is new antiseptic
solution perfected after ten years
work by Or Wilfred Fralick of this
city. Or Oscar Eckstein of the Uni
versity of Berlin. and Or A. { Allen
of the University Of Chicago
It is superior to the famous Carrel
Dahin solution because in addition to
everything that preparation can do.
It can be used on the brain and in the
abdominal cavity and can be injected
directly into the blood without danger
The last named quality makes it of
startling significance in the treatment
of blood poisoning.
While to put the CarrelDakin solu-
ton into the veins of a patient would
mean certain death the new prepare
ton. chlorinated solution Of per
mauganate of potash can he run di-
rectly into the blood stream without
disturbing anything there except the
evil elements meant 10 be attacked
In the Cumberland Street Hospital.

of the new antiseptic through needle
into the veins of a man suffering from
serious septic infection of the
glands No anaes,hetic was used. yet
the patient said he felt no pain at all
Another operation was upon man
with a compound fracture OF the skull
Splinters Of bone and dirt were press

new antseptic not only washed the
brain tissue at the surface. but ear
ried away the small splinters of bone.
In such an operation as this for

were told that in a similar case by the
new method the wound had been
healed without any signs of infection.

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT.

Governor Lowden, will yetOe the Dill
abolishing capital punishment in this
state. The bill should never have
been passed in the first place. 1t was
represented to the legislature that
capital punishment increased crimes
instead of reducing them and many
legislators believed 1t.
Advocates for abolition OF capital
punishment claim that the I. ) NOR
talty statistics Of homicides disclose
fewer murders in the states when
have abolished the death penalty and
more murders in the other states,
which have retained it,
II is true that certain large indus
trial states which have retained the
death chair, have more deaths OF a
homicidal nature, other than murder.
than the states which are more rural
in their eyocations. and have abol-
ished capital punishment, but It by no
means follows from this that the for
mer have more murders.
The L. 5. census records under the
caption "homicdes' no fewer than
thrty.three (33) variations OF deaths
caused BY the hand of man without
any reference to the question whether
q crime was committed The census
does not gather the statistics from po-
lice or court records. 1t is purely
medical tabulation taken from the re-
ports of physicians in the several
states who do not generally know
whether any crime has caused the
deaths they report
II is therefore conclusive that the
L. S. census can no longer be quoted
to bolster up the absurd claim that
the number of murders in a state Is
reduced by abolishing the death pen
atty law
On the other hand, there is abund-
ance of evidence in government re-
ports of crime to show that murders
have greatly increased wherever the
stern law of death has been abolished
and it is fact worthy of emphasis
that most states and nations which
have even tried the experiment OF
discarding the threat of the death pen
atty have been forced from the in
crease of crime and murder resulting
therefrom, to return to the mandate
who so sheddeth mans blood by man
shall his blood be shed
