Having worried for years about the state Of the
nation and pondered Of late the relative merits Of the
gold standard as against initiation and all that sort
of thing. IL appears that the home owner is again
becoming conscious Of the business at hand and Of
his own peculiar personal properties and problems.
Here in the Valley as elsewhere we find that the
home owner Is realizing that he has more or less
neglected his property during the past few years, and
Is alive to the need OF home repair and home mod
ernization.
Under the stimulus Of the federal home drive. he
is making small loans and c~onsumating the needed
repairs. And best OF all, those who do not own their
own homes are awakening to the joys Of such owner
ship.
Home ownership and home improvement are two
sure paths to the goal Of contentment.

Real Estate Activity

Renewed activity has been noted Of late among
the real estate agents Of Brownsville. and sales have
been the result. This leads one to wonder II mayhap
the past dormancy Of the local real estate situation
may not have been at least partly the fault Of the
gentlemen Of that line Of business.
At any rate. they are on their toes now and We

Cesarean Births Made
Much Safer Today
BY DIR. MORRIS FsHBEIN
Editor. Journal Of the American Medical Association
and OF Hygeia. the Health Magazine

One Of the most dramatic operations in medicine
is that which involves cutting into the body Of a
prospective mother 10 remove her child.
All sorts of superstitions are associated with COM
mon knowledge Of this operation. It is said TO have
been called the Cesarean operation because julius
Caesar. IL was believed. was born by that method.
The first actual CeSarean operation which can be
authenticated was one which took place in Germany
in 1910. 1t is conceivable that the operation had
been done before that time. but those cases are not
authenticated.
There are records OF other cases performed In
the eighteenth century. These are exceedingly in
teresting, because IL must be remembered that up to
that time anesthetics had not been invented, neither
had surgeons learned how to prevent infections
a procedure introduced by Joseph Lister toward the
end Of the nineteenth century.
For a long time there was considerable argument
among surgeons as to whether the abdomen should be
sewed up or kept together with adhesive tape after
the operation. Then gradually stitching came into
general use.
First authentic record OF q successful CeSarean
operation in England with both mother and child
living. was recorded In I73s.
Possibly the first Cesarean operation successfully
performed in the United States was done in 1922.
However. there is a good record Of a case perform
ed in 1894 by DR.. Jesse Bennett Of Virginia This
case was not reported at once In medical records,
since the doctor had performed the operation on his
own wife.
When asked why he had not reported his case,
Bennett replied. mo doctor with any feelings Of
delicacy would report an operation that he had done
on his own Wife,
IN that operation the patient was stretched on a
crude table consisting Of two planks, and put under
the influence Of a large dose OF opium. The doc
tor did the operation himself and sewed up the
wounds. The patient survived, and the child. a
daughter. is said to have lived to be Is years Of age.
These are remarkable records and indicate the ire
mendous h~sndicaps overcome by our pioneer sur
geons in their efforts to meet the needs Of the i'll
under primitive conditions.
Surgeons work today in hospitals finely equipped.
They have the benefit Of numerous anesthetics
suited to the individual case.
The surgeon may be assisted BY one or more help
ers who aid in speeding up the work and in handling
emergencies. Nurses take care OF the necessary ap-
psratus. and the chance of the patient for recovery
is far beyond that under the primitive conditions Of
an earlier day.
