MEDICINE AGAINST MICROBES
what one excludes from the fam
ily medicine cupboard may be as
important as what the cupboard
contains. Life Is not novel.
Technical medical terms sucn as
sepsis or septiceInia, asepsis. aseptlc,
sterile. antiseptic, germicide, pas
teurize. sterilize, disnifect or disin-
fectant. infect or infectious, conta-
zion or contagious, epidemic, en-
demic and pandemic, have lost more
or less Of their precise meaning ~
process Of assimilation into popular
parlance.
For the sake Of health, economy
and peace Of mind it is well to have
q clearer concept Of these terms.
Sepsis means the presence OF pus
producing or other disease germs IN
the tissues. AS the blood is q tissue,
sepsis in the blood is septicemia
(acute blood poisoning). The char
acteristic manifestations of sepsis or
septicemia are chills, fever, sweatS
and prostration. Familiar local signs
Of septicemia developing in or from
minor wound are angry redness
about the margins Of the wound,
swelling, and tender red or purple
lines extending from the wound
along the course of lymphantics or
veins under the skin, to neighborine
lymph nodes or glands" which be-
come swollen and tender. Incident
ally, the most frequent cause OF
septicemia is the strain OF pus-pro-
ducing germs known as Streptococ-
Gus, particularly Streptococcus viri-
dams or Streptococcus hemolyticus.
In modern surgery asepsis Is the
ideal strived for. That Is, surgeon
assistant, nurse or whoever attends
the operation, dressing, treatment
strives to exclude germs altogether
from the field or the environment
The aseptic technique which L

ing. It is not to be confused with
"antiseptic precautions. No anti
septics are employed In the modern
operating room.
An antiseptic Is any agent thai
discourages or retards multiplication
or growth of germs. It does mo-
necessarily kill or destroy germs. A
substance which kills germs Is
germicide. The process Of pasteuriz,

heat for that length Of time, vir'

Superflcially informed person
harbor a naive notion that "anti
septic" remedies applied TO a woun,
somehow promote or favor the heal

no such substance can or does ap

in the healing process. Is the healing
process in fact.
A single application Of a disin-
fectant may be advisable in the tirst
aid treatment of any wound. For
this purpose Mild Tincture Of Iodine
(standard In the U. s. and B. Phar-
mocopoeias as Weak Tincture Of
Iodine; contains 2.5 per cent Of 10
dine) is useful. But once the wound
or injury is freed from infection by
this or other suitable first aid treat
ment, 1t is generally wise to avoid
further applications Of antiseptic,
germicide or disinfectant, for q
clean wound heals as promptly and
well as a wound can heal.
Besides boiling In water (con-
tanning a pinch Of washing soda to
prevent rusting), other efficient
methods Of sterilizing with heat are
baking, steaming in a pressure cook
err, and flaming, that Is, passing
soap-and-water washed scissors,
scalpel, needle or other instrument
through a flame. For ordinary pur-
poses such as opening pimples, boils,
blisters, cutting away exuberant
granulations ("proud fiesh"), remov-
ing slivers, ETC., 1t is sufficient to
plunge the instrument into a cake
Of wet soap just before using it
Ordinary ironing renders handker-
chiefs and similar things practically
sterile and safe to use on any
wound.

NOW THEY GETTING
STEW FROM STONES

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. April q
They are boiling rocks at Mas
sachusetts Institute of Technol-
ogy. Not in hot water. The rocks
themselves melt and boil.
The rock brew has been devel-
oped by DR.. r. d. Evans and
Clerk Goodman to obtain helium.
The helium is not for airships or
medicinal use. Ordinary rocks
have too little helium for that
about a pint of gas to a ton of
rock.
Tech is boiling rocks to find
out how many millions or billions
of years since the rock solidified
from a liquid. Perhaps the liquid
came up from a volcano-perhaps
it was the original molten stuff
that made earth, provided the
world was born from sun or star.
Helium tells the age of rocks
because it forms in them at a uni
form rate. It's formation is as even
as the moving hand of a clock.
This amounts to radioactive min
erals scattered through most, or
perhaps all rocks.
Lead is another product of this
disintegration and il can be- used
to read the age of rocks. But for
some purposes helium is simpler
