SECRETS OF
HEALTH
by d.. 9. "A. g. Reed-

WNE1E newspapers constantly re-
= cord the accidental deaths Of
motorists who have been running
their engines in small closed
garages, ana from time to time
somebody gets ''gassed' In q bath
and is either in danger Of death
or actually dead by the time any
one discovers their fate.
Recent work by ]. B. s. Hal
dane has shown that there Is some
special action of carbon monoxide
gas on the brain. We know that
it kills by combining with those
cells of the blood which ought to
pick up oxygen from the air to
carry to the tissues of the body
for their life processes. In this
way it prevents those cells from
combining with oxygen, and SO
starves the cells they supply OF
this essential constituent.
But DR.. Haldane's experiments
have shown that this is not all.
He found that rats could live in
the oxygen dissolved in their blood
IL they were first kept in high
pressure chambers for time, so
that the oxygen was dissolved in
excessive quantities at high pres
sure. Then they could live, even
il almost all their oxygen-carry-
ing cells were subsequently COM
bined with the useless carbon
monoxide.
But If they then .breathed an
excess of carbon monoxide. moro
than could enter into combination
with their blood cells. they began
to pant. and soon had commissions
and died. So there is some definite
positive poisoning action as we'll
as the passive prevention of oxygen
supply.
If this poison action picks out
brain tissue especially, it would
account for the curious disinclina-
ton to attempt to save them
selves which people gassed with
monoxide often disconcertingly
manifest. If they survive they
can often remember afterward
ing and did not bother to make
the effort to turn 1t off, or to open
the door and seek fresh air. DR..
Haldane thinks that there is
some substance in the brain which
Is especially sensitive to carbon
monoxide. An investigator named
Keilin showed that there was
some substance like this in the
muscles. With the brain and
muscles swiftly paralyzed there is
a peculiar danger in any escape
or production of carbon monoxide
in places where a person is likely
to be left alone and undisturbed
for some time.
InqueSts have shown that gas
appliances of poor design. or even
very good ones under bad condi-
tons, may burn with imperfect
oxidation and so form this danger
our gas. The danger, potentially
present in all water-heating de-
vices, such as geysers, can never
be overcome with certainty by
any mechanical device, so far as
is at present shown. The very
small bathrooms now provided in
apartment houses certainly add to
the danger.
1t is therefore most important
that everybody should know OF
the danger and that they should
leave the door of a bathroom
wide open while the water is
heating and the window q little
open at the top.
