SURGERY AN ANCIENT CRAFT

Surgery was already an art when medicine was only , a phase of superstition, the earliest record of surgery having been found among the Egyptians in a period about 3000 B. C. In z European museums are Instruments, lancets, tweezers, iron rods for cauter„iziition. andother -things used tian practitioners. Jewish and Greek surgery immediately followed that of the Egyptians, and surgery was held- In- high-esteem among the Indians at a remote ..age, as ' prerved “by Tlieir ancient proverb, "A physician who is no surgeon is like a bird with but one wing.” Instruments npvv on exhibition at Madras, Calcutta lAd Alexandria afford evidence of their skill. In Greece surgery had attained high proficiency long before the day of Hippocrates, .antl-in one ofliis-worksis found a complete trea’tise on the physician’s operating room, surgical instruments. and appliances, together with inst rm-tion in the correct method of use; on the proper posing of the patient, and the U,se of water and handages. Then follows a description of various wounds, from which it would appear that hemorrhages were arrested then, as now, with cold compress Tdr“sfj'ptTcs, while wounds were healed by primary union or suppuration. Lesion of the joints, injuries to the /spine and various kinds of dislocations are dealt with. Hippocrates’ surgery treats instructively on fractures and contusions of the skull. For fractures the standard operation was trephining, Which, in the view of the writer, shouldbe performed as speedily as possible. With the development of Roman surgery from —the —time of Galen, —the variety of instruments used increased to lhe number of 300. Among examples of these now in the museums of Rome and Naples are needles, hollow probes, pincers, cauteries, bistouris, lancets and scissors. For almost a thousand years the treatment of wounds, fractures and dislocations varied by bloodletting, remained unchanged. Under the Byzantines, medical service, appliance for the treatment of disease and wounds, was well organized, cavalry and infantry alike being supplied with a company of surgeons and assistants whose duty it was ,to firing the wounded out of action. . , Strangely enough; surgery, suffering from the general superstitious horror

VENTILATION

By DR. SAMUEL G. DIXON,

Commissioner of Health of Pennsylvania. The question of proper ventilation during the winter months is one which

pend upon the temperature and can be supplied by a proper heating ami ventilating system. The opening of windows while it admits the fresh air, often causes drafts which are uncomfortable, not to say injurious. Where a number of people are occupied in a room it is often a cause of’subjecting one or two to exposure if the windows are opened to secure ventilation. This can be avoided by an ample supply of warmed air. Numerous devices, more or less expensive, have been placed on the market but are not always satisfactory. The most economical and at the same time probably the most efficient ventilating device is one made of glass or wood eight or ten inches in height and made the width of the sash. This should be placed under the sash with a slant from the bottom to at an angle of 45 degrees, leaving an opening at the top covered with cheese clotfi; Ventilators of this sort are so simple that they can be made at small co.<rt anywhere and the covering can be readily replaced. They are suitable for office anti school room, living rooms and bed rpoins,. They permit, reasonable ventilation without too great a loss of heat and prevent thht stuffiness of atmosphere-whieh is dangerous to health and destructive to real comfort during the winter months. This device leaves am.opening 'between the upper and lower sasli through which the used air of the room may escape.,’ ” f 7 #

Good Family Dishes. Corn meal, if well cooked, makes one of the most nutritious and econo? mical of breakfast dishes and if served witli a good baked apple it is a hreakfast sufficiently nutritious for a growing child. When cooking corn meal jnix it with cold water to the consistency of pouring, then pour into a kettle of boiling salted water, enough to cook at least t&ee hours at the simmering point. See that the meal rapidly boils, then set back to simmer. When cooked with plenty of water each grain of corn meal will stand out by itself just as does rice when well cooked. A fireless cooker is an ideal place for this kind of cooking, yet the evaporation of water is limited so that must be lessened. ■ — Corn Gems. Beat the yolks of two eggs and add a cupful of milk, a half teaspoonful ter and a cupfur oT corn meal. Beat the mixture well, then add a half cupful of flour with a teaspoonful of baking powder. Fold in the well beaten whites of the eggs and bake for 20 minutes in a hot oven, using 12 gem pans. Cocoanut Egg Curry. Put two' tablespoonfuls of olive oil or butter into a saucepan; when hot, add four tablespoonfuls of chopped onion, stir until the onion is soft, add a teaspoonful of curry powder, the same amount of chopped red pepper and a chopped or finely grated cocoanut. Add a cupful of the cocoanut milk and cook slowly one hour. Dish and serve with poached eggs. Boiled rice, baked apples, stewed rhubarb or chutney go well with this dish. Codfish Croquets. One cupful of raw salt fish, two and a quarter cupfuls of potato cubes, one „ egg, one tablespoonful of butter and salt and pepper to season.

Dinosaur of Ancient Days Mere Pygmy by Side of the Blue Whale of Modern Times

It has been said that the first duty of a whale 4s to be large—the blue whale is, then, the most successful whale, for It is the largest creature which has ever'existed on the earth or in' its waters. Even those extinct giant reptiles, the dinosaurs, which splashed along the borders of the inland seas of Wyoming and Montana 3,000,000 years agoj'could not approach a blue whale either in length or weight, declares a writer in the New York' Independent. In 1903 a blue whale was weighed In sections in Newfoundland. The animal tvas 78 feet long, 35 feet around the shoulders, the head was 19 feet tn length and the tnH six feet from tip to tip. The total weight was 63 tons. The flesh weighed 40 tons, the blubber eight tons, the blood, viscera and baleen seven tons and the bones eight tons. Exaggerated accounts of the size-of blue whales are current even in reputable books on natural history, but the largest specimen which has yet been actually measured and recorded Is-187 feet- long, stranded a few years agoupon the coa.St of New Zealand; it must have weighed at least 75 tons.

This frame is covered with blankets or comfortables, packed closely it to form an extemporaneous chamber for the pant. ’ / -►A suitable heatpr or alcohol burner heats the air in a metal drum, which is connected by a pipe with an opening in the end of the bathing chamber. Another opening above it is. for the disposition of the used-up air. A rod with a handle at its end, supported on a bracket, extends.ftom the heater along the side of the bed to a point within convenient reach of the person enjoying the apparatus. By this means the heat supply can be controlled merely by reaching’out an arm.
