o CONQUERS PAIN GIVES FORMULA
TO AMERICAN ARMY
MAN

Gordon Edwards. the man
who conquered pain" is about to
place at the disposal of our sur
geon general his remarkable an
aesthetic.
After four years work on the
British, Belgian, Frneh and
Italian fronts, he has returned to
America to consult the medical
officials of our army.
The anaesthetic is applied by
means of a spray in a Tine jet dl-
rectly on the raw surface. The
nerves are deadcned within 80
seconds and the patient feels no
sensation at all when adherent
gauze is removed and the raw sur
face dressed.
The elimination of pain from
4 wounds alone has saved many
lives. Terrific pain is almost al
wavs accompanied by what q is
known as shock, and condition
OF collapse which prevents the pa
tient from eating, sleeping or
conyalescing naturally. His vital
ity is therefore lowered, some
times to a point from which 1t IS
impossible for him to rally, and
so recovery is greatly retarded or
the patient does not get Well
Furthermore. pain prevents tDe
dressing OF wounds in thorough
manner and thus it is often ditii--
cult to keep bad wounds clean and
freshly dressed, because OF the
fright and agony the patient sui
fers when dressings are changed.
For this reason an anaesthetlc
which permits of frequent treat
ment for the wounds removed one
of the most serious agents work
