New Method for Testing
Heart, Told by Doctors

How the heart is made to reveal
its pathological secrets by the use
of saccharin and ether was related
to western area doctors by DR.. Hor-
ace B. Gates of Los Angeles.
The test he said, is made to as
certain if there is heart failure,
which to the medical man means
improper blood pumping rather
than, as laymen use it, heart stop.
page.
Saccharin, or a sugar solution, is
injected into a vein of the arm.
under this method. he said, and a
stop watch held ON the patient.
The sweet substance must then,
in the normal course of functional
activity, pass through both sides of
the heart and the lungs to emerge
on the tongue, where the patient
can taste it.
I'm this way we can tell how fast
the blood is flowing, with the normal
being about is seconds from arm to
tongue" DR.. Gates said. ''This time
will go up to 20 or 80 seconds if the
heart has failed"
But, he continued, the area of
disease can be even more isolated
by the subsequent use of an ether
injection.
Saccharin or sugar, being not cas-
lily soluble, passes over the whole
route from arm to heart, to lungs
and to the tongue.
But ether, being highly volatile,
or easily converted from liquid to
gas. is completely volatized when il
gets through the heart to the lung,
escaping through the windpipe there
so the patient can smell it.

St. Paul's Lutheran Vas Shelter
For Northern Troops In Civil War

St. Paul's Evangelical Lutheran
church, which probably has n of
the most magnificent interiors 81
any other church its size in North
Carolina, once served as a shelter
for Northern troops during the
Civil War.
The church was first organized
in Wilmington on May 81, 1858, in
the old Presbyterian church on
Front street with So charter men,
bers. The Rev. John H. Mengert,
who came to the city from Evans
vile, Ind, on Dec. %, 1858 was
the first pastor to serve st. Paul's.
Late in February of 1859 tn e
church council then resolved to
rent the session house in the rear
of St. James Episcopal church and
to arrange for regular services to
be held from there.
Seeing the need of a new build
ing, the trustees at that time
purchased the present site, Sixth
and Market streets, the first con
stitution of the church was adopt
ed with the signatures of 72 mem
bers on March 81, 1859.
Later that year in April the
North Carolina senate received the
congregation.
Now that land had been purchas-
ed, members became anxious to
begin the building of their o W n
church, 81 on Sept. g., that same
year the cornerstone for the pre-
sent building was laid.
Then the roaring guns of a ma
ton at war with each other halted
the building of the church, and in
1862 the first pastor resigned.
Then began a period of eight years
when the church was without a
pastor. But the congregation was
strong and continued to carry on
without the guidance of a pastor.
H. E. Eilers, who took over the
duties of a pastor, continued to
teach the Sunday school and faith
fully care for the spiritual wants
of the children.
When Fort Fisher fell in Jan
uary, 1865, and Wilmington was
occupied by northern troops, the
unfinished church building was
used by members of the army as
shelter and after they left the
church was in need of complete
remodeling.
Due to the intervening circum-
stances the congregation became
discouraged and almost lost all
hope of completing the church
which was begun in 1859.
But through the efforts of Eilers
and H. Vollers. the Rev. G. D.
Bersheir of Charlotte was per-
suaded to come to Wilmington and
serve as pastor of St. Paul's.
Then the members of the con-
gregation took on a new hope and
raised nearly $4,000 for the com
pletion of the structure, so 10
years after the church vas be-
gun the final work was completed
